Summary

Steven and Ian begin with a short Sportscast about the tush push surviving a potential ban in the NFL (0:00). Then they talk about about the terrible commercial performance for Arcade Fire's latest album and where the band goes from here (6:43). They also listen to Sleep Token for the first time... and don't hate it (16:09)? After that, they discuss a disastrous turn for Steven's Fantasy Album Draft team, which forced him to pick a new album (25:12). In happier news, they discuss the great new Wednesday single and what it portends for a potential new album (30:30), and then the new Pavement movie and their feelings about the band (37:31).

In Recommendation Corner, Ian goes for the new album by Home Is Where and Steven stumps for the latest from Florry (54:11).

0:14.5	Hello everyone and welcome to Indiecast.
0:16.4	On this show we talk about the biggest indie news of the week.

0:27.8	My name is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host. He voted to keep the tush push.
0:33.4	Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you?
0:35.5	To quote Jada kiss, why is Ratan at an all-time high?
0:38.9	I love reading the ESPN article about this vote that I think it came out like hours after the meeting ended.
0:46.8	And it just gets into like all of the just nasty, bitter, petty discussions between the owners. Like, they're such, they're so

1:44.8	I think, especially if the Eagles win in the Super Bowl, which is very much on the table,
1:42.7	they're going to bring this up again. Because look, the Packers in this case, which I hate it was the Packers. I hate the Tush Push. I've said this before.
