Dad Rock Central
Fall makes me think of middle age. It’s a wonderful, beautiful time of year, but hey, winter is coming, so we need to make the most of it. Musically, that reminds me of the genre dad rock. What is dad rock? Good ‘ole guitar music that’s made now, but sounds just kind of…dad-like. I think Tim Heidecker made fun of it on his recent album In Glendale, and so we’re kicking off the set with him today. Plus, we’ve got new tracks from The Luyas, Chain Wallet, and Fresh Snow! And don’t forget to check out BTR on Facebook and give us a like.
