Radiohead - Kid A (Pt. 1)
Description
Season three delves into the wilds of Radiohead's Kid A and Amnesiac. Prepare for multiple semi-serious discussions of the unconscious, the terror of fairy tales, and the late 90s phenomenon of adding a DJ to every rock band. They start by exploring the first three tracks of Kid A, but can you play any of them on guitar? Nick also tries to dispel some common narratives about Kid A, while Austin wades into the world of free jazz.
