10. Radiohead's OK Computer, Part 3: "Let Down," "Karma Police," "Fitter Happier," and "Electioneering"

It's a dramatic episode this week, as Nick and Austin dig into "Let Down," "Karma Police," "Fitter Happier," and "Electioneering." Will their friendship survive after they get into a heated disagreement about one of Radiohead's most popular songs? Austin also lays out his grand theory about why he loves songs that sound like they were written on the couch, while skewering the idea that it’s possible for machines to measure sadness. Nick, once again, talks an awful lot about The Beatles, and then reveals his least favorite song on the album.

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.
