Episode 74 – The Bends
from Radiohead Heads Radio Hosted by Kristina Hoffman & Sime Viduka
Thirty years ago Radiohead, desperate and anxious to shed their one-hit wonder label, dropped their second album, the Bends. What is its legacy? What creative seeds were planted? Just how drunk was Thom when they recorded Planet Telex? We explore these questions and more as we delve into what makes the Bends so unique and what people were saying then and now about their sophomore record. We also discuss the producer John Leckie’s illuminating talk about his experience with the boys recording the album. And as always, we dive into quite a hefty newspile with stories about Radiohead’s curious legal filing, Colin having a chat with Rolling Stone, Ed silently protesting AI copyright law, the announcement of Thom’s new album with Mark Pritchard and plenty more.
