20th Century Popcast is a podcast that tries to understand the present by living in the past. Each week hosts Bob and Tim take a sociological look at the pop culture of the '80s and '90s. Its a ruining of their childhood that hopefully explains how they became adults.
COMPACT DISC-USSION: "Not-so OK Computer." (1995) Alright music snobs, here’s your elfin’ Radiohead episode. Apparently they are the avant-garde band of the 1990s, which is an opinion nearly half of this show's hosts can agree with. That leaves a remaining percent that despises both the band and their fans. So come hear if Bob and Tim can find some common ground in this track-by-track discussion of the 1995 album release THE BENDS.
