Indycast is presented by Uprocks's Indie Mix tape.

Hello everyone and welcome to Indycast.

On this show, we talk about the biggest indie news of the week.

We review albums and we hash out trends.

In this episode, in honor of the new

NFL season, we conduct our first ever fall albums fantasy draft. Can't wait. My name is

Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host. He's doing most of the work today because

it's my birthday. Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you? You know, the times like these, I wish we did,

I don't know, like a YouTube or something more with a visual element because, you know,

first off, happy birthday. And instead of us giving you a gift, you've blessed us on the timeline

with pictures of some of your favorite rock stars who also turned

the age that you're turning. I don't know if you want to reveal that to the people.

But yeah, yeah, go for it. I like to measure, I like to measure myself in that way. I don't know

if you do this, but you know, I like a lot of, I like a lot of the classic rockers. So, you know,

every year I get older. I'm 46 now. I like to think about, like, what did Bob Dylan look like when he was 46? What did Bruce Springsteen look like? Risky. That's what they're looking like. Springsteen, it was in the middle of Ghost of Tom Jod era. Yeah. And he had like the long, slick back black hair. He had the goatee. He's looking

like a Cormac McCarthy character. Like just, I think it's like actually like one of the

hardest looking Springsteins of all the Springsteen. The number one hardest Springsteen,

of course, is Tunnel of Love. Right. Springsteen, the cover there. It's just like the fucking hardest guy that ever lived.

And then number two, I think, might be Ghost of Tom Jodera.

Dylan, it was in the middle of his late 80s wilderness period.

1987, he was touring with the dead.

He's looking like a homeless person.
