19. Radiohead's Amnesiac Part 2: "I Might Be Wrong," "Knives Out," "Morning Bell/Amnesiac," and "Dollars and Cents"
Austin and Nick square off again, as they break down the middle of Amnesiac. Nick, once again, starts the episode by stating that the first song sounds like a demo, while Austin tries to convince Nick that this version of "Morning Bell" is better than the one on Kid A. Along the way, the two discuss the legendary Morrissey Night at Sway in Manhattan, before examining how the lyrics of "Knives Out" were inspired by a British TV show. But the show starts with another round of Name That Alternative Rock Riff.
