Shoot us a Text.On this last week of the month, we're looking at the state of the automotive M&A market and what dealers can expect for the rest of the year. Plus, we cover how Ford is adopting a new media and press strategy, and look at how In-N-Out cracked the top 10 of Best Large Employers.Show Notes with links:The dealership buy-sell market is expected to stay active in 2025. Normalizing store profits could make buyers more cautious in finalizing transactions, but top-performing stores in desirable markets will still fetch high valuations.Political expectations, including Donald Trump's presidency, along with lower dealership pricing and aging owners looking to sell, are fueling the market.Last week, we reported on Asbury Automotive Group acquiring New England's Herb Chambers Cos. for $1.34 billion in one of the largest deals in recent history.The 2025 Dealer Outlook Survey found that 56% of respondents are not planning to buy or sell this year, while 19% plan to buy, and 4.4% plan to sell.Automotive News tracked at least 349 buy-sell transactions in 2024, down from 382 transactions in 2021, a peak year.“I'm definitely still getting as many offerings to look at as I've gotten the past two years,” said Randy Hoffman, COO of Ed Morse Automotive Group,Ford is shaking up its media strategy by replacing its traditional press center with "Ford From the Road", a new platform designed to cater to the growing influence of content creators over mainstream media.The "From the Road" channel prioritizes videos, photos, and articles—some created by Ford, others sourced from digital creators and influencers.Traditional press releases remain available but are now tucked away in a separate tab, signaling a major shift away from legacy media formats.A Pew Research Center study found that 21% of U.S. adults regularly consume news from influencers—jumping to 37% among adults under 30.Ian Cohen, Ford's head of creative and content, explains: “We're entering this era of [consumers] building [their] own niche content and channel ecosystems.”This comes as the Trump administration is opening the White House briefing room to influencers and podcasters, with thousands of applicants to the “new media” seats.In-N-Out Burger has been named one of America's Best Large Employers, ranking No. 8 on Forbes' annual list, ahead of corporate giants like Apple and NASA. The ranking is based on employee surveys evaluating workplace satisfaction, compensation, and company culture.In-N-Out's strong workplace culture continues to set it apart in the fast-food industry.The company is also making big moves geographically, consolidating its California HQ in Baldwin Park and expanding to Tennessee, where it will open 30+ locations.Top 10 are Notre Dame, Trader Joes, Houston Methodist, NVIDIA, Navy Federal Credit Union, Google, Microsoft, In-N-Out, Delta, Raymond James FinancialAutomotive in the top 100: 86 - Bridgestone, 71 - Toyota, 86 - Holman Enterprises.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Melbourne is off to another NRL Grand Final after a resounding win over the Roosters. It's been another masterful performance from Supercoach Craig Bellamy who told ABC Sport's Ian Cohen that with the amount of change on their roster in the past few years he wasn't expecting a minor Premiership and Grand Final from this playing group. He also gave his thoughts on the sin-binning and potential charge of Nelson Asofa-Solomona as well as an injury update on Nick Meaney and Jahrome Hughes.

There's one game standing between either the Melbourne Storm or the Sydney Roosters and the Grand Final. The Storm will be feeling refreshed after a week off while the Roosters will be hoping momentum will carry them through. Join Andrew Moore, Ryan Hoffman and Ian Cohen for the call.

Today's episode begins with a quick Sportscast in which Steven mourns the defeat of his surprisingly good Green Bay Packers and pays tribute to the lovable Detroit Lions (3:49). He and Ian also compare Detroit and San Francisco as music cities — it's Bob Seger vs. Huey Lewis time! Then they do a quick update of the winter Fantasy Albums Draft, as it is a big day for Steven's team with new releases by The Smile and Katy Kirby. (11:25) Then they break down The Smile's Wall Of Eyes, which sounds like a Radiohead album that's 90 percent as good.Next comes Steven's most anticipated part of the episode — it's an Ian Cohen pop quiz where Steven lists off 10 albums and asks Ian if he reviewed them for Pitchfork (25:45). This is taking "Remember Some Guys" to a whole new level. Then the guys address the discourse around Alex G's recent signing to RCA Records and whether he has the potential to become "Boygenius big." (40:38) In the mailbag, a listener asks about the recent commercial featuring a Das Racist oldie and an "explanation" of Hozier's success (48:25).In Recommendation Corner (1:00:31), Ian talks up the latest from the British band Courting and Steven reiterates Ian's recent rave for Glass Beach.New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

This week we welcome back to the pod beloved music writer and host of some other indie rock podcast, Ian Cohen, to discuss all the stuff we've been disappointed in this year. It's called being honest and balanced.

