Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Did Radiohead Write The Last Important Song?

Rick Beato's biggest new upload asks a music question, then widens the lens to cars, movies and the look of everyday life. "Did Radiohead Write The Last Important Song?" has passed a million views, with Beato discussing what he sees as disappearing color across modern culture, not just music.

The comments bring that broad argument back to specific sounds. Viewers discuss dynamic range, the piano chords in the episode and Radiohead's richly textured In Rainbows. Others are already proposing a Thom Yorke interview. That's a wish from the audience, not an announced booking.

There was plenty of actual interview company across the seven uploads. Aaron Dessner's "How An Indie Rock Icon Became Pop's Biggest Songwriter" connects his work in The National with collaborations involving Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams and Noah Kahan. Dessner co-produced Swift's folklore and evermore, making him a particularly useful guest for a conversation about the route from indie rock to pop songwriting. A separate Short focuses on writing with Justin Vernon.

Taylor Momsen supplies the week's other substantial thread. A vocal-performance Short drew a large audience before "The Taylor Momsen Interview" arrived, covering The Pretty Reckless frontwoman's songwriting, influences, experiences playing with Soundgarden and AC/DC, and her shared Beatles enthusiasm with Beato. Those two Momsen uploads are now attracting the most daily views on the channel, at almost identical rates.

Beato has a larger subscriber audience than the music-commentary peers listed here, including theneedledrop and Adam Neely. Alongside the fresh interviews, his older Josh Homme guitar-tuning Short remains active: the Queens of the Stone Age clip has reached roughly three million views and continues to draw a substantial daily audience.

What viewers say

Those Radiohead chords played on the piano are so beautiful it sent a chill up my spine. Very rare that a song does this to me anymore.

Dynamic range seems to be a lost art

I agree with your point, but I can’t think of a much more colorful album then In Rainbows by Radiohead. Great video!

Radiohead creates soundscapes. And they are beautiful.

Crazy how Kid A is 26 years old and still sounds more futuristic than anything today.

Rick’s gunning for that Thom Yorke interview 👀

So true. Everything is hyper-processed until "perfection" these days, but really it is the "glitch in the Matrix" that makes music more interesting as a creative object... and more human.
