#366 - Let’s Talk About Radiohead | Tales from the Concert | RIP Columbia House
Greg is out this week, but we’re delighted to welcome back Erik Lenhart to the show. He’s just started his summer vacation and has some concerts that he’ll be attending in the upcoming weeks. Among them, is a Radiohead tribute band called No Surprises. Erik hasn’t gone through a Radiohead phase and needs to catch up before the show. Nick and Jay happily bring him up to speed.
The Outlaws - “Green Grass & High Tides”
Nick and his brother, Alex, caught Queens of the Stone Age & Foo Fighters this week at Nationals Park in Washington DC. It’s Tales from the Concert! Nick recaps the experience.
Song: Foo fighters - “Big me (Live at Nationals Park)”
Given the formative role it played during his high school years, Jay felt it only proper that we talk about Columbia House. The company announced this week that it’s shutting down. Founded in 1955 as The Columbia Record Club, the company landed on a business model in the 80s and 90s that no music-obsessed teenager could refuse. 12 CDs for a penny (plus 6 months where you had to buy a CD and return a monthly postcard to avoid getting billed for an additional ‘selection of the month’).
Song: John R Miller - “Lookin' Over My Shoulder”
