Indycast is presented by Uprocks' Indie Mix tape.

Hello everyone and welcome to Indiecast.

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

We review albums and we hash out trends.

In this episode, we review the new

album by The Weekend. My name is Stephen Hayden, and I'm joined by my friend and co-host. He should

have headlined Coachella this year. Ian Cohen. Ian, how are you? I'm not going to lie. I mean,

maybe it's just that, you know, I know Uprocks has some pull and you got that book coming out

that every time that there is a festival, maybe not Coachella, but more like Innings Festival or Tree Fort, like the real I chart ones, I still like reflexively look to see, hey, maybe we're on it this year.

But yeah, invite us to your festival.

Really?

We could be on the bill bill we can outdraw some of

these smaller print indie bands I think we've got some you know clout in the podcast

sphere we really do and I mean on Coachella I think the real I chart test is uh like is

your very real hard working band in smaller font than emo night like can you imagine

being code orange like a band that's like grinding it out for like 10 years in the metal core

realm they get on cocella and like you need like an electron microscope to see them whereas

emo night is like oh yeah like you don't need the you don't need the bifocals to see that. Or like black midi. They're on like the, black midi's about the size of Emo Knight on the poster. Yeah, that's brutal. It just made me think about, like, what if, like, music critics had to be subjected to this, that, like, your byline was as big as your cloud so like someone who's like

really well known has you know the headliner text whereas if you're just grinding it out as a

freelancer making 50 bucks right in record reviews you get like the small type don't knock 50 bucks

for an album review it took me a long time to make that.

We've all been there.
