Today, September 24th, marks 30 years since Nirvana released Nevermind. In the last three decades, people have already said pretty much everything there is to say about the Washington grunge outfit, but that isn't going to stop Steve and Ian from reminiscing about one of the biggest rock albums of all time on this week's episode of Indiecast. Nevermind is an album that still holds up after thirty years, despite its oversaturation on rock radio and elsewhere. But it's the rare breakthrough album that might have almost become underrated, overshadowed — at least in the critical sphere — by what came next for Nirvana. The band's third album In Utero is now understood as a response to fame, while their Unplugged performance has evolved into a poignant, dramatic artistic statement that holds a whole new weight in the wake of Cobain's death. In this week's Recommendation Corner, Ian is plugging the latest from One Step Closer, a new signing to esteemed indie label Run For Cover Records. Steve wants everyone to check out Wilds, the new LP from Andy Shauf out today.You can submit questions for Steve and Ian at indiecastmailbag@gmail.com, and make sure to follow us on Instagram and Twitter for all the latest news.

This is one of those retrospectives where we thought we were just going to big up one of the least talked about legends in Hip-Hop.

It's that time again: Steve and Ian are taking questions from listeners. This week's episode of Indiecast kicks off with a recap of last weekend' Pitchfork Festival, before diving into a discussion of bands that started their career in the indie world before eventually growing to a point that their indie cred became nonexistent. Bands like The Black Keys and Kings Of Leon are shining examples of this phenomenon, while bands like LCD Soundsystem, Vampire Weekend, and Arcade Fire retain the coveted indie credentials.Other conversations include the ultimate Indiecast concert that would bridge the gap between Steve and Ian's musical tastes, the discographies of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Metallica, and more.In this week's Recommendation Corner, Steve is vibing with the new single from Orlando duo Tonstartssbandht, which previews their first album in four years. Ian is enjoying a new split release from European emo bands I Feel Fine and You Could Be a Cop.You can submit questions for Steve and Ian at indiecastmailbag@gmail.com, and make sure to follow us on Instagram and Twitter for all the latest news.

Enter Keith GodchauxThe Deadcast opens its 4th season with one of the most unlikely but totally true stories in Grateful Dead history: how Keith & Donna Jean Godchaux approached Jerry Garcia at a bar and announced that Keith was the Dead's new keyboardist, going deep into Godchaux family history.GUESTS: Brian Godchaux, Donna Jean Godchaux MacKay, Greg Anton, Sandy Rothman

Six time Grammy winner Kacey Musgraves returns with her new album Star- Crossed and strives to prove you can't put her in a genre box. Crossing over from country to pop, Kacey walks a fine line on this new album and we are here to breakdown ALL our feelings about this new era. Off the heals of her divorce, Kacey brings us into a space in her mind we have never ventured as she contemplates her own emotions about the fallout. Throughout the episode we analyze her quick album roll out, interesting single choices, and whether we think this country queen is the new pop princess. 

Hi Folks!  For this months bonus episode we listen to the song "S.O.B.".  Released in 2015 on their self titled debut album, "Nathanial Rateliff & the Night Sweats", "S.O.B." is a song that at its core is about drinking one's life away after a break up. Rateliff has also described "S.O.B." as a joke song and said he initially did not intend to record it but after positive audience reception decided too.  "S.O.B." blends vintage R&B with new soul to create a wonderfully vintage sound.  This song will will get your feet tapping and have you singing the chorus out load!  It captures a feeling we can all relate too (even if our best interest is to not to act on it) "Son of a bitch! Give me a drink!".  Thanks for listening!Intro/Outro:Upbeat Forever by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5011-upbeat-foreverLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

This is probably our first retrospective where the artist in question is on the fringe of what is considered "Hip-Hop". But as with all elements of art, it is always worth getting out of our comfort zone now and again. And DJ Shadow is a perfect subject to do so. And his creative narrative isn't too shabby either.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:41)Topic Intro/Ben's Research House - (12:31)Entroducing..... - (28:18) The Private Press - (41:51) The Outsider - (47:08) The Less You Know, The Better - (55:00)The Mountain Will Fall - (1:02:02) Our Pathetic Age - (1:07:25)Lighter Note - (1:20:37) Thanks for listening.

