New Albums By Charli XCX And Good Looks + The 20th Anniversary Of The Killers' "Hot Fuss"Description
After a brief Sportscast on the media meltdown over Caitlin Clark’s early stint in the WNBA (0:30 ), Steven and Ian have perhaps the least likely conversation in Indiecast history about Ian going to a Sarah McLachlan concert (!) and seeing a fight almost break out (!!) (7:21 ). They also talk about Steven’s upcoming book event on June 11 at Book Soup in LA that Ian is hosting (19:25 ).
From there, they talk about the new album from Texas band Good Looks, Lived Here For A While, which is one of 2024’s best indie rock records along with being one of the easiest to root for (22:54 ). They also talk about Brat, the new album by Charli XCX, as well as a larger conversation about how “indie pop” became known as “middle class pop” (32:54 ). Finally, they conclude with a discussion of The Killers’ Hot Fuss, which turns 20 this week (42:51 ).
In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks up the emo band Southtowne Lanes while Steven recommends the Indianapolis band Everything, Now! (53:47 ).
