The Guardian reports that next year, minimalist composer Steve Reich will premiere a new work at London's Southbank Centre, based on two Radiohead songs. Titled "Radiohead Rewrite", the piece reimagines "Everything In its Right Place" from Kid A as well as "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" from In Rainbows. It will be performed by 13 musicians from the London Sinfonietta on March 5, 2013.

Thom Yorke posted on Radiohead's Dead Air Space blog that the band contributed a number of songs from their back catalog to the documentary film The Island President.

Thom Yorke also speaks out in support of the film's stance on climate change

Noel Gallagher, Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane also shifted a lot of vinyl in 2011

'The Island President' is a film about the Maldives, and the struggle of President Nasheed to get the voice of a small nation heard in the climate change debate.
Unless something is done to stop rising sea levels they will lose everything.
The country will be under water.
Some of our music was used to help tell the story.
The film won 'Best Documentary' at the Toronto film festival and will be screened this week at the Sundance film festival.
