  • S11E8 - Reckoner by Radiohead

    Our season long dissection of Radiohead's In Rainbows continues with an analysis of "Reckoner" - the song Thom Yorke described as the thematic center of the album, the point that everything leads to and then recedes from. We'll dissect just exactly what he means by that as well as the song's incredible rhythm section and deeply moving lyrics about the human experience.

  • S11E5 - Weird Fishes / Arpeggi by Radiohead

    Our season long dissection of Radiohead's In Rainbows continues with its fourth track "Weird Fishes / Arpeggi" - an incredibly intricate musical arrangement that's considered among the band's best. We dissect the layered, multi-pattern guitar parts that create the song's immersive, oceanic soundscape as well as the potential symbolism of Thom Yorke's lyrics about being stuck at the bottom of the sea.