We all know that the Internets watch you and use what they see to haunt you with doo-dads and tee shirts, but what you may not know is that what you see is just the tip of an evil cyber iceberg (nothing against those endangered geological entities). Lokker CEO Ian Cohen fills us in on just how bad it is “out there.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this week's episode, the guys sit down with writer and co-host of Indiecast, Ian Cohen, to talk about Sufjan Stevens best album. Micajah says Age of Adz, Rob says Illinois. Who will win? The listener.

At the start of this week's episode, Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen try to come to terms with the fact that Ed Sheeran doesn't think music critics are necessary. Ultimately, they concede that the man has a point — after all, if music critics had any power, Ed Sheeran would not be a hugely successful pop star (:26).In the banter segment, they talk about the upcoming tour by Smashing Pumpkins, Interpol and Stone Temple Pilots, which is like Pavement's "Range Life" come to life (7:02). They also talk about the new album by The Hold Steady, The Price Of Progress (14:17).In the mailbag, a reader asks for their favorite sophomore albums. Can they interest you in a little record called Nevermind? How about The Bends? Actually, the letter writer stumps for Weekend In The City, because it is now Indiecast law that Bloc Party is mentioned in every episode (20:44). Finally, the meat of the episode reviews two big spring indie releases by Lana Del Rey (32:20) and Boygenius (44:11).In Recommendation Corner (56:23), Ian talks about the American Football side project Lies, while Steve raves about the Irish folk (with a post-rock twist) band Lankum.New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

This is an indie rock podcast, which needs to be reiterated because of episodes like this one. In this episode, Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen discuss some very un-indie rock topics.For instance, they go deep on Rolling Stone's recent article about the current state of Live, the '90s grunge band famous for songs like "Lightning Crashes" and "I Alone." Why are they talking about Live in 2023? Because things are bananas in Live-world at the moment! You have con men, QAnon conspiracy theorists, the AVN Awards, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.Then they talked about Skrillex, who is back with two new albums, and the rise of early 2010s nostalgia (15:20). Oh, and they also answered a listener question about Incubus (24:07). Again, this is an indie rock podcast!In the "meat" of the episode, they inducted four new albums into the Indiecast Hall Of Fame (32:21) — in this round, they honor LPs released by Sunset Rubdown, The Elected, The Good Life, and The Fresh & Onlys. Finally, in their Recommendation Corner (53:02) segment, they shouted out new records by Philip Selway and Model/Actriz.New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

On this week's Indiecast, Ian Cohen and Steve Hyden try to make sense of the conversation around Rihanna's Super Bowl Halftime performance (7:00), as well as the buzz about U2's upcoming residency in Las Vegas (15:23).In the meat of the episode (28:57), they reviewed two recent releases — the first is This Is Why, the first album in six years from the venerable emo-pop institution Paramore. In recent years, the band's aughts-era music has been an obvious influence on a range of pop and rock acts. But on the new LP, Hayley Williams and co. attempt to pivot away from their traditional sound toward a more post-punk type vibe. Do they pull it off? Let's talk it out.The second album is Desire, I Want To Turn Into You, the latest from singer-songwriter Caroline Polachek. The album already has serious "Album Of The Year" vibes — yes, we're already talking about this stuff in February — so why is it also reminiscent of Oscar bait films or prestige TV?In our Recommendation Corner (52:10) segment, Steve suggests checking out The Future Is Our Past, the new album by the Brian Jonestown Massacre, while Ian talks about the new EP from shoegaze band Crushed, Extra Life.New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

This week on Indiecast, Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen delve into the world of mainstream rock and assess the state of major-label bands waving the flag for guitars in a pop-dominated world.In the "meat" portion of the episode, they review the recent album by the viral Italian band Måneskin (30:28), who make their (mostly) English language debut with Rush! Is this record enjoyably dumb or just plain dumb? They report, you decide! They also talk about the latest LP from White Reaper (44:09), Asking For A Ride, a lovable one-time indie act who made the transition to the big leagues without losing their sense of humor or ability to write a hearty arena-rock hook.In the banter segment (1:40), they talk about the latest news regarding Panic! At The Disco (they're breaking up) and Fall Out Boy (they're putting out a new album). They then transitioned to talking about a happier topic — the 20th anniversary of Zwan's Mary Star Of The Sea, a long lost classic worth revisiting (14:39).New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

