Summary
You've heard of meatless Mondays, but have you ever heard of meatless Fridays? This week, Indiecast hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen are forgoing the meat of the episode in order to focus on the biggest indie news of the week. That's right — it's all banter to celebrate the last double-digit installment before Indiecast hits 100 episodes. That's partly due to Steven and Ian not being able to get their hands on an advance of Beyoncé's new album, but also because there's simply too much indie news to discuss. In this week's episode, Indiecast talks emo week (2:56), Joni Mitchell's first performance in two decades (23:04), 10 years of Frank Ocean's debut Channel Orange (12:32), and more.
In this week's Recommendation Corner (50:38), Ian gives props to Chat Pile, an Oklahoma City band he hopes gains traction this year. Meanwhile, Steven gives a shout out to the Reigning Sound, a band formed in 2001 by Greg Cartwright who made eight great albums before disbanding.

| 0:00.0 | Indycast is presented by Uprox's Indy Mix tape. |
| 0:12.8 | Hello, everyone, and welcome to Indycast. |
| 0:15.3 | On this show, we talk about the biggest indie news of the week, |
| 0:17.5 | we review albums, and we hash out trends. |
| 0:19.9 | In this episode, we introduce No Meat Friday. We're doing 100% banner today, y'all. My name is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-hosts, an industry sci-op designed to recast the labors of love as pointless drudgery if there isn't an immediate financial reward. Ian Cohen, Ian, how are you? And let's be clear, there is very much an immediate |
| 0:39.5 | financial reward to Indycast. Like, we are totally in the pocket of big Delamitri. Like, every now and again, |
| 0:48.0 | like, Rhino Records. You know, they're like catalogued people reach out to us and talk about |
| 0:54.1 | like some band |
| 0:54.8 | from like the mid-90s that, hey, could you make like a name drop of Fridie Johnson this week? |
| 1:00.0 | We're really hoping to move some units. |
| 1:02.0 | I mean, Jimmy Neko, I think, bought you a beach house at this point. |
| 1:05.8 | After all the hours references in Indycast, yeah, I just want to say, how do you feel right now? Because |
| 1:12.2 | like I said, we're doing no meat Fridays. It's the first time we've ever done this. We have |
| 1:17.0 | no meat in this episode. It's all going to be banter. And I think we're doing that because, |
| 1:22.4 | well, there is a big release out today. It's the Beyonce record, but we didn't get in advance |
| 1:26.6 | of that. So we aren't going to talk about it. We might talk about it next week, even though her indie connections, it's even more tenuous than a lot of the artists we talk about on this show. But, you know, there's a lot of other topics that aren't meatworthy that we want to talk about and we want to get into. So it just seemed like a perfect excuse to go vegetarian this week. That's right. I'm like, you know, as a dietitian, I'm strictly anti-keto, anti-Palio, anti-Akins. But like someday you got to go, sometimes you just got to go to Red Lobster and fill up on the Cheddar Bay biscuits. You know,, that is, that, that's what we're doing here. |
| 2:02.1 | If, like, the thought of going to Outback simply to eat the bread, uh, appeals to you |
| 2:08.4 | because you don't want, like, a 32 ounce, like, Porterhouse, you can't get a 32 |
| 2:12.1 | ounce porterhouse. |
| 2:13.5 | Yeah, this is the episode for you. |
| 2:15.8 | By the way, I like the Red Lobster and Outback Steakhouse references there. |
| 2:20.0 | If we don't score an endorsement based on that, then the people at Uprocks, whoever's |
