Paranoid Android Paranoid Android "Paranoid Android" is a song by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, released as the lead single from their third studio album "OK Computer" (1997) on 26 May 1997. The darkly humorous lyrics were written primarily by singer Thom Yorke following an unpleasant experience in a Los Angeles bar. The song is almost six minutes long and contains four distinct sections. "Paranoid Android" takes its name from Marvin the Paranoid Android of Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series. Released as the lead single from "OK Computer", "Paranoid Android" charted at number three on the UK
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Future The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Future The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Future was a four-part radio series hosted by Douglas Adams. It was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in October 2000, and repeated in April and May 2001, and September 2014. Because the radio series turned out to be Adams's final project for the BBC before his death (a week after the first broadcast of the final episode), all four episodes are still available for download from the Radio 4 website. Extracts from the four programmes are also available for listening within the "Douglas Adams at the BBC" collection.