Today Mac DeMarco releases an album of instrumentals called Five Easy Hot Dogs. How good is it? Well, it's an instrumental album called Five Easy Hot Dogs — you do the math. At the very least, the record was a good excuse to talk about the career and legacy of one of modern indie's most influential artists (32:47). Steve Hyden is a fan though he considers himself more of a "liker" than a "lover" of his music. Ian Cohen, however, has been a vocal critic. What are Ian's beefs? Was Steve able to talk him into re-considering Mac?The opening banter segment covers two of the biggest indie album announcements of the week — Boygenius' The Record (12:28) and The National's First Two Pages of Frankenstein (:26). What's up with that weird National album cover? Why is the Boygenius album cover already meme-able? Eventually, Steve and Ian also get around to talking about the music.In Recommendation Corner (54:43), Ian stumps for an actual book! It's Status And Culture by W. David Marx, which explains how the titular subjects are shaped and formulated. As for me, I shouted out Mercy by octogenarian musical legend John Cale, which includes cameos by Weyes Blood, Animal Collective, and Sylvan Esso.New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

Introduction: Welcome to Five & Thrive: a weekly podcast highlighting the Southeast's most interesting news, entrepreneurs, and information of the week, all under 5 minutes.  My name is Jon Birdsong and I'm with Atlanta Ventures.  Company Coming Up: The company coming up this week is in the education space and is called Tara Education, which was also one of the companies selected in the most recent TechStars Impact Accelerator. TARA automates the instructional workflows for K-12 teachers and schools in order to save time, improve effectiveness, and prevent teacher burnout. Ian Cohen, a former teacher and Teach for America Alum, is the CEO. They are making tremendous progress on several fronts, mainly product and customers. If you're a leader in education check out TARA to streamline the key instructional workflows that typically hinder teacher support and drive burnout. Question of the Week: Is it better to raise as much money now or segment the raise into two different raises due to the macro-economic environment? We've talked to several companies who are seeking to raise capital, and at some point in the conversation, the idea to raise a smaller amount resulting in less dilution for this round is suggested. It is an interesting thought exercise and very company dependent, however let's say a company wants to raise $2M today at an $8M pre money valuation, diluting the current ownership 20%. What if they only raised $1M, which would produce just over 11% dilution, took 9-12 months to either 1) validate more traction - whether that be on the product side or go to market side while giving time for the macro-market environment to settle into a more steady state where there is less investment hesitation (hopefully). Continuing on the example, if the entrepreneur raises half the amount, goes for a year and executes to their satisfaction and then raises the next round at $19M pre-money valuation, then they've timed their raise well and maximized for less dilution.   The main takeaway for entrepreneurs raising today: raise at the highest valuation possible while still feeling confident the business can double in valuation the next round.  Product of the Week:  The product of the week focuses on financial literacy and is called Money Masters. It is actually headquartered in Geneva but their sales and marketing is out of Atlanta. There are two different markets they approach: one is consumer and another is business to business. Their tagline is to be the Duolingo of Finance. How they are getting the product in front of eyeballs is the good ol'fashioned direct to consumer mobile app as well as white labeling the software for companies and universities to have a customized and specifically branded financial education software for their employees or students. Download MoneyMasters today.    Events of the Week: Our friends at investment firm PS27 in Jacksonville are putting together a female-founder event on March 3rd on all things entrepreneurship and company building. The founder of S'well, Sarah Kauss,  is the headline speaker. If you're a female looking to start a company or have started a company, this will be a value add event to put on your calendar.   Investment of the Week: Resurgens, which we covered a few months ago, who raised over $500M for their most recent fund is quickly putting it to work with an investment into MCIM a Fulcrum Collaborations company. MCIM makes all the data across a large company's enterprise clean, secure, and seamless. If there is a company that has several data centers across numerous locations, MCIM's software collects, organizes, and keeps it all very simple for the large enterprise.     Hiring of the Week: Lastly, two companies hiring this week: first is Intown Golf Club. Expansion is occurring swiftly at Intown Golf Club with Charlotte opening later this Spring and several more on the horizon. They are hiring for a Finance Controller. If you know anyone who loves finance and golf, send them to Intown Golf Club.  Also, Dr. Noze Best, is looking for a growth Marketer lead growth inside the marketing organization. Ideally, someone who has led a startup to $20M and understands growth marketing/channels, and can lead a small marketing team to success in digital, brand, and growth marketing. Annnnd that is five minutes!

