Another attempt to fit a square peg into a round hole. In this episode we talk about how OK Computer, the highly regarded album by Radiohead, could be reconstructed to fit onto a single sided LP. At our disposal is the entire OK Computer album in addition to the songs recorded in the same time period that were included in singles and the OK Not OK rerelease from a few years ago.
We're not making any statements about the quality of the album - we're just playing a game of basic addition and subtraction. And because this is the internet, you should see this as a great opportunity become infuriated and think about how stupid we are that we left off your favourite song.

Despite arriving in the middle of a red hot streak of hit movies for star Jack Black, the Pick of Destiny was a complete miss and deemed a box office bomb. In this episode of the Blastfrom Castfrom, we try to un-pick the reasons why.
