Resident music nerd Ben takes aim at the Grammys, the Hottest 100 and the Today Show, celebrates the long-awaited return of two legendary Mike Patton-fronted bands, cringes at the thought of listening to Bon Iver in the dark, and sings the praises of Dune Rats, Chubby & The Gang, Grace Cummings, The Black Lips, Wolf Parade and Trail of Dead.

Serial gig-attendee Rid also returns to discuss albums, Pitchfork ratings and canceled music festivals.
