HAIM's One More HAIM Tour with Michael Religa

It’s HAIM time on Stage Dives. Aaron is joined by Intermission’s Aisling Murphy and Michael Religa from Indie88 to review HAIM’s May 24 show at RBC Echo Beach.

We took a look at the transformational year of 2013 for both indie and pop and why it’s harder for bands to break into the mainstream.

The 25th Anniversary of OK Computer

Aaron, Jared, and special guest Blake Haarstad have some laughs as they break down Radiohead's seminal work for its 25th birthday sonically, thematically, and historically. They chatted about the idea of overhype, "male manipulator music," if the album is a concept record, if Radiohead count as progressive rock, and what makes them a canonical band. Then they spouted a ton of trivia and research. Listen until the end to hear two millennials argue with a Gen Z on why The Bends is a great album.

Also discussed: rating the basketball scenes in the show (9:28), what eras future seasons of the show could cover (1:05:55) and why fictional Magic Johnson is so good at cunnilingus in the show (1:17:15). Check out our bonus episode where Ian compares NBA players to Succession characters.
