At long last, the debut album from Thom, Jonny, and Tom without an H has arrived! We spent so much time gushing about it that we had to split it into two episodes. Part two coming shortly! Join our Discord server: https://discord.gg/VEHYWpnJPh

After catching up with the wealth of new music from The Smile and Thom that we've been blessed with over the last few weeks, we finally tackle the remaining tracks from Anima.

Hot on the heels of The Smile's latest live exploits, we get together to discuss the new tracks and then kick it back to the Kid A/Amnesiac reissue from the end of last year.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are called The Daily Mail! Not The Daily Mail like the shitty newspaper, more like your favorite Radiohead podcast. We're here to dissect the exciting new development in the Radiohead Extended Universe, the Thom-and-Jonny side project The Smile.

We made it out of 2020 and into 2021, which is really just three 2020s standing on each others' shoulders in a trenchcoat, and your hosts are here to talk it out. We reminisce on some of our favorite live Radiohead experiences and our favorite live music memories in general, and speculate on what may be next for the band post-COVID.

We catch up after a few months off the air to chat about pandemic life, and don't actually talk about Radiohead much? Sorry about that. Anima content will return; in the meantime, we get into some of the things getting us through quarantine, and how we're relating to Radiohead's music in isolation. Link to the communal Spotify playlist - share what you've been listening to lately! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/59BSbZJlzUMDjNIPQVv6Ga?si=Ac9SvcuSSDij1TuF3epKlw Links to listener-provided content mentioned in this episode: https://soundcloud.com/user-240615167/kidz-these-days https://a-newsletter.webnode.com/issue-38/

The long-awaited deep dive into Anima begins! Expect to hear the word “banger” approximately 500 times, and that's just for the first three songs on the record. Plus: a firsthand account from Ed's first solo tour, including a fortuitous meeting…

We're back from hiatus! And Radiohead sure did some stuff in the last six months! We take some time today to catch up on a few things, including the release of Anima, Ed going solo, and the newly unveiled Radiohead Public Library. Plus: what it was like to meet Thom Yorke and not make a total idiot of oneself, hopefully.

In light of recent OK Computer leak-related events, we got together to record a VERY SPECIAL EMERGENCY EPISODE to acknowledge it and talk about it a bit - one of us has listened to the leaks and one of us has not, and we thought this would be a short bonus episode but we ended up talking for almost an hour and a half because of course we did. (This episode does not include any audio from the leaks, so that even if you are choosing to abstain from listening to them, you need not abstain from the podcast.)

After catching up on the latest news regarding Thom's new album, Ed's new album, and Kid A Not a Dick, we get to finally discuss our namesake song, somehow manage to ruin Staircase for everybody, and then dunk on Twilight for an episode. The pod is full of secrets to be told! (FYI: this episode was recorded pre-OK Computer sessions leak, but more on that very soon...)

We're back to discussing the music this week, with a few tracks from the King of Limbs era to dive into, like a couple of particles diving into the supercollider or something?? Spoiler alert, I (Anne) don't understand particle physics at all and that will be made clear over the course of this discussion. Plus: progress reports on Ed and Thom's solo albums, the band's recent induction into the Rock Hall, and speculation over a possible Kid A/Amnesiac anniversary reissue. Check out podcast listener James' recent appearance on Rock Solid, discussing Radiohead! https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/radiohead/id450705818?i=1000429844262&mt=2&fbclid=IwAR3w60rVsqGpTJ28zngFHnd2iIl7d60oNapMTT58PTh4UsLv5nzFx4bA51Q

The Daily Mail reunited IRL to see Thom Yorke on the Tomorrow's Modern Boxes tour last week, and we get together today to talk about how great it was (spoiler alert: really fucking great.) Plus: Suspiria, LP3, and what we think might be in store from the band in 2019. Thanks for another year of listening to us talk about Radiohead for way too many hours!

We're doing some housekeeping this week after a few months away, reconnecting to discuss the end of Radiohead's latest tour, Thom's newly announced North American dates (yes, your hosts will be in attendance), and the impending release of the Suspiria soundtrack, and to catch up on listener emails. Also, Thom wore a dope suit on the red carpet and we talk about that a little bit too.

