17. Radiohead's Kid A Part 3: "Idioteque," "Morning Bell," and "Motion Picture Soundtrack"
Nick and Austin don't need too much wine or sleeping pills to get through the last songs on Kid A. Just get ready for a discussion of old IBM computers, Wagner operas, and Bo Burnham. Nick forces Austin to listen to "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah," while they both rave about Alice Coltrane. For some inexplicable reason, the 1997 film Titanic comes up. They end the podcast with their Kid A Awards.