Episode 126: First in Tidbits: ABBA is back!! But how are the new singles? Joe and Kari give their early opinions.In Just a Bit Outside: in honor of Charlie's new program on Charlie's 80's Attic, 80's Deep Dive, Joe and Kari take a listen to some of the songs that charted on the Hot 100 but did not make it to the Top 40. A few familiar names pop up, but some of these artists are being discussed on the show for the very first (and last??) time. Then in Coming Around Again: Tears for Fears and Kim Wilde are not strangers to the upper reaches of the Hot 100, but some of their singles needed a do-over. Did it help???

In honor of the new Cinderella movie, we are jumping back in time to talk about Camila Cabello's Sophmore release "Romance." We dive into how PR stunts and forced storylines impact the way you consume an album and the necessity of them. We debate the dueling sides of this album and which side resonates with us. And don't worry, we have a lot to say about her budding romance with fellow pop singer Shawn Mendes. 

This week, Steve and Ian are getting ready for festival season. Pitchfork Festival is finally here, featuring sets from Dogleg, Oso Oso, and Bartees Strange and marking the tripling of the fest's notorious “token DIY/emo” acts. This year, festival season arrives in the fall, which leads into a question from a listener asking which albums are indicative of the changing of the leaves for our two hosts.This week's episode is centered around Minnesota trio Low, who has been regularly releasing music over the last 30 years or so. Recently, Low's consistent catalogue was starting to feel like they were tapering off, but their thirteenth studio album, Hey What, has them back in the saddle for their best collection of songs in recent memory. Perhaps this is the result of the prominence of the vocals on this album — where the voices were frequently buried amid the glitchy instrumentation on previous efforts, Hey What has the dual vocalists front and center, often cutting through the musical mayhem behind them.In this week's Recommendation Corner, Ian is plugging 2012, the new album from Pittsburgh band Brightside. Meanwhile, Steve wants to bring your attention to the forthcoming album from Irish post-punk band Silverbacks.New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

In the light of Your Old Droog & Mach-Hommy having words with the likes of lyric hub Genius, Ben has been mulling over how protective (or unprotective) artists are with their work. Potentially causing a slippery slope where the extreme is something like a Yasiin Bey putting out an album in a museum for a limited time, never to be heard again after that.In a world where everyone can make a meme out of the "Certified Lover Boy" artwork, can you be an artist AND not want your stuff out there without your say so?TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:20)Topic Intro - (21:31)Lighter Note - (1:03:40)Thanks for listening.

What's your biggest fear as a concertgoer? For Steve, it's having to do a Number 2 at a show — even nice venues with good toilets seem like a terrible place to spend any significant amount of time. This is perhaps the exact thought that went through the head of the person who had an unfortunate bowel movement in the mosh pit at a Turnstile show last week. Will people now feel empowered to do the same at upcoming Turnstile shows, like how Barenaked Ladies got Kraft mac and cheese thrown at them?The meat of this week's episode comes in the form of a discussion about Donda, the oft-discussed, perhaps anticipated new album from Kanye West. The thing about Kanye is that the music media once gave him the benefit of the doubt, and now they don't. Nonetheless, like everything Kanye does these days, Donda has this huge gravitational pull, yet it feels somewhat marooned from what's actually happening at large, with a narrative set almost entirely on planet Kanye. There'ss callbacks to some Yeezus and 808s-style electronic music, a lot of Jesus (the curses are bleeped out!), but rather than create trends, it turns away from them. Donda just sucks all the air out of the room.In this week's Recommendation Corner, Ian is plugging Jail Socks, who just released the new album Coming Down while Steve wants to spread the good word about Other You, the latest LP from indie guitar god Steve Gunn.You can submit questions for Steve and Ian at indiecastmailbag@gmail.com, and make sure to follow us on Instagram and Twitter for all the latest news.

