Savage Beast: Indie Music Podcast

We pick what bands to see at Kilby Block Party this year. We discuss the bassist from Weezer's wife's many amazing adventures. I think I forgot to put in a song somewhere, sorry

Why do we even bother anymore? Listening to music, that is.

Music: Is it only for dumb people? Who should open for Oasis? Joe describes Chappell Roan’s music to Paul. Paul pitches Joe on some new bands. I almost called this one “Werewolf Like Me.”

After analyzing the influences of indie rock act Pouty (who we mistakenly misgeolocated to Philly... they're from Cali) and chatting about some ill-considered arena tours, we get to the matter at hand: recapping our three days at the Kilby Block Party music festival in Salt Lake City. Show reviews of LCD Soundsystem, Joanna Newsom, Courtney Barnett, Vampire Weekend, Guided By Voices, Death Cab / Postal Service (again), Belle & Sebastian, Santigold, and many more.

We predicted SP's new guitarist, but I was too slow putting the episode up. We do a deep dive on rock criticism via Robert Christgau.
