Summary

Steven and Ian open this week's episode by discussing recent controversies over Snoop Dogg and Nelly performing at Trump inauguration events [0:00].

They also do a quick Sportscast on Ian's team the Eagles being in the NFC Championship game [9:20], and check in on new albums by FKA Twigs and Benjamin Booker that are also on Ian's fantasy team. Then they dig into the music of 2015 -- the highs, the lows, the stuff they remember, the stuff they remember forgetting, and more [19:13].

In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the new album from Mogwai while Steven recommends the latest from British guitarist James Blackshaw.

0:13.4	Hello everyone and welcome to Indycast.
0:15.5	On the show, we talk about the biggest indie news of the week, review albums, and we hash out trends.
0:22.3	In this episode, we talk about the music of 2015. My name is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host. I can't
0:29.1	believe he performed at the Donald Trump Crypto Ball. Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you?
0:35.1	I mean, I can never listen to Air Force ones again.
0:39.7	I can never listen to Tip Drill again.
0:42.8	I can never listen to all my favorite Nelly songs, which, you know, really had a lot

I'm not going to do that. But he basically said, I did it for the crypto.
1:44.6	Like, he's a crypto fan, not a Donald Trump fan, which I don't know if that's better or worse. And then you have Nelly. He performed at the Liberty Ball, which was, I think, after the inauguration. So that's a different thing. That's a different thing. It was two separate events.
