They called it Kidology cause they couldn't get the rights to throw a Lee Perry track on there or what?

I don’t know the article quoted above but I can guess the relationship on most of these. As far as I can tell all of these are referential to the Kid A / Amnesiac era:
1. Clinic – Monkey on Your BackOpened for Radiohead on the late 90’s. The band were fans of them.
2. Can – ThiefThom is a big fan, song was covered in the tour.
3. Charles Mingus – FreedomIirc Jonny played this on a webcast. Quoted Mingus as an influence for the albums.
4. James Holden – DelaboleNo idea. I’m guessing this is something Thom cited as an influence.
5. Harmonia & Eno – AtmosphereNo idea. Probably a Jonny quote on Treefingers.
6. Ane Brun – How to Disappear CompletelyA cover.
7. Sigur Rós – Svefn-g-englarThey opened for Radiohead or they played together at some point in the early 00’s. I don’t think either band is specially influenced by one another.
8. Lali Puna – Everywhere & AlloverColin was a big fan of the Morr label and Lali Puna.
9. Other Lives – Tamer Animals (Atoms for Peace Remix)A remix by thom.
10. Kelly Lee Owens – Melt!She covered Arpeggi.
11. Slint – WasherNo idea.
12. Rick Simpson – Kid AA cover?
13. Susanne Sundfør – LilithNo idea
14. Olivier Messiaen – OraisonJonny is a big fan and has cited him as the main influence for his solo work and some of Rh’s string arrangements.
15. Luke Abbott – FluxNo idea

Also, make your own damn Radiohead companion, pom.
Hah, thanks, but I guarantee you it'd be tin-eared. Besides, Moka did a good job of explaining the rationale behind most of these picks, which makes this compilation seem a bit less superfluous as a result.

This poll is sadly missing the Autechre/BoC/Skam/Warp influences that led to Kid A.

I think “Freeman, Hardy & Willis Acid” by Squarepusher and Aphex Twin is the track that Thom raved the most about as the future of music in the Kid A era.
I actually want to direct you to my Spotify playlist comprising the songs each band member played during the 5 webcasts that were released over the span of 1999-2007. It’s filled with amazing songs:

Copy- pasting from a thread where I posted 5 years ago, I think the “Radiohead Public Library” released a last year actually contains some of these webcasts nowadays, they used to be very hard to find.... anyhoo:
Radiohead have done 5 webcasts so far. With the exception of the fifth one (In Rainbows) all of these are very hard to find complete online. I haven't had any luck finding them but I've been compiling this information since 2002 from many sources and double-checking the playlists as there were several errors in them There's still two songs in there that are incorrect or don't exists and I'm not sure what they could be (South Bronx and Justin Berkon)Here's a spotify playlist: http://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/6cheK9aNqRcEeqJYc1ooh4Note 1: Some songs are not available on Spotify but I calculate at least 88% of the list is there.Note 2: The setlist for the 4th web cast is still incomplete and it seems like noone on the internet has a recording of it.webcast 1 Dec. 1, 1999The Fall - Wrong Place Right TimeThe Fall - Birmingham School of Business schoolGescom - change (gescom remix)Charlie Mingus - FreedomMiles Davis - Jack JohnsonCaptain Beefheart - Gimme dat harp boyScientist - Cloning processBetty Davis - If I'm In Luck I Might Get Picked UpAutechre - Arch CarrierJohn Williams - abduction of Barry (close encounters of the third kind)Syd Barrett - Golden HairMahalia Jackson & Duke Ellington - Come SundaySquarepusher & afx - Freeman Hardy & Willis AcidIggy Pop - NightclubbingSonic Youth - TunicPrince Buster - Al caponeGabor Szabo - MizrabTalking Heads - This must be the placeCan - PinchSquarepusher - UFO's over LeytonstonePJ Harvey - The RiverGlobal Goon - RockfordNeu!

I should probably update the playlist I’m sure the missing songs are there nowadays.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 30 October 2020 04:14 (three years ago) link
There's still two songs in there that are incorrect or don't exists and I'm not sure what they could be (South Bronx and Justin Berkon)
South Bronx - Hip Hop Til You Drop (???)
This song was apparently known to a Radiohead member only from this bootleg compilation
Justin Berkon - The Juice (????)
Here I think Thom's handwriting must have just been a bit sloppy on the last two letters
― edited for dog profanity (sic), Friday, 30 October 2020 04:42 (three years ago) link
Ah yes forgot to update that one. Someone on reddit commented this back then:
Justin Berkon doesn't exist. I think it could be Justin Berkovi. He has a song called "The Juice" and is a german techno record from 1999 so it makes sense for Thom to play that.The South Bronx one is tricky... not sure what song or artist it's referencing. Discogs might help. It could be the song South Bronx by Boogie Down Productions.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 30 October 2020 04:59 (three years ago) link
That bootleg compilation is interesting and might be the answer. I might have to take some time in the weekend to see if the full webcasts are indeed online in the rh public library to search that one.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 30 October 2020 05:02 (three years ago) link
Ok I see that at least the third webcast “amateur night III” is indeed in there.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 30 October 2020 05:12 (three years ago) link
My first guess was that the BDP track had been on the popular UK "Hip Hop Don't Stop" compilation series, and it had been badly transcribed; when that didn't pan out, I searched Hip Hop Til You Drop on Discogs, so reddit poster otm :)
― edited for dog profanity (sic), Friday, 30 October 2020 05:17 (three years ago) link
Webcast 3, 4 and 5 are indeed available in the Radiohead Public Library and from taking a quick peek it seems that there’s also some songs missing. I think I heard an Aphex Twin track in there (girl boy song I think it was) that is not in the list.
No luck with the first two... I hope they’re hidden somewhere in there so I can actually listen to that “south bronx” song and finally clear what track it actually is.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 30 October 2020 05:23 (three years ago) link
But both you and that reddit poster arrived to the same conclusion so I guess that’s the one.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 30 October 2020 05:24 (three years ago) link
So this one:

Which sounds plausible because it was played after Schooly D which is sort of the same old school vibe.

I mean, I linked the "official" upload, but yeah :)

Its a nice compilation. I can listen to it with no great love of Radiohead.Not sue if I'd heard the original of Freedom by Mingus which is a thing I should have corrected years ago. I had the song covered by a pre Procul Harum Paramounts as @the Mule' on a compilation of their stuff i had in the 90s.& Thief may be a little obscure or is all the released Can of the era seen as on a similar level of availability or accessibility these days .I guess Delay 68 has been around for decades.Have been having this play for the last few days on my 3 changer.

Xpost: lol sorry I hadn’t noticed you had hyperlinked to the video in there, I was on mobile and only saw the discogs link. Getting used to seeing and using myself the sloppier, lazier form of just copying and pasting links instead hiperlinked text.
