Hello everyone, this is Steve, and I regret to inform all of you that there will be no discussion of

indie news or reviewing albums or hashing out trends today because I have COVID.

Ooh, sad news. Yeah, I, as you could probably tell, my voice is pretty shot and my brain is

well beyond shot. I don't really know what I'm saying right now. Hopefully it resembles

coherent sentences, but I feel really sad. I don't like to cancel gigs. Always want to make it to the show,

but, uh, this morning I was staring at our outline and I was like, I cannot form thoughts at all.

So I just told Ian that we'd have to cancel this week's show and plan what we were going to do this week for next week.

And I think it'll be really great then when I can actually have a little bit of intellectual activity in my brain.

But yeah, I just wanted to record this thing quick because I know you all, or at least some of you look forward to seeing a new episode in your podcast feed every Friday morning.

And I'm sad that we don't have a new episode for you all, but trust me, if I had recorded an episode, it would have been very sad because I am very feeble right now.

But I'm going to go lay down after this,

go into a coma for a little bit.

And after that, I promise, next week,

we'll have a brand new show for you all.

It'll be great.

So thanks again for listening and for understanding.

We'll see you next week. You know,
