Hey, with Steven out of town this week, the guys planned a banked episode featuring emails from you, the Indiecast listener. Topics include the growing instances of AI songs showing up under the names of real bands (including Uncle Tupelo) (11:13), the biggest "jaw dropper" moments when listening to albums for the first time (25:05), the best musician biopics (34:34), and the surprisingly decline (maybe?) of phones at concerts (45:46). In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the latest from ambient band Disiniblud and Steven goes for the indie-country act Ryan Davis And The Roadhouse Band (51:58).

Steven and Ian open with a conversation about Steven's upcoming trip to London and whether he'll actually get to see Oasis (1:27). Then they talk about the Fantasy Album Draft and how Clipse did slightly worse than Steven hoped, perhaps because there's "dad rap" fatigue with critics (6:07). They also talk about the new album by Alex G, and how he was able to make his most accessible music without losing his essential Alex G-ness (1950). Then they transition to the new Deftones single, and how the long-running metal act keeps growing in public estimation (34:43). Finally, they conclude with a discussion of Tame Impala's Currents, which turns 10 this week (46:13). In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks up the up emo band Sport and Steven reps for psych-rock veteran Andy Boay (58:29). New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.
