R.I.P. Brian Wilson And Sly Stone
This week's Indiecast opens with a tribute to two fallen icons, Brian Wilson and Sly Stone, who both passed away at the age of 82 within a few days of one another (0:00). The guys discuss their respective legacies and the influence they have on modern music. They also discuss a recent article on dad rock and how the term now is used to describe any form of rock music (13:07). Then they check in on the Fantasy Albums Draft, which Ian is suddenly dominating (21:34). In the mailbag, they answer several emails -- topics include the utility of Metacritic, a yay-or-nay verdict on Title Fight, and "tennis-core" bands (28:07).In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the SoCal emo band First Day Back and Steven recommends the Chicago indie group Beauty Saloon (51:17).New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.
