4. Radiohead's My Iron Lung EP

This seven song EP came out one year after Pablo Honey, but almost sounds like a completely different band. Nick and Austin gush over the various guitar lines on the title track, before finding comfort in Yorke's new terrifying lyrical style. Austin admits to playing one song constantly for over twenty years, while Nick manages to come up with at least one negative thing to say.

Songs Discussed:

2:22 - "My Iron Lung"

14:08 - "Trickster"

21:00 - "Lewis (Mistreated)"

25:55 - "Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong"

30:01 - "Permanent Daylight"

34:22 - "Lozenge of Love"

39:20 - "You Never Wash Up After Yourself"

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.
