Indycast is presented by Uprocks' Indie Mix tape.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Indycast.

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

We review albums and we hash out trends.

In this episode, we respond to emails written by

you, the Indycast listener. My name is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host,

a man who believes that maybe this year will be better than the last. Ian Cohen, Ian, how are you?

You know, it is year-endless season, so you got to, like, start your introduction off with

in these trying times times or it was brutal

out there ian wasn't it like just something that make just something that acknowledges the fact that

yeah people had difficulties this year and that you know but you know i'm proud of myself in my own

list that i didn't do that i did not do any references to it was a hard year, but this, you know, little Sims record

really got me through it in 2021.

It was the music that brought us together, really, Stephen.

Like, can't you agree with that?

I thought this year was better than last year. I thought 2021 was better than 2020, right? 2020 was like the rock bottom year. Yeah. I mean, yeah. 2020 was like a little bit better, wasn't it? I guess. I mean... I mean, you got Trump. We had Trump in 2020. You know, there were no vaccines in 2020. I mean mean i also bought a house and got married this year

but also yeah yeah but does all that top say oh i don't know like like uh the glass rick the glass beach

remix album i mean like can can anyone really say for sure? It's like, honey,

I know that, you know, our wedding day was one of the best days of my life. But it was not as good

as when I got the promo of the Glass Beach record. I actually think that might have been

2021. Fuck. Okay. Well, my whole interpretation of the year end has been shot to pieces.

We're off to a great start today.
