Summary

This week on Indiecast, hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen take a deep dive into the most talked about albums from 2002. Re-examining releases like Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Interpol's Turn On The Bright Lights, Beck's Sea Change, and Rilo Kiley's The Execution Of All Things, Steven and Ian sort the albums into a few different categories: Overrated, underrated, properly rated, and their absolute favorites (30:30).

Along with revisiting music from two decades ago, Steven and Ian discuss all that happened in the music industry during their week-long hiatus. Elon Musk is trying to buy Twitter (10:26), Greta Van Fleet's Josh Kiszka apologized for cultural appropriation (7:17), and Succession's Cousin Greg is apparently starting an indie rock TV series (5:01).

0:35.2	on the massive outpouring of support that you received when you
0:39.3	announced COVID on last Friday. But like also it just kind of revealed to me that aside from,
0:47.0	you know, the actual symptoms of getting COVID, like I live in fear that, you know, my COVID
