9. Radiohead's OK Computer, Part 2: "Airbag," "Subterranean Homesick Alien" and "Exit Music"

Everything's off kilter this week, as Nick and Austin discuss "Airbag," "Subterranean Homesick Alien," and "Exit Music." Both gush over Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo and Juliet," while failing to even mention Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues." Austin tries to get into some Miles Davis, while Nick repeatedly gets the title of Sogyal Rinpoche's The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying wrong. (He's very sorry.) But first, Austin sees if Nick remembers how to play some songs we've already discussed.

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.

About your hosts

Austin Diaz

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.