The holidays are officially in the rearview mirror and 2023 is in full swing, which means it's time for a new year of fresh music. It's rare for musicians to drop projects so early in January, but Indiecast is looking forward to the year ahead with hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen naming their most anticipated indie albums of 2023 (33:05).To kick off this week's episode, Indiecast discusses the biggest music news of the week. The Coachella lineup dropped (7:15) and M83 gave us some major 2010's nostalgia by announcing their return (18:24). Plus, Big Thief revealed they're inviting teachers and students to attend sound checks on their upcoming tour, which is both earnest and probably pretty boring for middle schoolers (12:53).New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

Now that Indiecast has decided the most annoying music Twitter story and the most 2022 album of 2022, hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen get (a bit) more earnest about their favorite music of the year. This week's Indiecast episode as Steve and Ian name the five albums they think deserved more media attention in 2022 (hint: one of them had an entire Indiecast episode dedicated to it).This week's episode also includes a brief TVcast segment where Steve and Ian share their thoughts on The White Lotus' near-ubiquitous internet takeover (:25) and the state of prestige TV in general. Plus, Indiecast answers a mailbag question about year-end music lists (11:52).New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday. Listen to Episode 119 here and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Last week kicked off the annual year-end Indiecasties, an Indiecast segment where hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen nominate the best, worst, and most memorable music moments of the year. Think of it as indie music's Grammys, but in an audio format and with fewer Machine Gun Kelly appearances. On this week's episode, Steven and Ian reflect on 2022 by diving deeper into this year's releases. Their categories include: The “Angular Guitar” Award for Overused Album Review Adjective of the Year (15:44), the Comeback of the Year (23:44), the Most Memory-Holed Album of 2022 (32:34), the Rookie of the Year (42:28), and, of course, MVP of the year (50:12).Along with continuing the 2022 Indiecasties, Steven and Ian answer some listener mailbag questions (7:59). A question about the Grammys voting process and the alphabet sparks a conspiracy theory.New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

It's that time of the year again: December is here and publications (including Uproxx) have begun rolling out their picks for the best albums of the year. That means it's also time for another annual installment of the Indiecasties, an episode of Indiecast where hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen honor their favorite (and most overrated) albums of the year. This year's categories are: Most annoying Music Writer Twitter story (26:00), “Why Isn't This On Your List” Award: Consensus Album That is Truly Overrated (35:11), The “Hey, I Actually Like The Album!” Award For Artist You Came To Like This Year (42:45), Biggest Disappointment (47:47), and Most 2022 Album of 2022 (55:57).To kick off the episode, Indiecast discusses the most talked-about event in music this week: Spotify Wrapped (:25). While Apple Music users feel particularly excluded, the ethics of Spotify also come into question. It's no secret that Spotify rips off artists but does scolding Spotify users help the cause in the long run?New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

The holidays are here, meaning it's not only time to tune out holiday music in every store but it's also time to chill out, lay on your couch, and binge watch movies. This week on Indiecast, hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen share their recommendations for the best music documentaries to check out (or to put on in the background while decorating your Christmas tree). Plus, they look back on iconic record label The Elephant 6, which was a home for bands like Neutral Milk Hotel and The Olivia Tremor Control.In terms of banter this week, Indiecast talks Twitter's still-uncertain future and how difficult it would be to hash out trends if the platform shut down completely. They also imagine kind of music they'd play if they had a college radio show (hint: it'd be pretty similar to Indiecast).The Recommendation Corner this week has Ian shouting out Drowse's Wane Into It, which is a mix of slowcore-country combined with Mount Eerie. Steven shouts out Weyes Blood's latest album And In The Darkness Hearts Aglow.New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

It's hard to decide which indie album released in 1997 was the best since there are so many great ones to choose from. There's Elliot Smith's Either/Or, Yo La Tengo's I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One, and Built To Spill's Perfect From Now On. But this week on Indiecast, hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen are looking back on 25 years of an album that meant a lot to both of them at the time: Modest Mouse's The Lonesome Crowded West (41:28). They reflect on that era of indie music and decide if Modest Mouse is underrated, overrated, or properly rated at this point.In terms of indie news this week, Indiecast would be remiss if they didn't discuss the Grammy nominations this week (2:51).

