OK Computer - Radiohead: Episode 220
Manage episode 508609869 series 2973304
No alarms and No Surprises! This week we're revisiting Radiohead for the Year Of Redemption! Connor tore into the experimental nature of Kid A on Episode 53, so we're turning back the clock to another definitive, revolutionary Radiohead record: OK Computer. We'll learn the story behind this iconic album (from transportation anxiety to haunted mansions), which features some of their greatest hits like Paranoid Android and Let Down! The Mixtaper plays the role of Karma Police with Fact Or Spin rounds about sleepy fans, puppet publicity, and bullying. Can this song-shaped non-concept album get Lucky and increase Connor's score, or is Radiohead a band doomed to the bottom of his rankings?
