Jay-Z is back, NIN will be, The Weakerthans probably won't +++ We look back at 1996 albums from Beck & Texas is the Reason

We also discuss the Lollapalooza lineup, Smashing Pumpkins being on there, Hoppers, LA indie sleaze fest Just Like Heaven, Trent Reznor's latest Nine Inch Nails update, Roots Picnic & the other 2 big shows Jay-Z just announced, John K Samson and the Weakerthans and how much we miss them, new Death Cab for Cutie, albums out this week like Poison the Well, Ladytron, Avalon Emerson, The Silver (plus a couple of Morbus Chron related death metal albums that also came out this year), and more + this week's music news, new songs & some other stuff.

PLUS: beginning this week, we end the episode with the start of a new series on albums turning 30 this year. To kick things off we talk two 1996 classics: Texas is the Reason's Do You Know Who You Are, and Beck's Odelay.

It's all on this week's episode of BV Weekly.
