Head Full Of Radio

"Why is there a car? To be fair that's the least of my concerns right now." .... "Oh.. More cars" -Nico Remember to watch along with us on vimeo.com/headfullofradio

Thom:  "(For this album) We are definitely having singles, videos, glossy magazine celebrity photo-shoots, children's television appearances, film premier appearances, dance routines and many interesting interviews about my tortured existence." Nico: "Well there's a line..." Want to hear every episode, and see every video review? head to https://archive.org/details/he...

The band recorded Optimistic the day after laying the tracks down for this one, so maybe that's telling where it fits within the context of score? Also somehow it took a long time for Andrew to bring up Stanley, which is not what a good host should be doing here. Certainly not shim-shimming.

Nico felt like this was very White Lotus-y, "I don't know, it was just cool. I feel like I certainly haven't processed it. It's confused me but drawn me in." Which is how Andrew feels about ACTUALLY being in the same city, hanging out with his co-host at the time this episode airs!

Ready to learn about Saddam Hussein and Christiane Amanpour? No? Well it DOES have information on where the title of the song came from. We also learn about the United Nations Special Commission and tunnels and more tunnels.

Thom: "More of an orgy of violence, politics, and not politics. I don't know man, that's what's going on inside my head and I won't lose sleep about it anymore because it obviously benefits the music, thank god." Nico: A lot to unpack there. Good for him, whatever that means. Want to hear every episode, and see every video review? head to https://archive.org/details/h...

Andrew is transported back into the living room of an old friend who tried to teach him how to play piano, while Nico wishes he was on mushrooms.

Chase is so flabbergasted that he doesn't speak through a lot of this episode, but it's fun to listen to anyway.  Watch along with him on our youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@headfullofradio

"If these were Radiohead songs, I'd ask ' Where's all the stuff? I want the stuff'.. "  This is how Nico feels about reviewing the three songs Thom appears on for PJ Harvey's album, "Stories From The City Stories From The Sea" and Andrew Predicts the score Nico will give the tracks. How do you feel about them? 

The boys are generally confused as to how these smiling bears play instruments.  If you want to watch along with us, head to vimeo.com/headfullofradio

Footprints, Blood, Cocaine, what is going on in this video exactly? Where does that lead our story?  Watch along with us at vimeo.com/headfullofradio

Nico is late to the recording session and is pasted in - it's finally the episode you're dying to hear - what happens when Nico is unleashed and un-interrupted? Watch the video with us on vimeo.com/headfullofradio

We watch Radiohead's Performance on SNL in 2000. They play "The National Anthem" and "Idioteque".  Make sure to head to vimeo to watch along. 

Are you ready to get lost in your feelings? It's certainly difficult to not do that when you're listening to this track, the closer of Kid A.  Andrew certainly breaks down mid song, and Nico sounds like he wants to give the guy a hug. A real bonding, emotional episode here.

The biggest disconnect in scoring between Andrew and Nico we've seen so far, and we're 124 episodes in so that tells you something. Just not sure what that something is.

"Everything all of the time", that keeps me stimulated and moving, and I'm occupied with the ADHD of it all. - Nico

Nico thinks this song is form-less and really struggles with "what's Next?"

"It's an Ed. That's all I can say," - Nico

Possibly the best sounding episode - Nico finally has a new microphone! Also, we talk about the song, but this is important! 

"I'm glad it hasn't hit me into a complete slump because sometimes songs like this get stuck in your head and you go, ' Well that's my day '. " A glowing review from Nico.

We discuss how Thom broke his foot conducting a band, to the bass part he wrote when he was 16. 

What's an Ondez Martinot? Even after seeing one we don't know what it does, but hey whatever it's doing sounds perfect. 

"When you were talking about all the synthesizers, I don't know what direction this is going to go in and If I'm going to like it... BUT..." If that's not a good review, I don't know what is.
