Indycast is presented by Uprox's Indie Mix tape.

Hello everyone and welcome to Indycast.

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

We review albums and we hash out trends.

In this episode,

we talk about music festivals dying, the best music year ever, and other topics from our

listeners. My name is Stephen Hayden and I'm joined by my friend and co-host. If he hears banging

in the background, that's just me making a post-punk album. Ian Cohen, Ian, how are you?

Yeah, we're, you know, we're very, we're in our,

like, this heat phase. You know, we've done our populace thing for a long time, but now we're

just going to upend expectations. You know, we're sort of like Christian McCaffrey going to

Germany for surgery. We're in our Berlin era. Yeah, I should just say that the reason I bring

that up is that I'm having a new

furnace and air conditioner unit installed in my house right now, and I'm downstairs. I'm like

maybe 10 feet away from where people are working. So if you hear banging in the background,

it's because of that. I apologize. Hopefully this is not too upsetting

for the Indycast listener. I just have to say, like, as a homeowner, you know, getting a new furnace

and AC unit, one of the most important purchases you have to make, also like one of the most

boring. It's like that very fun thing. And it costs a bundle. It's like a ton of money.

So I know you're still renting, Ian. Do you... No. No. Oh, you bought? Yeah. This is... I've lived in the same place we bought in 20, in late 2020. The only possible time for people like us to... Like, we definitely can't afford the place. if we were, like, buying now, we definitely couldn't afford the place that we live in now.

We just bought it a very good time.

But, yeah, a furnace, oddly enough, not something we need to really be concerned about much here in San Diego.
