The Radiohead DeCal is a class for old and new fans alike to gather, investigate, and discuss all aspects of the band’s history, music, videos, live performances, influences, impact on pop culture, and anything you can think of. It’s definitely one of the most enjoyable, inspiring classes you will ever take ~ you can’t go wrong talking about your favorite band for 2 hours a week!

You will be required to complete 5 short homework assignments (one for each album, due on the first day we discuss an album starting with The Bends) 1 final paper, and regularly attend class. Though participating in class discussions is not part of your final grade, it is the foundation of the class and is MUCH appreciated and enjoyed.

The first class will meet on the first Monday of the semester, January 28th (the Monday before is a holiday before classes start) in 123 WHEELER at 7PM ~ you must attend the first class, regardless of your enrollment status, or you will be dropped.

You have nothing to fear, nothing to doubt ~ welcome to the Radiohead DeCal!

There are 40 spots total for this class: 20 Lower Division, 20 Upper Division, and a waitlist that will be updated weekly.
