Summary
On Indiecast, Steven and Ian try to keep the gap between what we talk about privately in the DM's and what we talk about on the show as narrow as possible. But given all the weird online discourse this week, that just wasn't possible in this episode. Between all the Boygenius gatekeeping and "state of music criticism" chatter, it was a very odd bunch of days online. Oh, and as if things were bad enough: Fall Out Boy released an updated version of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire" covering the years between 1989 and now. The whole ordeal provoked another anti-Fall Out Boy rant from Steven (8:25).
Thankfully, the guys found solace in the mailbag (16:14). Listeners came through with some very good topics: Is it possible to separate your "critic" brain from your "fan" brain? How important are record labels now as arbiters of quality? What makes a good concert T-shirt? Also, the guys "yay or nay" the aughts era indie band Art Brut, which prompted a Fall Out Boy-style rant from Ian.
Finally, in Recommendation Corner (55:48), Ian talks up arty metalheads Loma Prieta while Steven stumps for the mellow Michigan folk-rock band Bonny Doon.

| 0:27.6 | and co-host. He is no longer welcome at Boy Genius Concerts. Ian Cohen, Ian, how are you? |
| 0:33.7 | Yeah, what Steve is alluding to is a very online discourse. One of the many that was |
| 0:40.2 | happening this week. This one particularly about like, uh, boy genius concerts and who's allowed to |
| 0:46.1 | attend or not attend. Um, uh, I'm like very hesitant to even dive into it. But like, I think the one, |

| 1:23.3 | We need, like, a kind of a PTA for how to properly attend Boy Genius shows. |
| 1:29.4 | Well, you're presupposing that this discourse is rooted in sanity, which it is not. |
| 1:35.3 | And I just kind of say, man, you know, like on this show, I think you and I, we tried to narrow the gap between what we talk about in the DMs and texts |
| 1:48.1 | and what we talk about on the show. |
| 1:50.1 | Because I think people, they listen because they want to hear us hash out the trends, |
