Just as I finished work on my recap of day two crisp, slick DJ beats began pouring from the south main stage, adjacent to the press area.

Roll out the red carpet! The Grammys are a farce, so we at Listen In have decided to host our very own music awards show. We'll laugh… we'll cry… we'll take aim at some of the more vulnerable targets available. We'll even hand out a few awards. We're calling it the Blammys.

Continuing with ListenIn's coverage of the best albums of the year, ScooterDMan and I are examining our number four picks. Like yesterday, his response to my selection appears in green after my description of the album.
4. The Weakerthans - Reunion Tour

Canadian indie-rock quartet The Weakerthans are not, like many bands today, an every other year (or every year in some cases) record factory. They take their time crafting their songs, letting life inspire them before putting pen to paper or fingers to strings.

I last saw the Weakerthans five years ago in a tiny, filled-to-overlowing club in Columbus, Ohio. It was a hot late-July night, even hotter inside.
