Steven and Ian begin this week's episode with a correction about Ian's claim about a "last" Bon Iver concert (0:00), and a conversation about the current state of the Indiecast mailbag. There's also a quick Sportscast on the NBA playoffs, and whether the NBA is the most indie-rock league (7:15). In the Fantasy Album Draft update, we look at recent reviews for Bon Iver and Tunde Adebimpe (14:58) and check out the new single from Lana Del Rey (21:43). Then the guys discuss some of the week's news, including Katy Perry's (unexciting) journey to space (26:37) and the recent sorta scandal about Charli XCX shading Green Day over Coachella headliner status (31:20).

In the mailbag, the guys discuss the influence of video games and School Of Rock programs on indie rock (44:04), and yay or nay The Mars Volta (53:11). Finally, in Recommendation Corner, Ian recommends the latest from Kitchen and Steven stumps for Bill Fox (58:11).
