Summary

Late last year, Steve and Ian created the Indiecasties, a special, highly sought-after distinction honoring the best, worst, and downright strangest releases of the year. This week, they’re bringing back the segment for a mid-year review to award titles like Most Valuable Album Cycle (MVAC), Memory-Holed Album Of The Year So Far, and Most “Festival Band” Festival Band to the best and brightest of the first six months of 2021.

In this week’s Recommendation Corner, Ian is plugging South Carolina outfit Adjy, whi released The Idyll Opus (I-IV) earlier this week. Steve, on the other hand, is shouting out Summer Of Soul, the new Questlove-directed documentary focused on the Harlem Cultural Festival during the summer of 1969.

0:27.9	is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host, Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you? So if you're
0:33.2	anything like me, one of the first things you do in the morning is check Facebook memories.
0:38.5	This is actually a very useful tool for me at work. It helps generate small talk, which I need
0:43.6	to access throughout the day. And also, you know, how else am I supposed to remember what day
0:48.7	I saw Soldier Boy at the American Apparel in L.A.? Turns out it was June 23rd. But for today, it's important because I look at like the past 10 years of July 1st.
1:01.0	And what I see are Spotify screenshots of Japan droids.
1:05.1	I see one of Pup, Constantine's.

1:20.8	Oh, you're asking me like I know, I don't, but...
1:25.0	You're further north than I am.
1:26.8	I'd imagine this would hit closer to true. I'm practically an honorary Canadian. Well, so July 1st, we're missing it by a day. Okay. But, yeah, shout out to Canadians out there. We have a lot of Canadians who listen to our show. Yeah. Who write in all the time. There's something inherently Canadian about Indycast.
