Head Full Of Radio

Chase and Nico take a train into Michel Gondry's mind and fall into the darkness of the Knives Out Video. 

It's a mind mess, especially that weird microphone at the end!

Hey friends, we are very sorry, we missed some music videos that we didn't know existed, so this is an, "Andrew's Fault" redux where we go back and listen / watch an un-official video, and an official one to fill in those gaps.

So it's not a redux, but it's something, right?

Do you know who Sophie Muller is? We didn't until today either. Might be the only time you hear about Annie Lennox and Shakespeare's sister in a Radiohead Podcast as we discuss the resume of our video director for the "Real" I Might Be Wrong video.

The reasoning behind all of the Amnesiac blips all come together in this partially animated video and it feels like the boys did accidental homework!

A very unsettling music video that combines two songs - we suggest you listen to this early in the morning, or just listen to how we end up feeling weird and confused by it.

"It gets certain points for just being stylistically cool and different and enjoyable, but I think there's part of it that is a little bit not for me?"

We detangle the backwards/forwards recording of the song, and also listen to what the song sounds like backwards, or forwards? We listen to them both ways. Our heads are spinning, at this point.

Nico: "At First was like, 'yeah you've got me' and now it's like, "well i don't know if you've kept me.' Like a distorted version of being in a meditation lounge".

Nico loves the fact that this song appeared from a jam - "Usually it's like, 'they've spent 365 years underground measuring the antenna of a woodlouse'.. "

What are we teaching Nico in this episode? 
That music isn't that snake-y.

"Like adding in a Coda"
"What's anaconda?"
"Not anaconda, a coda, like an ending".

Nico finds some logic between AI and Knives out, and he kinda has an interesting point. 

Andrew does ASMR. Nico BOPS (not to the ASMR, to the song). Did you know three of the songs on this album are spaced specifically to deal with water related things?

"You told me this was going to be a regular song, but what does regular mean?"

- Nico 

Nico tenses up and waits for the revolving door to drop. Does it happen? No, it turns into what he calls, "Art Therapy".

Nico and Andrew finally met in person for the first time earlier this month! Andrew flew to London, and together they traveled to Oxford to see the "THIS IS WHAT YOU GET" Exhibit. 

We recorded this episode live in my hotel room using phones so, sorry about the quality. 

OH! Also! We found the street where the man in the Just video laid down. Andrew re-created it with Nico's Help. 

Good times, good times.

"Why is there a car? To be fair that's the least of my concerns right now."

....

"Oh.. More cars"

-Nico

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..."

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.

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.

It's a Choose Your Own Adventure situation: 

We all watch the blips and review them on our own. And you know you want to hear Nico's version the most, right? 

Also, the watch-alongs for this are available on Youtube for the first time.

"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.

Footprints, Blood, Cocaine, what is going on in this video exactly? Where does that lead our story?

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?

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.
