The photo used for this week's album is just one I fished out of a box while cleaning someone's house, showing a grandpa looking forlornly at an astronaut. Unlike the ones with VK our cat or Chris with the cookies, there is no inside joke here, it just is what it is-- and the same can be said of tonight's album Celebration Rock. It is Celebration Rock.Also rock for celebration: Katy Perry is banned from the Khive, Joyce Manor is unanimously voted to rule, and Chris' ladder, where art thou? Hosted on Acast.

Steven and Ian begin today's episode by reflecting on what they were doing when you-know-what happened last weekend. Then they get down to what is truly the biggest news of the week: The release of EA College Football 25, which is about to become Ian's obsession (6:00). After Video Game-cast, they pivot to a discussion about Tenacious D and their implosion over Kyle Gass' Trump comments in Australia (12:00). They also yay-or-nay the comedy-rock trio, from the perspective of another comedy-rock trio.From there, they tackle the return of Japandroids, who will release their first album in seven years, Fate And Alcohol, in October. But can they ever top Celebration Rock (20:01)? Steven also fills Ian on some jam band beef this week between Trey Anastasio and Dead & Company (28:08). In the mailbag, they answer a listener question about whether '90s-style "weird for weirdness' sake" music is still being made, with a tangent about the legacy of Tom Waits (40:35).In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks up the British emo band Los Campesinos! while Steven stumps for the rising country artist Zach Top (53:50).New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

For the 10th anniversary of Japandroids' second album, CELEBRATION ROCK, we take a detailed look at how the record was made. After the unlikely success of their debut album, POST-NOTHING, Japandroids found themselves leaving their hometown of Vancouver to tour the world and play to much larger audiences than they ever dreamed of. The expectations for their second album began to build as the band felt tremendous pressure to deliver a followup record that proved they weren't just a one-hit wonder. In between multiple tours, they would record in two-day sessions with longtime engineer/producer, Jesse Gander. Eventually, they rented a house in Nashville to focus on writing the remaining songs for what would become CELEBRATION ROCK. In this episode, David Prowse describes how he and Brian King pushed themselves to make a record that would far surpass any expectations they ever had for the band. Engineer/producer, Jesse Gander, takes us through his first impression of Japandroids and how he was able to capture their unique punk and classic rock-influenced sound. Additionally, author and music critic, Steven Hyden, offers his perspective on Japandroids' embrace of classic rock mythology and why the record connected with so many people. From Brian's attempt at revitalizing classic rock tropes to the difficulty of recording fireworks to capturing the feeling of being young to the unabashed embrace of the power of rock and roll, we'll hear the stories around how the record came together.

When Japandroids released their sophomore album Celebration Rock in 2012, fans and critics alike weren't expecting such a strong follow-up to their revered debut album, Post-Nothing. Now revisiting Celebration Rock ten years later, Indiecast hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen reflect on the album's legacy and how Japandroids successfully embraced old school rock clichés (29:51).Speaking of veteran indie musicians, Wilco released their new album Cruel Country this week (1:08). It's an album the band essentially recorded live and has quickly become one of Hyden's favorite Wilco projects in the last 10 years. Perhaps the most talked-about song this week was Sky Ferriera's "Don't Forget," (10:15) which marked her second single in nine years. Elsewhere in the episode, Indiecast talk standout movie soundtracks (20:39) and yet another Conor Oberst mishap (15:10).In this week's Recommendation Corner (54:38), Ian spotlights Sweet Pill's new album Where The Heart Is. Steven gives a shout out to Dehd's fourth album Blue Skies, which shows the band's progression to polished songwriting.New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

In this episode the label begins seeing the effects of the internet firsthand, in a time when a favorable review could lift a relatively unknown band out of obscurity literally overnight. We look back on this era with Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin's Phil Dickey, as well as Japandroids drummer David Prowse, who reflects on signing to the label, the band's relentless touring schedule, and their critically acclaimed sophomore album Celebration Rock, one of the label's most successful releases. The label also releases music from notable new signings Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu, and STRFKR. Featuring interviews with Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin's Phil Dickey, Asobi Seksu's Yuki Chikudate, Deerhoof's Greg Saunier, Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart, STRFKR, and Japandroids' David Prowse.

Counting Crows are an essential inclusion to the sensitive nineties male rocker canon, one that is very close to Yasi's heart. Music critic and author Steven Hyden joins Yasi to count the ways they love the Crows and reimagine a context in which they should be reconsidered as good and cool.

