Flyover State TV's "The Island" - 2000s Indie Rock (w/ Haptic GG)

1 hour 54 minutes

We're doing something a little different today. Since we had to shuffle some things around, we couldn't record an episode so we decided to show you what our livestream “The Island” was like in it's place. Every other week, Nate, Reis, and Brad go back to the island to listen to a new location based playlist with a new genre every week. This episode is a real nostalgia-fest, as Brad tries to create the perfect Indie playlist for close personal friend Haptic GG (Dustin Booher from the Hellogoodbye ep) using 2000s Indie Rock as a template. It's not always exactly Indie... and it's not always rock... but Indie was a pretty loose term in the 2000s and Brad & Dustin reveled in it when it was burgeoning on myspace pages across the nation. Here's what Brad cooked up:

The Killers – Sam's Town

Panic! at the Disco – London Beckoned Songs About Money Written by Machines

Cage the Elephant – Aberdeen

So Long Forgotten – A River Flows in the Desert

mewithoutYou – In a Market Dimly Lit

Hellogoodbye – Homewrecker

The Extraordinaires – Seven Seas

Cloud Cult – The Will of a Volcano

Bright Eyes – Land Locked Blues

Matt & Kim – Northeast

Tegan and Sara

Streetlight Manifesto – A Better Place, A Better Time
