Indycast is presented by Uprox's Indie Mix tape.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Indiecast 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 talk about new music from Big Thief, Turnstile, and Pulp. My name is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host. He's standing trial for crimes against the new Miley Cyrus album. Ian Cohen, Ian, how are you? You know, it's been a minute since we've made an intern joke, but I really do think we're going to need someone on staff who can,

like keep a spreadsheet of which Pop Stan Armies want to do what to pitchfork.

Like Halsey's the one who wanted to do a 9-11.

Riley Cyrus is the one whose fan base is kind of doing a Maha style.

Like, you know, pitchfork is the

doctor fouchy of medicritic or whatever and that like we need our our license revoked this one's

super interesting i i can understand how you know all the articles and books we've read about how

pop stand armies help people develop identity and community and uh and then

you have people who are treating metacritic as if like it's this powerful force that

determines whether or not myly cyrus gets to record another album if she doesn't go below 70 it's

sort of like the movie speed yeah it's uh it's really weird the the focus on Metacritic, and we're hypocritical here

for making fun of someone for caring about Metacritic, but there was a thing this week. There was a

viral tweet sent out by a Miley Cyrus Stan account. By the way, is there a sadder phrase in the

English language than Miley Cyrus Stan?

I mean, Katie Perry Stan account.

Yeah, that's pretty sad too.

But just going to bat for Miley Cyrus, I guess these people got on board with Hannah Montana,

and then they never got off because nobody grows up anymore.

So you're just the Miley Cyrus Stan, your whole life. they never got off because nobody grows up anymore.
