Sleeve Notes: Meet our Radiohead covers band

First Radiohead printed a newspaper, then the Guardian decided to put out a record. Then Radiohead reviewed the Guardian's record. Then the world imploded ...

Five things we learned from Radiohead's King of Limbs launch

? Thom Yorke is gunning for a subbing shift on our culture desk

? Guardian staffers can play Radiohead at their own game ? and form a band (the, er, Radio Eds)

? We probably shouldn't have left any evidence of this endeavour

? Radiohead's Colin Greenwood was happy to break Radiohead's press silence and review Radio Eds

? It's easy to forget that this was all about a new album by Radiohead

Seven more things we learned on the music site this week

? We had to find a new headline when everyone else used "check out the Hook"

? We finally had an excuse to get Charlie Sheen on to the music site

? There are even more depressing collaborations out there than Snoop/Sheen

? Not everyone's excited about the TOTP revival

? It's possible to make Rebecca Black sound like Sigur Ros

? R&B fans aren't all ready for the Weeknd

? We've introduced North Korea to "communist anthem" Common People ? our work there is done

Five tips for the big time

? Holy Other ? spooky, sex-free R&B

? Husband ? inspired by a time-travelling George Formby?

? Nicholas Jaar ? proving that slow really is the new fast

? Lil Silva feat Sampha ? pinging synths and chopped-up rhythms

? Bluebell ? DIY symphonic pop

And finally ...

? You can hear the new Low album. Like, now! And it's really rather lovely

? Stalking Summer Camp at SXSW

? Keren Ann live session

? Missed out on Glastonbury tickets? The resale of cancelled/refunded tickets takes place on Sunday 17 April. Visit http://bit.ly/resale2011

? Don't forget to follow us on the old Twitter (@guardianmusic for highlights, or @gmfeed for the full deluge)
