Summary

This summer's Indiecast episodes have leaned banter heavy thanks to a slow trickle of review-worthy indie albums. But this week, it seems like every indie band got together to give the people want they want: an all-meat Indiecast episode. On this week's episode, hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen review four albums: The Mars Volta's self-titled LP (17:43), Death Cab For Cutie's Asphalt Meadows (28:42), Whitney's Spark (40:41), and Young Jesus' Shepherd Head (51:44).

In the Recommendation Corner (1:00:15) this week, Ian gave a shout out to Top Shelf Records. The indie record company announced this week they were royally screwed over by their main distribution company abruptly shutting down, and founder Kevin Duquette said all their inventory is being held in limbo. Ian also urges listeners to check out a new joint project by Philly bands They Are Gutting A Body Of Water and A Country Western. Meanwhile, Steven recommends Daniel Romano, a very prolific Canadian musician who put out eight albums in 2020 alone ranging from folk to punk rock.

0:22.2	by the Mars Volta, Death Cab for Cutie, Whitney, and Young Jesus. My name is Stephen Hayden,
0:27.9	and I'm joined by my friend and co-host. He was the first person to make a Smith's choke after
0:32.2	the queen died. Ian Cohen, Ian, how are you? I think we need to include our outline notes as is and say that there was a point where
0:40.7	you're like, maybe make a joke about the queen dying.
0:43.5	You know, like broken social scene just looked like, looks just like the sun where we
0:47.7	like kind of throw the in progress commentary on there.
0:52.2	I think that's, I think that's like kind of an indication of like what this was like for our American timeline where it's like, yeah, I don't know, I guess we got to say something about this, even though I don't feel a certain type of way about it. I mean, were you personally affected by it? No, one thing I was affected by, though, is to go back to the joke I made in the intro, I did make a
1:14.6	queen is dead joke on that day, but it was early, and it was before the queen actually died.
1:21.4	I think what I said was, if the queen is dead, the Smiths must reunite.
1:26.0	And I got some good engagement from that. But,
1:28.5	you know, it's one of those things where you make a joke early on, and I think I was relatively
1:32.9	early on that. I'm not saying this is the most original concept, but I was early on it. But then by
1:37.6	the end of the day, when there's like a million of those jokes, you almost feel like, oh, should
1:43.2	I delete my joke? Because now I just look like I'm one of, you almost feel like, oh, should I delete my joke?
1:44.5	Because now I just look like I'm one of, you know, the people in the herd, just saying the
1:50.9	same thing over and over again.
1:52.0	I wish that Twitter would have some sort of designation for, like, the first 100 jokes
