"...host Jim Salveson gets into the granular details of what he considers to be classic indie rock albums ...it does skew very much towards conversations with men – be that the artists themselves or the people in the studio; plus, it begs the eternal question of what we even define as “indie”...Still, there’s plenty to enjoy for those who want to hear, say, Alex Kapranos going long on Franz Ferdinand’s debut, or producer Gordon Raphael talking about the extraordinary experience of making The Strokes’ Is This It."
