Radiohead Heads Radio

Episode 43 – If You Say the Word

It’s time for a very special episode of Radiohead Heads Radio! We’re recording in person for the first time in over a year and celebrating Amnesiac’s 20th birthday. With the Kid Amnesiac reissue finally (somewhat) confirmed we speculate about what would make for a solid reissue of those classic albums. We also break down Thom and Jonny’s post-punk sidepiece, the Smile. Lots of bangers with some funky bass from Thom, sick shredding from Jonny, and jazzy beats from other Tom. There’s plenty of news in the ole newspile including some theories that AMSP is Radiohead’s secret goodbye, a delightful fanzine from 1994, Radiohead’s relationship to video games, and of course those ever perplexing TikToks! #MEWanon™️

Episode 42 – We Don’t Know What Tomorrow Brings

Step onboard the hype train and put on your tinfoil hats because things are a-stirring in Radioheadland! We dive real deep into what all these mysterious TikToks could possibly mean: New album? Kid Amnesiac anniversary box set? Or just trolling? The evidence points in many interesting directions. Also, the regular newspile is filled with all sorts of goodies. Ed’s charming chat with Phil “Mad Dog” Selway and his fanboy brodown with Macca, Thom using Creep for ~*~fashion~*~, and the first livestream of this year's YouTube concert series -- a 2008 gig at an impossibly small venue in London. #bumblefuck

Episode 41 – I Might Be Wrong

Rejoice, for it is a new year, and the 10th anniversary of the most mysterious, controversial, and misunderstood Radiohead album! We trudge through the many interesting takes on what makes the King of Limbs great and what makes it...not great? We also take on the ever-growing newspile including some nostalgic auction items, Jonny’s upcoming film scores, and Thom’s eclectic playlists. Plus we play a new game, Thom Tweets or Boomer Facebook posts!

Episode 40 – Feral

This incomparable year is finally coming to an end, and we take a wary look back at it as we sift through the ever-growing newspile and talk about our favorite music of 2020. We chat about Thom’s new collab with his old buddies Burial and Four Tet, Jonny's growing collection of awards, Ed’s In Isolation videos, and even more Radiohead covers. And hey, where’s the Kid Amnesiac reissue?! Maybe it'll come bundled with the vaccine and we'll finally be able to go to Thom's and EOB's postponed concerts. Happy Holidays, everyone!

Episode 39 – Life in a Glasshouse

We’re back to celebrate the 20th anniversary of everyone’s favorite turn of the millenium masterpiece: Kid A! We scour through countless articles with takes both hot and cold about Radiohead’s fourth record and dive deep into Steven Hyden’s excellent new book, THIS ISN'T HAPPENING: RADIOHEAD'S "KID A" AND THE BEGINNING OF THE 21ST CENTURY. Along the way we give some recommendations on things to watch and listen to that’ll soothe your quarantined soul, introduce a new segment where we discuss new covers of Radiohead songs, marvel at Ed's new guitar toy, and discover the nefarious reason Colin hasn’t put out a solo record. Oh and also please wear a mask and VOTE!

Episode 38 – Kid A

We’ve crawled out of our quarantine holes to bring you the Ed-centric episode you’ve all been waiting for! Ed released his very first solo album, Earth, and we gave it half a dozen spins so we can tell you which songs are summer anthems and which songs are ethereal stoner jams. We also dig through all of Ed’s recent interviews for all the juicy tidbits like how Ed and Thom met and who’s the “band mum”. Plus, our quarantine music, tv, and film recommendations, some more surprising Radiohead covers, the meaning of “cottagecore”, and much speculation about the probable Kid A/Amnesiac anniversary reissue.

Episode 37 – Long Time Coming

Our first episode of the year is here and there is much to talk about! Radiohead has opened the doors to their very own Public Library filled to the brim with exciting treasures. We dig through puzzling webcasts of yesteryear, a plethora of fantastic concert videos and tv appearances, wild stories in newsletters from the 90s, and never before seen artwork. We also had a great time vibing with Ed at one of his first solo shows in NYC! Plus, we discuss Stanley Donwood’s graphic novel release, Thom’s upcoming tour, and a film that contains a surprising Radiohead song.

