On this week's Periodical Prattle, Ben and Gio delve into the August 2nd 2008 edition of NME Magazine, beginning our three-part series on Vampire Weekend! The Two Dweebs learn about the UK's take on self-titled album-era Vampire Weekend, relive the 2008 Mercury Prize, talk of a third "heavier" Arctic Monkeys album, and much more! They also go into the Top 10 movies at the box office this weekend (get ready for some hot takes on beloved classics!), and Ben reveals his GOTH SONG. It's a topic near and dear to his heart, to the tune of Moz.
