dear xanga, i went to the indie pop show last night and i’m wondering if there are any other communities within diy where bands still play diy shows together over decades. maybe within hardcore? but as folks get older it seems like they mostly either stop playing or they become more successful… but with indie pop neither of these things really happen ha. like, can you imagine the egg punks still doing their thing in 2050?? hard to imagine. i mean, maybe, but like hmmmm. as far as the different scenes within diy go, indie pop and hardcore are the most insular, maybe? obviously i’m pretty ignorant of the nuance within hardcore, so maybe i’m thinking too broadly. like, indie pop just fits within diy pop generally. and there is often overlap with other diy music. and maybe insular is the wrong word here cause it has a negative conotation. cohesive, maybe? i don’t know. consistent? whatever it is i think it’s interesting i guess.afterthought: oh wait, anti-folk feels like that too. and like scenes built around record labels. and regional scenes that aren’t genre specific. maybe i just need to sit on this for a bit. but i still think indie pop is an interesting case study.anyway, new radio show time. we’re on kcsb 91.9fm in santa barbara and kcsb.org on saturdays at 11pm for the summer. new day new time same old show.DOWNLOAD RECORDINGsubscribe to the podcast here: http://feeds.feedburner.com/5432fun00:00 (intro by omar)00:20 THICK “Green Eyes” THICK03:27 Jack Lesser Lewis’ Awkward Energy “Forgotten Song” Lvov In The Streets07:50 Sonny & The Sunsets “Ghost Days” Hairdressers From Heaven10:38 Palehound “Aaron” Black Friday14:11 CONDITIONER DISCO GROUP “Over Documented” CDGLP16:56 Matt Tobey “Pin Me Down” Matt Tobey19:54 Drowse “Arrow” Light Mirror22:11 Naps “to give” better to give27:31 Wizard Apprentice “Gloves are Off” Dig A Pit31:27 Foodman “Colosseum” ODOODO34:10 Brutal Poodle “Charlene” Long Time No See37:21 Erik Nervous & The Beta Blockers “Make Up To Break Up” LP40:45 Sports Coach “Cosmic Queries” Sports Spirits42:12 HAUNTED HORSES “Cypress” Severed Circle45:20 Truth Club “Path Render” Not An Exit48:17 Whitney Ballen “pretend bigger things” pretend songs49:53 Giveaway “Noise” LIVE!52:22 Erasers “River of Sorrow” Forecast