In this episode of Across The Margin: The Podcast host Michael Shields converses with acclaimed music critic Steven Hyden. Hyden is the host of the podcast Celebration Rock wherein he converses with rock stars and the country’s biggest music writers about what’s happening in rock n’ roll. Additionally, he hosts the podcast Rivals, about the most fascinating feuds in music history, and he is one of the co-hosts of 36 From The Vault (Osiris Media), an excellent Grateful Dead podcast. He has written several tremendous books focused on rock n’ roll including Your Favorite Band Is Killing Me (2016), about famous rivalries in pop music history, and Twilight of the Gods (2018), exploring the history of classic rock. Hyden is a critic for Uproxx and previously served as staff writer at Grantland and an editor at The A.V. Club. In just a few weeks, Hyden is releasing his latest book entitled This Isn’t Happening, Radiohead’s Kid A and The Beginning of the 21st Century, a book that explores the making and meaning of Radiohead's groundbreaking, controversial, and epoch-defining album, Kid A. In it, Steven digs deep into the songs, history, legacy, and mystique of Kid A, outlining the album's pervasive influence and impact on culture, in time for its 20th anniversary. Deploying a mix of criticism, journalism, and personal memoir, Hyden skillfully revisits this enigmatic and alluring LP and investigates the many ways in which Kid A shaped and foreshadowed our current world. In this episode, Michael and Steven talk about what made Kid A so noteworthy and different than anything Radiohead had released prior. They recount multiple meltdowns by the lead singer of Radiohead, Thom Yorke, that directly contributed to the sound of KId A. They converse upon the unique time period that Kid A was born into, where the internet was a far different place than it is today and there existed a certain atmosphere of uncertainty in the air that can be dramatically heard on the album. They explore the struggles the band had in bringing the album to life, the unique relationship between Kid A and Radiohead’s first hit single “Creep,” and a whole lot more. All in all, what is celebrated in this latest episode is an album that is worthy of the sort of thorough examination Hyden gives it in his enthralling new book.

Steve decided to take the podcast out of hibernation for this special one-off episode on the best albums of the 2010's, with special guest Ian Cohen.

This time we’re joined by Nick of the bands For Everest, Bot Garden, and Hard Pass to talk about some Hard Rock, made by Brian, David, and Gilbert Japandroid. We also talk about baseball… and Mark Ronson because we couldn’t not talk about him unfortunately.

In the week's episode of Celebration Rock we introduce a new game called Fantasy A&R, where we take a classic album and attempt to improve/mutilate it by making our own stupid suggestions, such as adding or subtracting songs, swapping in alternate versions, and other probably ill-advised ideas.  The first album up for discussion is ripe for editing: The Beatles self-titled 1968 double-record, popularly known as "The White Album." This masterpiece turns 50 on Nov. 22, a milestone recently commemorated with a pricey box set. But we're not interested in making "The White Album" even longer. Instead, we've posed the opposite challenge: What would a tight 12-track version of this classic look like? To help me figure this out, I've invited my friend Rob Mitchum to play Fantasy A&R with me. To be clear: We both agree that "The White Album" is better as a sprawling experience, in which weird curveballs like "Wild Honey Pie" sit next to undeniable bangers like "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." However, it's still fun to imagine what a shorter "White Album" would look like, if only because it's our chance to finally wipe "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" out of existence. Or is it? That song is kind of good, isn't it? Let's find out! 

Last month, I did a Celebration Rock episode on my favorite sleeper albums of 2018. This week, I figured that the need to talk about lesser known records is so great that it could sustain a semi-regular series of episodes. So, I called up my friend Jeremy Larson, the reviews editor at Pitchfork, and asked him if there were three albums from the past month that he thought could merit some extra conversation. Fortunately, he came up with three great choices: Low, Yves Tumor, and The Necks. And I had three picks of my own: The Lemon Twigs, Ruston Kelly, and Tomberlin. Between us, we came up with quite a variety of music, from a glam-style rock opera to confessional country to a mind-bending electronic to improvisational jazz. I guarantee you'll find something you love in this episode that you haven't already heard about.

This week, the guys are talking about the way we support artists. Is buying an album on iTunes better than streaming on Spotify, and is there a way that's even better than that? What about going to concerts and buying merch? And how does this relate to tipping at restaurants and coffee shops? As always, Pierce apologizes. Then Sean shouts out a podcast (duh) and Pierce defends his choice for the best non-holiday "holiday" of the year.MUSIC: "Jungleland" - Bruce SpringsteenADDITIONAL MATERIAL: Celebration Rock by 93X (Apple Podcasts) (specific episode shoutout: "20th Century Boss Part 2: 'Born To Run' with Jeff Rosenstock").

