Chicago’s Jason Hirschhorn joins Erik, Sean, Will and Rob to discuss the results of the 2011 Village Voice Pazz & Jop as well as Chuck Klosterman’s divisive response to tUnE-yArD’s claiming of the #1 spot on the poll. This week’s BPMcast is a shorter than usual edition due to a news section lost to a number tech issues, but the crew bravely trudges on to also discuss new albums from Porcelain Raft, The 2 Bears, Leonard Cohen, Alcest, and Symmetry.
