Nick gives a full recap from the 2022 Grammy’s. Unlike years past, most of the multi-award winning artists have been throughly discussed on the show this past year, including Jon Batiste, Foo Fighters, Silk Sonic, and Chris Stapleton. We dig into some of the nominated (and overlooked) songs and artists, and land on ‘tepid optimistic’ about the whole thing going forward.

Song: Silk Sonic - “Leave the Door Open”

Jay picks up where Nick left off, proudly reporting that this year’s “Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella” Grammy Award went to The 8-Bit Big Band for a rendition of “Meta Knight’s Revenge” from Kirby Superstar. That can only mean one thing, it’s time for another round of 8Bit: Remakes. Jay presents different artists from different genres with the shared purpose of remaking their favorite music from video games.

Songs:

The 8-Bit Big Band Featuring Button Masher - “Meta Knight's Revenge (From ‘Kirby Superstar’)”

Dr. Pez - “The soundtrack of Ocarina of Time, but it’s a prog rock concept album’

The 8-Bit Big Band - “Want You Gone (From ‘Portal 2’)”

Overclocked Remix - “Triggernometry”

Finally, in celebration of their latest release, Greg brings us another round of “Heavy Rotation” featuring Meshuggah! An extreme metal band from Sweden formed in 1987, these guys have been consistent in their sound and process for nearly 35 years. They’ve decided to embrace that unfaltering track record, calling their latest album “Immutable” & Greg is so smitten! We dive in and discuss the many merits of Meshuggah.

Songs:

Meshuggah - “Broken Cog”

Meshuggah - “God He Sees in Mirrors”

Meshuggah - “New Millenium Cyanide Christ”

Meshuggah - “Ligature Marks”
