Indycast is presented by Uprox's Indy Mix tape.

Hello everyone and welcome to Indycast.

On this show, we talk about the biggest indie news of the week.

We review albums and we hash out trends.

In this episode, we review new albums

by Always in Bjork and investigate the current number one song in America by Alt R&B

artist Steve Lacey. My name is Stephen Hayden and I'm joined by my friend and co-host. He

celebrated the 10th anniversary of Lunarism by doing 10 extra power lifts at the gym. Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you?

I'm like just desperately looking back at my original review of loanerism to see if I called it

acid rock on steroids or steroid rock on acid. Like just a way to like use like both cliches at

once. It is the, it is the most. Have you ever used that have you used that cliche, by the way? Which one? The, uh, the on drugs. Like, this is something on drugs. Because I, I have done that. I think every critic has probably done that at some point. This is like the Berenstein Bears on acid. Or this is like, uh, Bex O'Dole on crack cocaine.

I feel like everyone has probably done that. I'm going to cop to it. It is one of the top

ten cliches that appear in, uh, not just music writing, but all forms of criticism. Yeah,

sometimes you just got to hit that word count or like, fuck it.

Like, I've been writing this for eight hours.

Like, I'm just going to do this.

And you know what?

Better luck next time trying to come up with an original thought, you know?

Well, it's also the thing of how do you describe something that's like something else, but it's a more extreme

version of it, you know?

In the on drugs thing, it kind of works perfectly for that.

I don't know what else you could do.