A lot's been going on in indie music lately. The 1975's Matty Healy — yes, we're talking about The 1975 again — has been pulling some very strange on stage antics involving raw meat (4:29), Bruce Springsteen dropped a soul covers album (:24), and last weeks' Indiecast prediction about When We Were Young Festival becoming the nostalgia festival blueprint came true with the nu metal-themed Sick New World fest (11:06).

To be considered "prolific" in the music world, an artist usually puts out an album every one or two years. But what about bands who routinely release several albums a year?

The UK rock scene is clearly alive and well since two of this week's buzziest albums come from bands across the pond. On the latest Indiecast episode, hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen share their thoughts on the much-hyped albums from two UK artists: Arctic Monkeys' The Car (28:42) and Dry Cleaning's Stumpwork (40:34).Because it's MLB playoffs this week, Steven and Ian bring back Sportscast with some obligatory baseball banter (:25).

Some bands are sprinters; they release new material with impressive speed. But other bands are more like marathon runners, taking their time with each project. Canadian indie pop group Alvvays are the latter since their new album Blue Rev is their first in five years. In this week's Indiecast, hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen review marathoners Alvvays' latest release (25:27) as well as Björk's mushroom-inspired LP Fossora (36:42).The biggest music news of this week was a pleasantly surprising No. 1 single.

In other news, indie music celebrated the 10th anniversary of a majorly influential album: Tame Impala's Lonerism. While the idea of celebrating album anniversaries is a relatively new phenomenon, it does encourage younger listeners to revisit classic albums in an age when we're constantly introduced to new music (:29).This week's Recommendation Corner (53:11) has Ian urging listeners to check out his recent interview with Will Sheff and his band Okkervil River's new album Nothing Special.

Earlier this year, a major pop culture prediction was made: 2022 is the year indie sleaze returns. Think smudged makeup, disco pants, an odd obsession with cheap beer, and, of course, Meet Me In The Bathroom-era indie rock. So, it's only right that the period's most respectable band, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, are also making their comeback. On this week's Indiecast episode, hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen review the band's comeback album Cool It Down (44:41). Plus, they share their thoughts on Wilco's absolutely massive box set (32:36) and plug Steven's just-released book, Long Road: Pearl Jam And The Soundtrack Of A Generation (20:06).The most talked-about music news story this week was fueled by Pitchfork's massive listicle where they rounded up the 250 best songs of the '90s (1:37).

It's fairly common to see rock artists lean into pop territory these days, but what about pop artists who are turning to punk?

This summer's Indiecast episodes have leaned banter heavy thanks to a slow trickle of review-worthy indie albums. But this week, it seems like every indie band got together to give the people want they want: an all-meat Indiecast episode.

There's something poetic about the fact Built To Spill and The Afghan Whigs dropped an album on the same day. The bands may have been diametrically opposed in the '90s, but because they peaked around the same time and have now become a staple for Gen X indie heads, the two groups oftentimes get put in the same category. On this week's Indiecast episode, hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen put both bands' legacy into perspective while discussing Built To Spill's When The Wind Forgets Your Name (18:39) and The Afghan Whigs' How Do You Burn? (36:57)The biggest music news of this week came from Harry Styles and the absolute chaos that is his new film, Don't Worry Darling (:55). The film's premiere saw cringey interview quotes, Florence Pugh being a wild card, and a (debunked) rumor that Styles spit on his co-star Chris Pine. Plus, a fan mailbag question had Steven and Ian finally addressing which one of them is guilty of having a squeaky chair (7:26).In this week's Recommendation Corner (52:39), Ian endorsed Phoenix band Holy Fawn, whose new album Dimensional Bleed is out today.

If a band has been around for over a decade, they're bound to have at least one polarizing album in their discography. Arctic Monkeys' last album Tranquility Base Hotel And Casino fell into that category, though many fans and critics revered it. On this week's Indiecast episode, hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen revisit Arctic Monkeys' legacy after the band announced their return and upcoming album, The Car (17:54).Of course, there was plenty of controversy in music news this week for Indiecast to unpack. The first came in the form of a Harry Styles cover story in which he was lauded the "new king of pop," a title that instantly outraged Michael Jackson's fans and family (:28).

