This week we talk about waning enthusiasm for the NFL, a Mastodon/Opeth tour and new music from Russian Circles. Also, we debut our new segment highlighting our favorite record producers with an exhaustive look at the career of Terry Date, producer for Deftones, Pantera, Soundgarden and many others. Later, we discuss why Thoryn hates scream vocals, sophomore slumps, great records with terrible cover art and how the parking lot scene was the ruin of the Grateful Dead. Turn on, tune in and drop dead.