For our FIFTIETH EPISODE, we reconvene after a weekend in Chicago to go over our experience together at nights one and two of the latest tour leg. Featuring recorded conversations and interview material from before and after the shows, our favorite moments of the weekend, the songs that shocked us the most (Blow Out!!), and your hosts finally getting to meet in person, this is surely the episode that'll be on our videotape at the pearly gates.

We reconvene this week to discuss the remaining bangers (& mash) from In Rainbows Disc 2, plus an extra song from 2009, just because we love you guys. Also of note this week: wrapping up Thom's recent solo tour (with some podcast exclusive info on his next solo album!), and getting hype for the impending Radiohead tour, including the Chicago date that we are both (!!) going to. Until then, enjoy the latest installment of our twisted words.

What is up, buttercup? We return this week, in between the latest Radiohead tour and the imminent Thom Yorke solo tour, to catch up on emails, discuss three songs from In Rainbows Disc 2, and talk about a couple of dudes named Mark or something. Welcome back to topsy turvy town.

In the midst of Thom Yorke LP3 hype, we turn back the clock to 2006 and revisit some bonus tracks from The Eraser era. Join us as we talk rat's nests, goat's eyes, drunk machines, and everything in between. Weluvya, listeners. Spoilers for PHANTOM THREAD in this week's episode.

Exciting times, fellow Radio heads! (Radioheads? Radiohead Heads?) After getting right into the newly announced North American tour dates (!!!), Thom's cryptic Twitter activity, and Jonny's impending trip to the Oscars, we finish up the Com Lag EP with another remix and a few tracks that we suspect may actually be Thom/Atoms for Peace projects in disguise. Tune in next time for even more Thom solo tracks, as we revisit some b-sides from The Eraser.

I Am An Insane Child, perhaps? Or maybe you're just A Very Rude Person? Whoever you are, we hope you'll enjoy the first Daily Mail episode of 2018! After putting on our Official Internet Lawyer hats to dissect the recent legal drama with Lana Del Rey, we jump right back into our b-side series, kicking off the year with some Hail to the Thief-era tracks. Featured this week: a remix, an instrumental, and a song from the Com Lag EP.

Our last episode of 2017 concludes our discussion on the Kid A/Amnesiac b-sides, tracing the threads between songs that call back to other significant tracks in Radiohead's catalogue. We also review Thom's recent tour dates and speculate on the future of his unreleased new material. We'll see you in 2018 with a return to the Hail to the Thief era!

After a lengthy series on the OK Computer era, we turn our attention to the unique and experimental b-side tracks from the Kid A and Amnesiac sessions. A little bit of knowledge about these tracks won't destroy you! Also part of our discussion this week: South American tour dates, Thom's upcoming solo shows (which have by now already come and gone), and Ed's future solo album.

We finally say goodbye to the OK Computer era as we wrap up our discussion on the record's remaining b-sides and catch up on the latest Radiohead news, including Thom's upcoming solo tour. Coming up next, Kid A/Amnesiac bonus tracks! We hope you're ok too.

After covering the new material included in the OKNOTOK reissue, we turn our attention to the OG b-sides of OK Computer, starting with Polyethylene, Pearly*, and A Reminder. Also discussed this week: the best tracks for introducing people to Radiohead without totally freaking them out. Not discussed this week: The new video for Lift (because Ben didn't watch it.)

It's the grand return of The Daily Mail! We catch up on listener emails after our accidental summer vacation, and then dive right into the bonus material included on the OKNOTOK cassette tape - unreleased songs, demos, alternate takes, and miscellaneous bits and bobs. Plus: we speculate on what's next for the band, including a rumored tour in South America next year.

A very special episode this week, as we FINALLY get the opportunity to discuss the new/old tracks included on the 20th anniversary OK Computer reissue: Lift, I Promise, and Man of War! With this episode recorded fresh off their release, we talk about our own histories with these songs and how we feel about their officially recorded versions, alongside all the usual lyrical analysis and live performance talk you know and love. So lighten up, squirt!

This week, we fade out again on The Bends, wrapping up Radiohead's early 90s output with four final b-side tracks. Anne and Ben go head to head on How Can You Be Sure (of all songs) but fangirl together over India Rubber, Killer Cars is examined as another instance of Thom's lyrical preoccupation with cars, and Maquiladora's unusual connection to the band's early history is revealed. Plus: the podcast's one year anniversary, with our thanks to all of you!

