Indycast is presented by Uprox's Indy Mix tape.

Hello everyone and welcome to Indycast.

This is our first show, so thank you for joining us.

Every week on this show, we will be talking about the biggest

indie news of the week, reviewing albums, hashing out trends, and occasionally, like in this episode,

talking about some of the most important indie albums of the past. My name is Stephen Hayden,

and I'm joined by my friend and co-host, Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you? I'm doing great, And I think maybe the question that we need to answer before we move any further is that

I feel like we argue about this stuff on Twitter, so why not record it for a change?

I mean...

Exactly.

I think we're giving the people what we want. You know, there's only so much you can

get into like 280. And yeah, I think that this is just an opportunity for us to, you know,

give the people what they want in a more drawn out conversational sort of way. So I'm stoked for it.

Well, actually, and of course, too, like, we're two longtime music critics in a dying industry.

We have to find a way to survive to feed ourselves.

So why not get in on the podcast Gold Rush?

This is what hustle sounds like.

The podcast, millions of dollars will be rainingigning upon us. Watch out Joe Rogan.

That's right. Joe Rogan, he's not dispensing indie rock opinions. This is a market that's wide

open to be exploited by people. So before we get into our episode today, I think we should maybe introduce

ourselves for those who may not know who we are. My name is Stephen Hayden. I've been a music critic

for many years of written for places like the AV Club, Grantland, New York Times Magazine.
