Summary

This week, Steven and Ian are once again taking questions from listeners. The episode kicks off with a discussion ska, the oft-maligned sect of punk that people tend to joke about, but also have an encyclopedic understanding of its intricacies. After the recent critical reevaluation of nu metal, is ska next in line for a reinvention? Jeff Rosenstock has been proudly waving the flag of ska for years, and the world is finally starting to come around.

There were many thoughtful questions from listeners, guiding Hyden and Cohen’s conversation on the episode and finding the duo discussing their methods for digging into the discography of a newly-discovered artist, the big budget albums they'd like to hear, and the role of Manchester Orchestra in modern indie.

In this week’s Recommendation Corner, Cohen has been enjoying Downtiming, the debut EP from Camp Trash. Instead of new music, Hyden is taking the opportunity to plug his recent interview with The Wrens’ Charles Bissel, who revealed that the band’s long awaited follow up to 2003’s The Meadowlands might finally be released later this year!

0:26.2	and co-host, Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you? You know, I know this isn't a Indycast Hall of Fame episode,
0:32.9	but I do think we need to draw back to, like, last week and make a honorary induction for Doug

0:50.5	like his first moment, maybe even his only moment, he was, you know, essentially

1:20.5	you know, if I were in his position, the flies got you where I want you. I just think of like,

1:31.3	You know, maybe flagpole sita.
