Summary
Did the idea of a "song of the summer" come about organically, or is it just some concept artificially invented by content-starved media companies? Either way, this week's Indiecast episode has hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen debating which artist between Harry Styles, Kate Bush, and Seals & Crofts (really!) can claim the title (9:39).
Since this week's episode is another No Meat Friday edition, Steven and Ian share a number of noteworthy indie music stories from this week. They walk through revelations from a new interview with The 1975's Matty Healy, including his thoughts on cancel culture and how all his friends are comics (18:19). Plus, they share their thoughts about Rage Against The Machine amid their current tour (31:30) and how Weezer's Broadway musical was just canceled due to low ticket sales (41:44).
The Recommendation Corner (56:26) this week has Ian sharing music from Jouska while Steven gives a shout out to Canadian indie rock band Kiwi Jr.

| 0:13.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome to Indycast. |
| 0:15.4 | On this show, we talk about the biggest indie news of the week. |
| 0:18.1 | We review albums and we hash out trends. |
| 0:20.8 | In this episode, we spin some |
| 0:22.4 | ping pong balls and play the banter topic lottery. My name is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my |
| 0:28.4 | friend and co-host. He's joining Guy Fierry on the Rage Against the Machine Tour. Ian Cohen, |
| 0:34.6 | Ian, who are you? Yeah, and we're utilizing all the sovereign power of Flavortown to call for the release of Leonard Peltier and Mumio Abu Jamal. |
| 0:43.4 | But, you know, if we're going to talk about ping pong balls in the Bander Topic Lottery, |
| 0:49.6 | we also have to make a shout out to our basketball fans and make like a Patrick Ewing frozen envelope |
| 0:54.3 | type joke. Oh my god. Yeah. You're dropping some deep breaths here at the top already. |
| 1:00.5 | You're just like you're going from like the rage, you know, pet causes to like some Patrick Ewing, |
| 1:06.8 | NBA lottery references. The people's heads are spinning out there. |
| 1:11.7 | I mean, you're really delivering the goods here at the beginning of this episode. |
| 1:15.8 | It's our darker, more introspective, and insular second hundred episodes. |
| 1:20.7 | That's how we're kicking things off. |
| 1:22.9 | You know, Ian and I have been talking, and we're not going to have any meat in this episode |
| 1:26.7 | because there's no real big album coming out today. There is a Casabian record coming out today. And let me just |
| 1:35.2 | be clear. Like, we're going to just use again this, it's the more insular, it's the darker |
| 1:41.3 | sophomore's 100 albums and also the more contentious one. Like Steve just did not think that Casabian was meatworthy, despite the fact we spent, like, hours on this show talking about bands who will never come up with a jam as good as Clubfoot. Okay, but can you name another Casabian song other than Clubfoot? So if I were to guess what a second, uh, popular |
| 2:02.9 | Casabian song would be called, I'd probably guess Fire and I'd be wrong because that's actually |
| 2:08.1 | the most popular Casabian song. It is called Fire. I'm sure it was on a FIFA soundtrack. Um, I think like |
