Summary

Steven and Ian begin this week's episode with a correction about Ian's claim about a "last" Bon Iver concert (0:00), and a conversation about the current state of the Indiecast mailbag. There's also a quick Sportscast on the NBA playoffs, and whether the NBA is the most indie-rock league (7:15). In the Fantasy Album Draft update, we look at recent reviews for Bon Iver and Tunde Adebimpe (14:58) and check out the new single from Lana Del Rey (21:43). Then the guys discuss some of the week's news, including Katy Perry's (unexciting) journey to space (26:37) and the recent sorta scandal about Charli XCX shading Green Day over Coachella headliner status (31:20).

In the mailbag, the guys discuss the influence of video games and School Of Rock programs on indie rock (44:04), and yay or nay The Mars Volta (53:11). Finally, in Recommendation Corner, Ian recommends the latest from Kitchen and Steven stumps for Bill Fox (58:11).

0:39.4	Ian, how are you?
0:46.4	Look, in my defense at BoniVare's closing out headlining set at Pitchwork Festival 2021,
0:52.3	I was told by a guy who was told by a guy who was a non-founding member of the band Whitney that this was going to be Bon Boney Bear's last show. And, I mean, whatever happened to print the legend, I'm not going to, like, do research to contradict that. That's just a great ending to the Boney Bear story. And not to fact-check you on the air, but that Boney Bear performance was in 2023 at Pitchfork, not 2021. Oh, geez. Yeah, see, so you're just not doing that well here, Ian.
