In today's episode of the podcast I'm joined by Alan Cross, who is a self-defined "Professional Music Geek," the host of The Ongoing History of New Music radio program, and author of The Secret History of Radiohead. We discuss Alan's view of Radiohead's career from the perspective of a radio broadcaster, how streaming is killing the music industry, and why the modern "song economy" means truly innovative music like Kid A and songs like Paranoid Android may not have become successful had they been released today.

8 - I Met Thom Yorke of Radiohead!

Today on the program my guest is Phil Rose who is an international speaker and author who has taught at a number of Canadian universities. He’s the author of a new book called “Radiohead: Music for a Global Future.” We discuss his book, how historical events influence the band and their music, and why it’s important to analyze a song’s lyrics even if they seem abstract or the associations are not immediately apparent.

Steve Hackman is the musical mind behind the compelling production Brahms Vs. Radiohead which fuses together Brahms’ First Symphony with Radiohead’s seminal album OK Computer. We discuss the vision behind the project, Steve’s passion for both classical and popular music, and how it’s helping not only bridge the gap between musical generations and expose new audiences to the orchestra, but how it brings new audiences to pop music as well.

Robert Jonas has seen Radiohead a whopping 28 times dating all the way back to 1993. We discuss some of his favorite concert moments over the years, why Thom Yorke dragged him onto a tour bus over a T-shirt, a hand written letter Robert received from Thom during The Bends sessions, and some tips on attending shows yourself. Near the end of the episode we go into the weeds and discuss the state of modern concert ticket sales, Elliott Smith, and speculate about why the band members' conservative lifestyles may have prolonged their careers.

This musically-dense episode is sure to be a favorite of any serious fan.   Show notes: http://okpodcast.com/3   Sponsor: http://daddario.com/playback

The National Anthem: A Conversation with Steve Hamilton

Most fans would agree that OK Computer and beyond represents the band's best work, but have you ever stopped to consider why this is from a musical perspective? Today on the podcast I'm joined by Brad Osborn, who is the author of a book called "Everything In Its Right Place: Analyzing Radiohead." We discuss the band's creative use of song forms, musical timbres, and, most interestingly how they choose to combine elements in ways that push the boundaries, but never quite break them. We also reach an amazing realization about why "Lift" may never have made it onto OK Computer. ----- Show Notes: http://www.okpodcast.com/2 Upgrade to the Gold Edition: http://www.okpodcast.com/gold ----- Buy D'Addario Guitar Strings: http://www.okpodcast.com/strings Learn about the "Playback Program": http://www.daddario.com/playback

Everything In Its Right Place: A Conversation with Brad Osborn

If you’ve ever tried to learn a Radiohead song on Guitar, you probably learned it on YouTube, and probably from Warren Lain’s YouTube channel called “Warren Music.” Warren has over 30 thousand subscribers, but is perhaps best known for his viral analysis of Videotape that received over 5 million veiws. Today, we get to know a little about Warren’s musical upbringing, which includes a degree in ethnomusicology (don’t worry he’ll explain what that is), how Radiohead completely blew his mind musically and completely changed the direction of his career, and some of his tips and tricks for learning tunes by ear. ----- Show Notes: http://www.okpodcast.com/1 Upgrade to the Gold Edition: http://www.okpodcast.com/gold ----- Buy D'Addario Guitar Strings: http://www.okpodcast.com/strings Learn about the "Playback Program": http://www.daddario.com/playback