As we begin the march toward year-end content, we're talking about Albums of the Year with esteemed guests who have unique takes on that subject. This week, we're joined by Steven Hyden of Uproxx, the Celebration Rock podcast, and the book You're Favorite Band is Killing Me. We talk about big rock records, the runaway hits, and plenty more. 

In 2011, back when I was a writer for The A.V. Club, I invented a game called The Five-Albums Test, in which I listed artists and bands that have at least five consecutive very good-to-great albums. Over the years, readers kept bringing up this column, and I was eventually inspired to write a sequel for UPROXX earlier this year. For this week's podcast, I decided to play the Five-Albums Test game with one of my all-time favorite music critics, Rob Sheffield. I figured someone with Rob's depth of knowledge would have an abundance of opinions on who does and doesn't pass the test. Fortunately, Rob did not disappoint — we wound up talking about everyone from Taylor Swift to Led Zeppelin. It's the nerdiest episode of Celebration Rock yet! Support from: Brooklinen

Uproxx rock critic, Celebration Rock podcast host and author of 'You're Favorite Band is Killing Me', Steven Hyden is one of most erudite and compelling analysts of classic rock mythology. He joins me to talk about one of the elephant albums in the room, 'Led Zeppelin IV'. We talk about why it's easily the best Zeppelin album but rarely chosen as a fan favorite, argue about Zeppelin's influence on subsequent generations of rock bands, lament and analyze the passing of our rock heroes and why Tom Petty's passing was such a shock, are bemused at Stairway to Heaven's prom anthem status and get it why Zeppelin pulled off a style that borders on self-parody and made it magic. My Favorite Album is a podcast on the impact great music has on our lives. Each episode features a guest on their favorite album of all time - why they love it, their history with the album and how it's influenced them. Jeremy Dylan is a filmmaker, journalist and photographer. He directed the the feature music documentary Jim Lauderdale: The King of Broken Hearts (out now!) and the film Benjamin Sniddlegrass and the Cauldron of Penguins. If you've got any feedback or suggestions, drop us a line at myfavoritealbumpodcast@gmail.com.

For this third installment of What's on Bill's DAP? We concentrate on more new music. More hip hop with a few old non-rap tunes thrown in for good measure.

'Coming Around Again' returns this week to discuss the 30th anniversary of Guns N' Roses seminal, diamond-plus-selling Appetite for Destruction debut. Calling in to talk about the album -- and debate the merits of its centerpiece track, "Paradise City" -- is Celebration Rock podcast host and cultural critic Steven Hyden, who also recently did a piece on the album ranking every track on it for UPROXX.

Last week I wrote a column about how I believe that Radiohead's OK Computer is the best album of the last 20 years. One person who did not agree with me is my friend and Celebration Rock podcast producer Derek Madden, a longtime Radiohead fan who's been on board with the band since Pablo Honey. For Madden, OK Computer isn't even the best Radiohead LP — he prefers 2007's In Rainbows. He's not alone in this opinion — numerous people reached out to me on Twitter after my story ran to express similar sentiments. So I invited Derek back on the pod to debate OK Computer vs. In Rainbows. We also talk about whether Kid A has aged well, Derek's experience seeing Radiohead open for Alanis Morissette in 1996, and how we would try to convert a Radiohead skeptic.

The rock world lost one of the best frontmen of the last 30 years this week, so Steve decided to record a special emergency episode to memorialize the great Chris Cornell. Joining him are Celebration Rock producer Derek Madden and critic and poet Hanif Abdurraqib.

Our series on Pearl Jam continues with possibly the most fascinating record in the band's catalogue, "No Code." Released in 1996, "No Code" competed on the charts with a host of poppy alt-rock rip-offs by artists such as Alanis Morissette, Live, Bush, and Matchbox 20. In spite of being a figurehead band of 90s rock, Pearl Jam's popularity receded greatly in this period. But the band drew on the turmoil for "No Code" and produced an album that holds up decades later. Joining Steve is Derek Madden, the producer of Celebration Rock and a long-time radio veteran who's been following Pearl Jam for most of its career.

Celebration Rock makes its triumphant comeback from a long paternity leave with none other than the band that inspired our name. Steven sat down with Brian King of Japandroids at the start of the band's latest tour to discuss its great new album, "Near to the Wild Heart of Life," and the weirdness of touring in Trump's America as an Canadian band. Do we have to quit now that we've achieved singularity? Never!

