"The Daily Mail" and "Staircase" are songs by the English alternative rock band Radiohead. They were released as a download single on 19 December 2011 in WAV and MP3 formats.[1] Both recordings are taken from the live video The King of Limbs: Live from the Basement (2011),[2][3][4] and feature additional drummer and percussionist Clive Deamer of Get the Blessing.[5]

"The Daily Mail" was written six years before the release. When the band decided to perform the song for From the Basement, a final arrangement "came together within a week", featuring a brass section arranged by guitarist Jonny Greenwood.[6] Radiohead worked on "Staircase" before their eighth album The King of Limbs (2011), but the song did not progress beyond the demo stages until after the album's release.[7]