Your talk show hosts have returned for another marathon Radiohead chat sesh! We spend a good chunk of time this week catching up with emails and fan feedback, but we still manage to find some time for three tracks from the Street Spirit single; plus, the upcoming OK Computer 20th anniversary reissue, and revisiting A Moon Shaped Pool on its first birthday.

Hot on the heels of a Coachella livestream riddled with technical difficulties, we finish up the My Iron Lung EP's last three tracks on this week's episode - the Larkin-inspired Lozenge of Love, Sonic Youth homage Permanent Daylight, and one-take wonder You Never Wash Up After Yourself. Next episode: even more b-sides from The Bends!

This episode marks our first venture into the numerous extra tracks from The Bends era, starting with three songs from ‘94's My Iron Lung EP; you'll find some discussion over the superior production quality of The Bends vs. Pablo Honey, a surprising dust up over the chorus lyrics to Punchdrunk, and an intensive investigation into the identity of the mysterious mistreated Lewis. Plus, Anne recounts her experience seeing two back to back Radiohead shows over the weekend. * This episode is dedicated to the memory of Adam Brown. *

We finish up the Pablo Honey era for good this week with a few extra b sides - considering possible secret diss track Yes I Am, subjecting Faithless The Wonder Boy to intense lyrical scrutiny, wondering where the heck the title Coke Babies even came from, and breaking down the transition between Pablo Honey and The Bends with in-between track Banana Co. Plus: a few emails give us the impression that Pop is Dead may have more genuine fans than we first believed...

Having completed our discussion on Radiohead's LPs, this week we shift our focus to the band's extensive b-side collection, returning all the way back to the Pablo Honey era with a few obscure early tracks and a notoriously ill-advised one-off single. You may learn about some songs you've never heard before, or rediscover a hidden gem! Either way, Anne and Ben have got you covered. Long live pop.

It's the second and final episode of Tomorrow's Modern Boxes, full of the insightful song discussions, irrelevant conversational tangents, and questionable punnery that you've all hopefully come to know and love from this podcast. By the end of this episode, TMB haters will definitely have come around to the album's brilliance, and fans of the record already will love it even more! (This is not a guarantee.) As we've now reached the end of our full album coverage, next week begins our b-side series - get ready!

Finally, we've reached the last truly uncharted territory of this podcast - Thom Yorke's second solo album, Tomorrow's Modern Boxes. Anne and Ben are primed and ready to defend this underrated record to the masses, delving into Thom's continuing relationship with electronic music and the album's unconventional release via Bittorrent. Plus: is it really possible to officially determine the most depressing Radiohead song through science?

The last Atoms for Peace-themed episode this week focuses on the last three tracks of Amok, including our mutual favorite song from the record. While Thom and Nigel are off DJing for Rag & Bone, Anne and Ben are debating song interpretations, discussing the time Ben heard Reverse Running live at a soundcheck, and questioning how the heck Thom ever ended up on a Twilight soundtrack.

Yes, another episode of The Daily Mail devoted to Atoms for Peace has dropped (see what we did there?), this week turning to the middle segment of Amok. In addition, we discuss the crossover between Radiohead and RHCP fans among Atoms for Peace listeners, and ponder why Jonny Greenwood has yet to win an Oscar for his film score work. Ben also describes what it was like to meet Thom Yorke - twice! - after Atoms for Peace gigs.

It's our first episode covering Thom's side project Atoms for Peace this week, with the first three tracks from 2013 album Amok. Highlights this week: Ben's experience seeing Atoms of Peace live seven times, discussion on generational differences between Radiohead fans, a grammatical epiphany, and the best Radiohead songs to soundtrack Nazi punching. Plus: Anne freaks out over Radiohead's upcoming show in Portland, their first in over 20 years!

...or listen to this, the latest episode of The Daily Mail! It's The King of Limbs part 2 this week, where we reflect on the album's current legacy, remember where we were the first time we watched the iconic Lotus Flower video, and try to figure out why we interpret the second half of the record so differently - plus some day-early speculation on the now confirmed US live dates. (We also somehow go off on a tangent about Star Wars at one point, so spoilers for Rogue One abound!) And if you think this is over, then you're wrong - the podcast continues from here on out with Atoms for Peace, Tomorrow's Modern Boxes, and Radiohead's extensive b-side catalogue.