Episode 36 – Everything In Its Right Place

It’s the holiday season and we have a special gift for you: a jam-packed episode where we look back at the 2010s and reminisce on all the good times, the bad times, and the meme times. Remember how you felt when you first saw Thom dancing in that bowler hat? Remember listening to King of Limbs for the first time? Remember the excitement to the lead-up of A Moon Shaped Pool? Also, we chat about Ed (or EOB) and his lengthy single, more intriguing Thom interviews, a mysterious package that Kristina received via air mail, and of course our favorite music of this year and our predictions for Radiohead’s 2020. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Episode 35 – A Reminder

It’s time for our third annual spooooky Halloween episode and we’re digging into the most terrifying of all topics: Radiohead and POLITICS! Join us as we journey to the beginning of Radiohead injecting politics into their songs, figure out when Thom became obsessed with climate change, and try our very best to explain what’s going on with Brexit. Also, we have an alarming amount of news in the ever-growing pile, including Thom’s extended tour and delightful interviews, EEEDDD’S first mesmerizing single, Jonny’s all-encompassing new piece (and perverse love for the recorder), and Stanley’s stunning new book!

Episode 34 – Electioneering

Jukebox musicals are all the rage these days so we wondered what a Radiohead musical would be like. We enlisted the services of our friend and musical wiz Matt Roi Berger to pitch some possible Radiohead Broadway shows and oh boy, does it get intense. Plus, we briefly dive into the history of pop musicals and chat about Anima again, Thom’s possible beefs, his upcoming song for Motherless Brooklyn, and a delightful 90s mashup. VIVA FOREVER!

Episode 33 – Where Bluebirds Fly

The day has finally come: Thom Yorke’s third solo record, Anima, has arrived. We were fortunate enough to see an IMAX screening of the one-reeler and we’re still in awe! In this episode we chat about the mysterious marketing campaign, the film’s beautiful images and fantastic choreography, and how the stunning album itself made us feel...pretty good! Plus we wade through Thom’s enlightening interview with Zane Lowe and board the hype train for the possible Kid A/Amnesiac anniversary release. Guys, don’t forget how lucky you are!

Episode 32 – (Ladies & Gentlemen, Thank You for Coming)

All alarms and many surprises, we listened to all 18 hours of the Ok Computer minidiscs and have plenty to discuss! We share our favorite moments, the oddest sounds and the funkiest jams and try to unravel the sticky plot of how this gigantic leak made its way onto the internet. Plus, we chat about Black Mirror’s recent use of Radiohead, Thom (or his smoking doppelgänger) being spotted in NYC and Kristina’s eternal love of spooky scores. Also, a special minidisc version of song sommelier!

Episode 31 – How I Made My Millions

This is a round up! It’s been about a month since our last episode and there’s so much Radiohead news and happenings that we had to record a whole episode to get through it all. We chat about Ed’s upcoming solo record and his love of birds, Thom’s foray into “classical” music and his great interview with CRACK Magazine (not Cracked), a violent video game trailer inexplicably featuring an intense Radiohead cover, and much much more. Plus, an airplane themed song sommelier!

Episode 30 – the Daily Mail

Radiohead finally joins rock royalty with much reluctance as they are inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of fame. We luckily were able to snatch some tickets and watch as the ceremony unfolded for many, many hours. Who was there? What did they wear? Did David Byrne’s speech inspire or confound? We have all those answers plus some behind the scenes tidbits from our mole on the inside. Plus we chat about an surprising Pyramid Song cover, Colin’s first cover story, Thom’s LP3 rumor mill, and Jonny’s possible connection to an awful film. Special thanks to Joe and Kristen from Who Cares About the Rock Hall? This is a big fucking deal!
