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 will be looking at the music and career of Bon Iver. My name is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host, Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you? So I'm just going to be real with our audience. Like, for the foreseeable future, this is where I'm going to talk about billions. I'm on season three. Apparently,

this is great. Yeah, so I'm about 60% of the way there. So sometime maybe in September we'll,

you know, be able to switch subjects. But I bring it up not just because it's just got the best

needle drops in the game. I've really been refamiliarizing myself with some of the classics of

mid-2010s indie rock. There's a scene where they go to a high concept strip club and

Mitzkees, your best American girl is playing. It's amazing. Yes. But, you know, more, I think the

bigger influence is the way that it's kind of gotten me to think about every interaction I have on a

daily basis. It's like a series of convoluted scheming. And so here, just hear me out with this.

So people are you like Paul Giamatti or are you Bobby Ascorrod, and so this is the question I need the audience to answer,

because if you're, uh, if you're a loyal Indycast listener, you remember last week that Steve

kind of floated the idea of which one of us is going to get canceled first. And then this week,

if you follow us on Twitter, which I assume is an Indycast listening, you probably do. I made some remarks about certain songs on Radiohead's Annesiac that I'm not a huge fan of. Oh, yeah. That's right. And so Steve put it out, hey, I'm looking for a new Indycast host, by the way. Ha, ha, ha. We all had a good laugh about it. And so... It might have been a joke.

And then you take those... It's unclear if it's a joke. You take those... I thought so, too. And then I saw today on our outline where we go over, you know, we go over what we're going to talk about. And Steve knows I'm going to be the first person to talk. The first thing you see is, should we talk about Lord's album cover?

And so this is, you play, you, you play in a trap.

You picked the wrong time to play 4D chess with me.

You know, I'm going to take a Brian Coppelman type line here and say, I guess I'm Paul

J. and I'm Bobby Fisher in the Matrix. You know,

just one of these very, very elaborate metaphors they use on this show. So I'm on, I'm on to you.