The Daily Mail is back! Our first episode of the new year delves into Radiohead's first and only “newspaper album”, The King of Limbs. Often maligned and misunderstood, we discuss TKOL's transitional position in the Radiohead canon and offer our own personal defenses for the album we both love. Anne wrestles with her thoughts on Bloom in the studio vs. live, while Ben tries to convince her that Radiohead will tour beyond Coachella this year. All this means it's another long episode after a long time away.

Just a quick message from Anne on podcast plans for next year, best holiday wishes, and thank yous as we approach the milestone of 10,000 plays! See you all in 2017 for TKOL.

This is one for the good days: the last episode of our In Rainbows series, focusing on the epic final tracks. Listen in while we debate over the meaning of Jigsaw Falling Into Place, put Videotape head to head with some of the heaviest songs in the Radiohead canon, and try to pick out the unusual sample in House of Cards. Plus: Radiohead heavily rumored to headline Coachella next year, and what it means regarding the possibility of more tour dates.

Another long player this week, as we dive into four tracks from In Rainbows. We also consider the pros and cons of seeing Radiohead live at indoor vs outdoor gigs, discuss A Moon Shaped Pool's current standing in the 2016 new music scene, and Ben explains why he's so hesitant to finally claim a favorite Radiohead song. This episode is dedicated to all human beings.

The Daily Mail finally gets to take on Radiohead's modern day classic, In Rainbows! The infamous pay-what-you-want release method, the artwork, the 2006 road test tour, the long journey of Nude; all these and more discussed this week. Also featuring objectively the greatest Radiohead remix of all time, which you can listen to right here on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/jeffpeff/01-nude-pefflabs-wtf-mix

After a lengthy discussion on the outcome of the presidential election, we conclude our analysis of The Eraser with the three heavy-hitters that close out the record. There's particular focus on how to handle topics like climate change and governmental corruption in songwriting, and contemplating the role and/or duty of the artist in turbulent times. Plus, a belated birthday wish to Jonny Greenwood, and new questions about Stanley's process for A Moon Shaped Pool's album art. *Skip ahead to 32:00 if you're not interested in the political talk

In the wake of happily confirmed tour dates for 2017, Anne and Ben maintain their attention on “The Era-zahhh” for another episode. Ben throws down some knowledge on black swan theory (not to mention the correct way to eat artichoke hearts) and we analyze Skip Divided/Atoms For Peace as contrasting complements to each other. And Ed went to a Phish concert in Vegas, because of course he did.

This week, we're shifting our focus to Thom Yorke's debut solo record, The Eraser. We talk about the first three tracks on the album in depth, consider the wealth of political commentary in this period of Thom's writing, and discuss how we feel Thom's side projects have influenced Radiohead's output and vice versa. Also, there's that one time Ben saw Atoms for Peace with Beyonce and Jay-Z.

Our friend David Karp returns this week to help us wrap up our longest series on Radiohead's longest album. Plus: the end of the tour, Ed's impending solo record, and what's been discovered on those AMSP deluxe edition studio tapes. Look back in two weeks for our first foray into The Eraser!

Why so green and lonely? There's a new episode of The Daily Mail waiting for you! This week, Anne gets to talk about her favorite and least favorite Radiohead songs in the space of one episode, while Ben patiently listens to her long-winded analysis of the former and makes a valiant effort to convince her that the latter is actually a good song. The result: our longest episode yet! Also notable this week: our take on the long-awaited, newly released AMSP b-side, Ill Wind.

An extra special episode of The Daily Mail this week! Friend of the podcast David Karp joins us for our discussion on the second quarter of Hail to the Thief. We argue about the tracklist even more, reflect on the songs from this record we've heard live, and consider which music video best defines the aesthetic of the era - maybe it's the long lost Paul Thomas Anderson-directed video for We Suck Young Blood and we don't even know it! Get ready for an extra long episode and let this ragtag bunch of backdrifters take you away.

We've arrived at Radiohead's sixth and longest album this week, and it's bound to be a contentious series of episodes, as Anne and Ben have some pretty differing opinions on this record. Aside from debating over the tracklist and which songs are the best, we talk a bit about how Hail to the Thief captured a specific period in western politics, share more formative experiences in our respective introductions to Radiohead's music, and reveal how Sail to the Moon may hold the key to understanding one of Thom's more esoteric lyrical motifs. Next week: Probably more arguing.
