Summary

Steven and Ian open with a discussion of the recent Robbie Williams' biopic Better Man, in which the British singer is portrayed by a CGI monkey (2:09). Shockingly, the movie didn't catch on at the box office. They also do a quick Sportscast on the Eagles beating the Packers (9:24), and an even quicker Politics-cast on the upcoming inauguration (17:03). Then, finally, they get down to talking about music, touching on the new Lucy Dacus album announcement (25:20), the Rilo Kiley reunion (37:58), and the re-release of the classic rock documentary Dig! (48:13).

In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the "nu-blog rock" band Lots Of Hands and Steven stumps for the singer-songwriter Todd Snider (57:42).

0:00.0	Indycast is presented by Uprox's Indie Mix tape.
0:14.0	Hello everyone and welcome to Indiecast.
0:16.0	On the show we talk about the biggest indie news of the week, we view albums, and we hash out trends.
0:20.6	In this episode,
0:21.1	we talk about a new album announcement from Lucy Dacus, the reunion of Riloh Kiley, and the re-release
0:27.9	of the great, great, great rock documentary, dig. My name is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my
0:34.1	friend and co-host. He really liked the CGI monkey Robbie Williams movie.
0:39.0	Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you? So this got me thinking once again about a great The Onion headline
0:45.5	that came out about like a month after 9-11. A Shattered Nation longs to care about stupid bullshit again.
0:52.1	And I mean, you could argue that we are where we are in 2025
0:55.6	because all we care about is stupid bullshit. But with all the, all like the just the moralizing
1:01.3	shit that's happening in the world, this Robbie Williams monkey movie flop's conversation in
1:07.5	2025 is really hitting the spot for me. Like I feel like it's a, it's a real unifying force.
1:14.1	And I also love the fact that we're having, can Robbie Williams break America?
1:20.0	It's like, I heard a podcast with someone writing a book about, you know, Y2K and like how it's predicting the current day.
1:27.3	And they were asking, they were
1:29.2	thinking like maybe we're going to relive 1999 as like a cynical, apolitical time. And I'm glad
1:34.6	that like we are just doing the same conversations back then as we are now just without, you know,
1:40.7	the techno optimism and the booming economy. Well, and it's not exactly the same because in 99, they did not make a movie about Robbie Williams
1:49.2	with a CGI monkey.
1:50.6	I mean, I don't even know if we had CGI in 99.
1:53.5	There were other forms of special effects, but we weren't yet dreaming of the day
