30. Radiohead's The King of Limbs, Part 1: "Bloom," "Morning Mr Magpie," "Little by Little," and "Feral"

Austin and Nick finally tackle The King of Limbs, an album that both admit to disliking when it was released in 2011. Will learning all the songs on guitar help them understand the thorny album or will it just be a universal sigh? Nick learns about magpies, while Austin gets into ocean documentaries. Why do they spend an inordinate amount of time discussing the Counting Crows? There's only one way to find out.

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.

About your hosts

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.

Nick Kindelsperger

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.
