Maybe Indie Rock is a bad term. Left Of The Dial Rock is a better term maybe. Maybe this is just a fetish that KEXP has.

But it is curious and universal. Left Of The Dial Rock in earlier years were more obsessed with technology or government which was mainly influenced by New Wave. And vice versa.
