Scrapple.tv presents a “trusted panel of elder music critics [spinning] the latest in alt-rock, hip-hop, and beyond!”

Translation: elderly ladies and gentlemen sitting in a diner and giving their opinions on music by Animal Collective and Fuck Buttons, among others. Affix your keyboard sneeze guards now to avoid any unfortunate sprays of soda from your nasal passage.
