The icy chill of Winter (and an apocalyptic election) is in the air, so what better time to talk about the landmark Radiohead album, Kid A!

Released 20 years ago this month, Kid A changed the way we thought about the band, what popular rock music could sound like, and how we consume music.

Join Andrew and Sean as they deep dive into what the album means to them and how it has shaped the music world over the past two decades (and the future).

Set list:

5:25- Catching up on albums released in quarantine

24:35- Kid A discussion

1:32:00- 30 seconds of silence before beautiful ambient noise ends the album.

It's been 10 years since an art band from Brooklyn who liked to scream a lot broke through the cultural zeitgeist with the greatest album of the indie blog era, Merriweather Post Pavilion.

2. Animal Collective discussion (7:15)

3. Top 5 Animal Collective (and solo project) songs (21:50)

Back in the day (around 2004), a review from Pitchfork could make or break a band. Groups like Tapes n Tapes made their career from a great Pitchfork review while Jet's career was derailed with a video of a monkey peeing in its mouth.

Tracklist:

1. New music of the week, including the latest from Thom Yorker, Yves Tumor, Spiritualized and Low (4:00)
