Radiohead - OK Computer B-Sides and OKNOTOK


Listen Later

To cap off season 2, Nick and Austin tackle the remaining OK Computer b-sides, coming up with a grand theory to explain why some of these songs aren't as impressive as b-sides from The Bends. The two also have very conflicting feelings about the three "new" songs that showed up on OKNOTOK, the 20th anniversary edition of OK Computer. Did the band rerecord them in 2015? Fortunately, the episode ends with the OK Computer awards, where they get to select their favorite songs.
