Cause and Effect presents:

an airbag saved my life: a tribute/deep dive into Radiohead’s OK Computer (1997)

It’s OK Computer, the album whose “Karma Police” followed Aqua’s “Barbie Girl” on the first NOW CD released in the USA. Originally conceived as Radiohead’s first “positive” album (which definitely didn’t happen), Radiohead became one of the biggest bands in the world to this day. Straw from Panoramic traces its humble origins as a band making a deep dive into all kinds of music, to its lasting sonic imprint on music afterward.

And there will be samples, bootlegs, and a lot of nerding out.

no alarms, just surprises.