If you've read an album review, music article or artist interview in print or online in the last fifteen years or so, chances are you've read Steven Hyden's work. Aside from freelancing for Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Slate and more, he's also been a staff writer for both The AV Club and Grantland, and joined UPROXX as their culture critic last summer. He's also host of the Celebration Rock podcast and author of the fantastic 2016 book Your Favorite Band Is Killing Me, which breaks down the history of specific rivalries or beefs within pop music and explains their relation to our daily lives. Today, Steven and I discuss recent price hikes in vinyl, the thrill of riding your bike to and from record stores as a kid, the loneliness of being an author, the seemingly instinctual competitiveness between men, awkward moments with Ian MacKaye and Billy Corgan, and why his four-year-old son loves "Hotel California," but is scared of "Kashmir."

Finally, the show ends with Don chatting about the untapped market of e-sports and Steve talks about Joe Buck's love of Pearl Jam. -Adrian Dater is making his third appearance (00:23:23) on the podcast. Adrian talks about his recent Bleacher Report piece on Jack Eichel. Dater talks about Jack on and off the ice, tries to understand what drives him, and compares his rookie season to Nate McKinnon's. Dater also talks about the All-Star Game, the Kennedy Compound, and buying a misprinted Kiss album. -Steven Hyden is making his third appearance (01:41:57) on the podcast. Hyden joins us to talk about his new podcast, Celebration Rock. Steve and Steven go back and fourth on discovering new music, the 1992 VMA's, and Guns N Roses. Steve (host) complains about the Smashing Pumpkins and Steven (guest) previews his upcoming book featuring rock rivalries like Oasis vs. Blur.

Steven Hyden is no stranger to followers of Milwaukee music—or to followers of this podcast, for that matter. Hyden is the former city editor for A.V. Club Milwaukee, the former music editor for the national A.V. Club, and a former staff writer for the gone-but-not-forgotten Grantland. These days he's living in Minneapolis and hosting an excellent music podcast called Celebration Rock, and preparing for a new writing and editing gig with Uproxx. Oh, and he just released his first book, Your Favorite Band Is Killing Me, which uses famous pop music rivalries to explore bigger themes of identity, growing up, growing old, and Axl Rose threatening to kick Kurt Cobain's ass. Host Matt Wild sat down with Hyden last week in front of a live audience at Cactus Club for Milwaukee Record's inaugural Book Club. They talked about Your Favorite Band Is Killing Me—which includes chapters on everything from Blur vs. Oasis and Prince vs. Michael Jackson to Taylor Swift vs. Kanye West and Roger Waters vs. everyone else in Pink Floyd—pop music in general, Hyden's time in Milwaukee, and a whole lot more.

In this episode, Jake and Sean cover a number of topics, including the Strokes new EP, Car Seat Headrest's excellent new album, "Teens of Denial," and whether Japandroids will ever come out with a follow up to their beloved album "Celebration Rock."

Today we welcome Steven Hyden, a music critic you may know previously from AV Club and Grantland. He also hosts a podcast, called Celebration Rock. Finally, Steven is an author and has a book coming out May 17th called Your Favorite Band is Killing Me, where he explores nineteen music rivalries and what they say about life. Steven is a big fan of punk and independent music and was nice enough to spend an hour with us talking about his life, and giving us a sneak peak into some of the themes in the book.

It's been building for 3 months and now it's finally here, the indie song of the summer! There are several ways to define a song as a great summer song: it can be carefree, sweet, propulsive, lazy, emotional, detached, it can be anything really. The one thing it must have is the collective acknowledgment that “this is the soundtrack to my season; this is what I'm going to remember summer 2012 by" . The following list of songs are what defined summer for many of us and based on the quality of the list it's clearly been a good year for music. So enjoy!  Tracklist: 1. “Five Seconds” -- Twin Shadows, Confess 2. “All of Me” -- Tanlines, Mixed Emotions3. “Fineshrine” -- Purity Ring, Shrines 4. “Express Yourself”  --  Diplo featuring Nicky Da B, Mixtape5. “Super Rich Kids” -- Frank Ocean, Channel Orange6. “Constant Conversations” -- Passion Pit, Gossamer    7. “I Love It” -- Icona Pop, Single8. “Ho Hey” -- The Lumineers, The Lumineers9. “Let's Go” -- Matt & Kim, Lightning    10. “Wildest Moments” -- Jessie Ware, Devotion11. “The House That Heaven Built” - Japandroids, Celebration Rock