Hi Folks!  For this months full episode we listen to Johnny Cash's 1968 album "At Folsom Prison".  The first in a series of live albums from Cash all recorded in prisons.  "At Folsom Prison" came at a pivotal time in Cash's career as the singer/song writer was trying to turn his career around after several years of limited commercial success. With June Carter, Carl Perkins and the Tennessee Three backing Cash "At Folsom Prison" became a huge success for both Cash and Columbia Records.  This album features the staple versions of songs such as "Folsom Prison Blues", "Cocaine Blues" and "Jackson". While also featuring country standards like "The Wall" and "Green Green Grass of Home".  "At Folsom Prison" shows a different side of Johnny Cash and is not to be missed by fans of Cash's more mainstream work.  Thanks for listening!Intro/Outro Music:Upbeat Forever by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5011-upbeat-foreverLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

During last week's episode, Steve and Ian wondered if the latest album from Lorde, was going to follow a similar trajectory to recent releases from Clairo and Billie Eilish — LPs with rollouts that feel very muted and underwhelming, but the final product ultimately left them feeling pleasantly surprised. Solar Power, however, never manages to spin the narrative and truly deliver, offering a collection of songs that feel bland and difficult to connect with.The new LP from Big Red Machine does not experience the same fate, with Aaron Dessner/Justin Vernon delivering an album that outshines each of their solo output over the last few years. It marks both of the acclaimed indie artists' transition into a world that feels markedly more “pop,” integrating massive names like Taylor Swift to elevate the project.Last but certainly not least is Glow On, the anticipated new album from Baltimore hardcore band Turnstile. Currently in the top 10 at Album of the Year, Glow On is a good example of how more bands should be making melodic hard rock records. Melodic hard rock is one of the most popular genres of all time and so few people make it now! Turnstile once again prove to be a shining example of how exciting rock music can be.In this week's Recommendation Corner, Steve is paying tribute to the life and music of Charlie Watts, the longtime Rolling Stones' drummer who passed away earlier this week. Meanwhile, Ian is plugging Asbestos Weak Hood, the new album from Ohio emo band Narrow/Arrow.You can submit questions for Steve and Ian at indiecastmailbag@gmail.com, and make sure to follow us on Instagram and Twitter for all the latest news.

It is Lorde's triumphant return.... or is it? The once production driven pop star is back with a shockingly stripped back album grappling with the effects of climate change, personal loss, and the downfalls of superstardom. On today's episode, your resident Lorde stans are back to work through the album and the emotions it evokes, from excitement to disappointment.

Episode 124: Kari has a new show on Charlie's 80's Attic called Dare to Be Different. It is a show based on the music from  iconic radio stations WLIR and KROQ (think new wave, punk, and non-mainstream). So in celebration of her new show we are taking a look at songs which fit into that format: songs from Robert Palmer (yes, THAT Robert Palmer), King, and Missing Persons.Next, grab your boarding passes as it's time for Top of The Pops! This is the segment where your hosts take a look at number one hits from Across the Pond. Find out if  Boris Gardiner and Yazz and the Plastic Population were as successful on the Billboard charts.

Hunter, Kelly, and Jim discuss what they think are the best break up songs.

This week's episode has Steve and Ian discussing a band that wouldn't have fallen into the show's purview on their last record. But the new record from San Francisco black metal heavyweights Deafheaven doesn't sound very much like black metal at all. Instead, Infinite Granite is a genuine departure, a straight-up shoegaze record that starts the band on a completely new path.Where singer George Clark previously leveled up the intensity with his harsh vocals from previous records, Infinite Granite has him focused on melodic vocals, while the rest of the band is focused on shimmering expansive instrumentals. Plus, it's all doused in layers of reverb very reminiscent of modern shoegaze bands like DIIV and Nothing.In this week's Recommendation Corner, Ian is is shouting out Portland shoegaze-dream-pop-college-rock hybrid Alien Boy, whose new album Don't Know What I Am just dropped. Meanwhile, Steve is highlighting Trace Mountains, whose forthcoming album House Of Confusion is due in October.You can submit questions for Steve and Ian at indiecastmailbag@gmail.com, and make sure to follow us on Instagram and Twitter for all the latest news.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hi Folks!  For this bonus episode we listen to Elton John's song 'I'm Still Standing'.  Released in 1983 on his album 'Too Low for Zero' this song has had somewhat of a resurgence in recent years thanks to Illumination Entertainment's 2016 film 'Sing'.  We discuss how this is more then just a break up song and how we could all use a reminder sometimes that we, indeed, will still be standing!  Of course we discuss the epic music video and Elton John's run in with none other then Duran Duran!?!  Thanks for listening!Intro/Outro Music:Upbeat Forever by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5011-upbeat-foreverLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Episode 123: Time to close out our look at the Village Voice Pazz and Jop Polls, this time with 1988 and 1989. Sonic Youth and Tracy Chapman were some of the big winners in 1988. Do you remember hearing "Fast Car" for the first time? But like, really heard it? 1989 winners include Neil Young, with a song that Joe is absolutely FEELING. Next, in Just a Bit Outside, two iconic rock acts barely hit the Hot 100 in 1980 with a couple of songs that don't get much play in this day and age. Were they underrated?? You be the judge. 

