About this episode
On the new episode of 'Indiecast,' Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen reflect on twenty years of Cameron Crowe's 'Almost Famous,' using their background as real-life music critics to examine the accuracy of the central plot (there is literally no way that a publicist would let you spend several weeks on the road with a band for a profile), the depiction of Lester Bangs, and whether Stillwater is actually even a good band at all. Check out Hyden's full essay about the film here . In this week's Recommendation Corner, Steven is spreading the good word about William Tyler's new album ' New Vanitas ,' while Ian is pointing toward ' I'll Figure This Out ,' the latest from Milwaukee's Barely Civil.
