29. Radiohead's In Rainbows B-Sides

With In Rainbows over, Nick and Austin explore the polished leftovers found on the b-side disc. While a huge improvement over the Com Lag EP, the two do wonder why these songs don't stick in your head. Austin swears he'll never order bangers and mash, while Nick finds one of his least favorite songs of the project. Digressions abound, including more discussion about Seal than you'd ever imagine in a Radiohead podcast. Join the discussion on Facebook.

About the Podcast

Anyone Can Play Guitar
Learning every Radiohead song on guitar in order
Listen along as a food critic in Chicago and a Latin teacher in Switzerland make their way through the Radiohead catalog, learning how to play every song on the guitar. To prove they've put the time in, they're forcing themselves to record versions of each track to play for all to judge. Armed with this knowledge, they'll discuss each song, while simultaneously admitting to potentially embarrassing personal stories from more than 20 years of Radiohead fandom.

As a guide, we are following the Radiohead Complete: Lyrics & Chords (Faber Edition). What we can't learn there, we'll be looking up on sites like Ultimate Guitar and Songsterr.

I've trained for this music podcast by teaching Latin and English in German in Switzerland for the past nine years. I ride my bike a lot, but not for fun. I live in the same apartment as my wife and two sons.

Like all good music podcast hosts, I have been a food and dining reporter for the Chicago Tribune since 2016. Most days I can be found eating a questionable number of meals for research purposes.
