What Do Year-End Lists Say About The Music Trends Of 2025?

Steven and Ian begin with a quick tangent about the intersection of conservative newspaper columnists and music podcasts, and whether it will ever happen on Indiecast (1:52). They also do a Sportscast on the failing Philadelphia Eagles and Steven's revived hatred of the Chicago Bears (7:53). Then they pivot to a conversation about year-end albums lists, and what they say about the prevailing trends of 2025 (16:48). After that, they check out the just-announced Bonnaroo lineup (39:40) and do a "yay or nay" on Nick Cave (50:00)

In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about LA indie-sleazers The Hellp and Steven stumps for the Australian improv trio The Necks (53:51).