It's been a big week in the indie rock world, from the return of Big Thief to updated Covid policies across the live music ecosystem. Steve and Ian cover both of these topics in the opening minutes of the latest episode of Indiecast.The meat of this week's episode comes in the form of a discussion of new albums from The Killers and Bleachers. The Killers are back with Pressure Machine, the band's seventh LP that comes almost exactly a year after their last full-length effort, Imploding The Mirage, and finds the band exploring new sonic territory that is markedly more downbeat and introspective. Bleachers, on the other hand, found Jack Antonoff trying to go as Springsteen as possible on his third solo release, Take The Sadness Out Of Saturday Night. How do both of these albums stack up in their respective catalogues?In this week's Recommendation Corner, Ian is plugging the new LP from emo greats A Great Big Pile Of Leaves, while Steve wants to shout out the forthcoming LP from Baltimore experimental hardcore outfit Turnstile.

This weeks guest is Catt McCreary Raised in Atlanta, Catt McCreary delivers a fresh, sasstress identity to the pop world as a multi-instrumentalist with a hard-hitting voice, saucy lyrics, and sugarbop beats. Her iridescent style can only be explained as a kaleidoscopic blend of pop, hip-hop, and soul. She has positive outlook on the industry, I'm sure we could all learn a thing or two. Being completely independent at the moment, Catt has a good view on what it takes to be a successful artist.Join us as Catt tells us her perspective the music industry

On today's episode we dive deep into the band formed by one of the most influential people in music, Jack Antonoff's band Bleachers. We are joined by resident bleachers Stan Betsy to gain insight into what being a bleachers fan is all about including concert chaos and meaningful fan encounters. After we dive into the lyrical depth of this album and contemplate our own perspectives on the life questions discussed in throughout the songs. If there is one thing we can confidently conclude, it is that this Bleacher's album is the best icebreaker to lead to a meaningful and enlightening conversation.

Episode 122: There's no doubt that Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul and Jody Watley ruled the 2nd half of the 80's, but whose hits hold up the best?? Joe and Kari are ranking the Top 40 hits of these R&B/Dance queens to find out who reigns supreme. Don't be Cold Hearted or Nasty, tune in today, Friends!!Then it's Who's Holding Phil Now? Yes, Phil Collins was quick to help his famous friends in the studio, but he also chipped in when his less-famous friends needed a hand as well. Apologies upfront for Joe's singing voice when he debuts the segment's new theme song.

During last week's episode, Steve and Ian took some time to theorize that Billie Eilish's new album Happier Than Ever might be heading in the direction of a sophomore slump. However, the latest effort from the young superstar is a good example of an LP featuring a handful of underwhelming singles that misrepresent and otherwise pretty good album. Happier Than Ever seems to share some inspiration DNA with the new Clairo album, in that they are both reactions to fame records, but instead of going abrasive they've gone even quieter and more hushed. Overall, the new album from the young superstar feels very much apiece with how people listen to music now, and a thoroughly enjoyable affair.Next up on the docket is Draw Down The Moon, the latest opus from St. Louis band Foxing. It's the follow-up to the band's third studio album Nearer My God — which Ian is quick to name the best album of any genre of the last five years — and goes to places even grander and enveloping. Long story short, it can either take the band to completely new heights in their career… or destroy them entirely. Only time will tell!In this week's Recommendation Corner, Steve is recommending No Medium, the new album from Rosali that was released a few months ago. Ian has been vibing with Lantlôs, the German “post-black metal” band that dropped their latest effort Wildhund last week.

The Deadcast takes a special season-closing look at Jerry Garcia's classic eponymous debut with co-producer Bob Matthews and friends, recorded during the summer of 1971 by Garcia and a small crew of close collaborators including Bill Kreutzmann and Robert Hunter.GUESTS: Bob Matthews, Steve Silberman, Joe Jupille

Steve, on the other hand, is prepared to start revving the engine of the hype train around Let Me Do One More, the new album from Illuminati Hotties that isn't due until October.
