| 0:13.7 | Hello everyone and welcome to Indycast. |
| 0:15.9 | On this show, we talk about the biggest indie news of the week, review albums, and we hash out trends. |
| 0:21.7 | In this episode, we talk about the new Waxahatchy M.J. Lenderman Supergroup Snowcaps, |
| 0:26.5 | the old outcast Ryan Adams, he's back, and an evergreen topic on this show, the |
| 0:32.3 | 1975. Welcome back. I'm sure our listeners are thrilled. My name is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host. He saw three shows last week. I hope he's still alive. Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you? Well, I'll tell you, the first of those shows that I saw, I had 530 doors, 6.30 start time, and it closed out at 9 o'clock sharp best concert to my life for that reason alone that |
| 0:54.9 | was very lifegiving and the last one i saw which was siga ross with an orchestra that was fully |
| 0:59.9 | seated plus uh i was very energized by seeing uh some of the most unique 50-something post-rock |
| 1:07.0 | t-shirt guys uh yeah i love i the sit down show is is always a blessing. That feels like you have a vacation. If you've got a lot of shows in a week, if you can have a sit-down show.

| 1:45.7 | common costume at that at that show was Bob Ferguson, one battle after another. |
| 1:50.6 | And what I found out in recapping my Halloween weekend to people at work is that not only has no one seen one battle after another, |
| 2:01.0 | they haven't heard of it. |
| 2:02.8 | Right. |
| 2:03.3 | Yeah, I'm trying to get a sense of like how many, |
| 2:06.3 | like how present in the culture is this movie, you know? |
| 2:11.0 | Well, again, it just speaks to the fragmentation of the culture, |
| 2:16.6 | which is something everyone always talks about. |
| 2:18.4 | But I think it's true that there are very few things that are universal. |