Capitol Records dropped the recently signed AI artist FN Meka, a virtual "robot rapper" with racist overtones that ignited a greater conversation about ethics in the AI world (25:09).In this week's Recommendation Corner (54:01), Ian gives props to Maryland band Pianos Become The Teeth, whose recent album leans into moody Radiohead influences.

Some bands make fans wait years between albums, and others have been very consistent with rolling out new releases. Early aughts groups Hot Chip and Silversun Pickups fall into the ladder category, dropping a new album like clockwork every two or three years. On this week's Indiecast episode, hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen share their thoughts on Hot Chip's latest LP Freakout/Release (33:56) and Silversun Pickups' new project Physical Thrills (24:53), two albums which rely heavily on synths.The biggest indie news of this week came from a band no one has heard much from in over 15 years: McLusky.

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.

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.

When legendary musicians are inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, they get a classy trophy, a star-studded ceremony, and honors at the official museum. But the Indiecast Hall Of Fame inductees get something even better: bragging rights. On this week's Indiecast episode, hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen induct albums into Indiecast HOF in three categories: '90s, '00s, and 2010s (29:10).The indie news front was fairly quiet this week, other than popular podcasting and TV duo Desus And Mero announcing they're parting ways after what seemed to be tension and animosity (4:47). It now leaves Indiecast as the only pop culture podcasting duo left in the universe. Steven and Ian also share their thoughts about The Wonder Years' new music and dedicated fan base (17:31).In this week's Recommendation Corner (55:53), Ian gives props to Pool Kids, a Florida-based band that sounds like Paramore if Hayley Williams was obsessed with listening to Rush.

It seems a lot of early '00s bands have been rolling out music lately. Recently, we've gotten new material by The Mars Volta, Wilco, and Arcade Fire, but the list truly goes on. Now, Interpol is the latest early aughts icon to release a new project with their seventh studio album The Other Side of Make-Believe. On this week's Indiecast episode, hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen discuss the band's legacy and how their new music compares to their early catalog (33:13).This week also had a few headline-worthy indie news stories. Lana Del Rey went public with her new boyfriend Jack Donoghue, who happens to be in the witch house band SALEM (1:38), prompting the question: "How the hell did those two meet?" Perhaps the most baffling news this week came from the January 6th hearings, where an ex-member of far-right group The Oathkeepers wore a Descendents t-shirt while testifying. Of course, Descendents were quick to distance themselves from the organization (6:57).The Recommendation Corner (50:26) this week has Ian revisiting The Blood Brothers discography while Steven shouts out the new album by Nightlands, the instrumental side project of The War On Drugs' Dave Hartley.New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.

The 1975 are a band that seem to consistently inspire discourse, whether it's from their passionate fan base or in response to lead singer Matty Healy's antics. And since The 1975's new era of music is upon us, Indiecast hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen decide it's time to take a deep dive into the band's discography, including their studio albums and early EPs (25:26).Indiecast also discusses the biggest music news from this week. After giving Kate Bush a major boost, Stranger Things highlighted another '80s artist in their show: Metallica (7:57). Streams of Metallica‘s classic track "Master Of Puppets" have increased significantly following its use in Stranger Things' season four finale, but it still hasn't quite matched the success of "Running Up That Hill." Steven and Ian also talk about the yearly "Song Of The Summer" discussion, which is probably Harry Styles' "As It Was" this year (2:35).In the Recommendation Corner (1:00:51), Ian nods to Ben Quad, an Oklahoma-based emo artist. Steven shouts out Alvvays, who returned this week with the new track "Pharmacist."New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday. Listen to Episode 96 and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Indiecast hosts Steven Hyden and Ian Cohen oftentimes reflect on formative albums from their younger days, but what year definitively had the best music? In this week's episode, Steven and Ian answer listener questions about the greatest year for music (spoiler alert: it's not 2022) (33:24), which albums have impeccable tracklists (Radiohead, we're looking at you) (26:22), and their picks for the dream festival lineup (several pre-2000s artists make the cut) (41:31).Along with answering fan emails, Steven and Ian talked about some of the more ludicrous indie news from this week. Car Seat Headrest's Will Toledo officially came out as a furry in a recent interview, a fact that has been fairly out in the open for some time now. Ariel Pink had one of his first big interviews after being canceled for attending the January 6th D.C. riots, and it was in the Jewish magazine Tablet (8:02). They also shout-out Ian's recent interview with Bartees Strange, whose new album Farm To Table dropped today (19:05).New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday.
