Season 4 Introduction: Is It Rad In Yo' Head?

The Big Mates discuss art vs. entertainment, the ecstatic truth,
music as a time capsule, and introduce Season 4 of the What Is
Music? podcast.

It's called "Is It Rad In Yo' Head?: A Critical Analysis
of the History, Cultural Impact, and Music of Radiohead."
Adam, Steve, and Lucas being their deep-dive exploration of
Radiohead by talking about their own experiences with the
five-piece band from Oxford, how they first discovered them, and
how much they already know.

They then tackle some Radiohead FAQs, discuss the role of the
critic in art, and reveal what they're most looking forward to
about the season to come.

The season to come will be an album-by-album, track-by-track
exploration of Radiohead's entire career, associated side
projects, the context around each release, behind-the-scenes
stories of each recording session, a look at the legacy of the
albums they've released, and a review of pretty much everything
Radiohead have ever done, complete with scores, rankings, and
lists! It promises to be exhaustive, informative, and fun as we
approach the band from three differing perspectives on music,
from being deeply into analysis and music, to not caring for art
or critique, and everything in between.

What makes a great album great? Are Radiohead overrated? Which
Avenger is Thom Yorke? Find out on this episode of What Is
Music?

Our next episode is out on Monday April 18th and will look at the
early days of Radiohead and their debut EP, Drill.
