I am all about that '90s nostalgia and this week on the show we get into it in a real big way from a couple of albums, one of which is a collection of demos and rarities from the Boston band Helium titled Ends With And . Lead singer Mary Timony oversaw the collection herself, scavenging basements to unearth some of these tracks. It’s been 20 years since Radiohead put out OK Computer , a game-changing album that used technology in the studio to make a record with a morose and challenging message about the influence of technology in our lives. The anniversary is commemorated by way of a re-issue titled OKNOTOK 1997 2017 , and it includes a number of fan-favorite songs that prior to this release only existed in their live sets, including the deceptively pessimistic “ Lift. ” Not even a full table at The Mothership could get give a consistent or definitive pronunciation of the name Chad Vangaalen . Sorry! Left of the Dial airs Friday nights from 9-11 and Saturdays from noon-2 on KRCU.
