Here’s the weekly Top 20 College Radio Albums from the Radio 200 list published by CMJ (College Media Journal). The reputable rag surveys up to 600 college radio stations of a weekly basis to compute the list.

In addition, here’s my Spicy Six Albums of the week. These are the six albums that can’t find their way out of my six disc changer. The list consists of my Top 5 Albums of the week, and one Heritage Album that’s worth dusting off and giving a listen.

Here’s the lists:
That’s 3 weeks in a row at #1 for Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings, while 6 new albums make their appearance in the Top 20. Some notable big movers include: Dum Dum Girls “Too True” jumping 52 spots all the way to #2, and “Trouble” by Hospitality (pictured) climbing 70 spots to #12. This week also marks the point where we begin to witness the slow and painful death of The Reflekors album “Reflektor.” Looks like they might be surveying quite a few high school radio stations… how else do you explain #16

Shake up on Spicy Radio as Broken Bells debut at #1. Man, I’ve had that track “Leave It Alone” on repeat all week. Don’t worry… Sky is still in there.

Coachella 2014: 77 Bands In 77 Days

J Roddy Walston and The Business

14/02/08 at 7.53pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

*Jun 19 - 00:05*Over the next 11 weeks I’ll dig deep into the 2014 Coachella Music Festival lineup, featuring one band per day. The purpose of this piece is to assist in difficult decisions that inevitably you’ll need to make, as well as, serve as a fun countdown to Coachella Week. Note: All bands appear in a completely random order… Enjoy, and let the countdown begin!

Check out previous days here.

Day 20 = J Roddy Walston and The Business
Performing = Sunday

J Roddy Walston and The Business are a rock ‘n’ roll band that formed in Cleveland, Tennessee in 2002. The quartet is fronted by J Roddy himself, and now make their home in Baltimore, Maryland. The band is known for their energetic live shows (we’ll be the judge of that), and Mr. Walston’s pounding style of piano playing.

The band has released three studio albums and two extended plays over the last twelve years. The group’s most recent album Essential Tremors was released last September, and includes the single “Heavy Bells.”

Studio Albums:
Hail Mega Boys (2007)
J Roddy Walston and The Business (2010)
Essential Tremors (2013)

J Roddy cites Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and T. Rex as their musical influences. Mr. Walston becomes tight when people refer to him as a keyboardist… he adds, I’m a pianist, I play piano!

This has high Noon at the main stage written all over it.

Day 19 = Outkast
Performing = Friday

Outkast are the hip hop duo of Andre Benjamin and Antwan Patton. The two formed the group in 1992 while in high school in Atlanta, Georgia, and are better known as Andre 3000 and Big Boi. The group was formally called Two Shades Deep, personally I think they should have stuck with that.

The two have recently reunited after being on hiatus since 2006. Their first appearance will take place as the headlining act on Day 1. Apparently, Mr. 3000 and Mr. Boi have a difficult time keeping a secret, since they leaked their Coachella appearance two months before the official poster was revealed. Outkast announced that they plan to headline over 40 music festivals in the months to come.

Over their career they have released six studio albums. Their 2004 double LP release Speakerboxxx / The Love Below won the Grammy Award for Album Of The Year. Their critically acclaimed 1994 debut album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik is credited for laying the groundwork for southern hip hop, and is consider a classic by those paid to consider those type of things.

The group’s sixth and final album was used as the soundtrack for the movie Idlewild, a film that the two stars in. I always thought that Idlewild was a fun amusement park in Ligonier, Pennsylvania… who knew?

The group’s musical style is described as a mix of dirty south and g-funk… you’ll have to trust me on that. They’re best known for the tune “Hey Ya!,” a song about shaking a Polaroid picture… so I’m told.

Studio Albums:
Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik (1994)
ATLiens (1996)
Aquemini (1998)
Stankonia (2000)
Speakerboxxx / The Love Below (2LP) (2003)

Coachella 2014: 77 Bands In 77 Days

White Lies

Note: All bands appear in a completely random order… Enjoy, and let the countdown begin!

Day 18 = White Lies
Performing = Saturday

White Lies are an English post-punk band hailing from London. The band was formerly known as the Fear Of Flying prior to starting White Lies in 2007. The trio felt the dark and doomy music that they we’re beginning to write didn’t suit the old band’s Brit-pop style, and that led to the formation of the new act.

The band has released three studio albums… really, three! I completely lost track of these dudes after the release of their solid debut To Lose My Life. I honestly thought they we’re one and done. Upon further review, they dropped the albums Ritual in 2011 and Big TV this past August.

The group cites their major musical influences as Talking Heads and Secret Machines, however, critics have compared their sound to Joy Division, Interpol, and Editors. Frontman Harry McVeigh denies those comparisons saying “We weren’t alive during that period of music, we’ve never really been that into Joy Division, especially not the Editors…or even Interpol really.” I guess he’s right, how could they have ever possibly listened to Joy Division if they weren’t alive in the late seventies….. McVeigh continues, “I don’t think our music sounds a whole lot like those comparisons, I think we’re a lot more euphoric and uplifting.” If you say so Harry.

I can remember being excited to check out the second half of their set on MACCA Day 2009. Anyway, I was catching The Ting Tings in the Sahara of all places. I don’t normally find myself in the Sahara, but the one thing I’ve come to find out through the years is… absolutely nothing goes as scheduled in that tent. The Ting Tings start thirty minutes late and I end up missing White Lies completely. Maybe our paths will cross in 2014.

The band is currently offering the track “Getting Even” from their latest album Big TV as a free download on their website via soundcloud.

Day 17 = Empire Of The Sun
Performing = Saturday

Empire Of The Sun are the collaboration of Luke Steele (The Sleepy Jackson) and Nick Littlemore (Pnau). The electronic music duo formed in Sydney, Australia in 2008. The two have released a pair of studio albums; the award-winning 2008 release Walking On A Dream. and Ice On The Dune which made its arrival in June 2013.

The ectro-glam rockers have been compared to MGMT early in their career, however they cite Phoenix and the Grammy Award winning “Robots” as their inspiration.

Littlemore explains the origin of the band’s name:
“the name comes more from the idea of (and you’ll see this in the ongoing videos) the fact that we’re traveling around the world going to all the places of empires of the civilization where the sun has been a theme of worship. It’s not based on the Ballard novel nor the Spielberg film of the same name.”

Empire Of The Sun refer to their fans as Empyreans.

Day 15 = Poolside
Performing = Sunday

Poolside are the Los Angeles based duo Filip Nikolic and Jeffrey Paradise. The two allegedly invented the sound they call “Daytime Disco” when they formed back in 2010. Their lone LP Pacific Standard Time was released in the summer of 2012, and houses the single “Do You Believe” (watch below). The duo began to receive attention when James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem) began dropping their cover of Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon” in his DJ sets.

The band’s name comes from a pool house they converted into a recording studio, and their desire to DJ high-end daytime pool parties.

Prior to the Poolside project, Mr. Nikolic was known for his work as the bassist in the bands Junior Senior and Ima Robot. Mr. Paradise used to be a San Francisco DJ, and prior to that was a member of the band The Calculators. When Paradise left the band to pursue college, the rest of The Calculators formed the band The Rapture.

You can find a copy of their debut album on their website for five bucks.

I think it’s appropriate on Super Bowl Sunday to showcase a band named Title Fight. Hailing from Kingston, Pennsylvania….. no, not that Kingston, Title Fight are a punk rock band that formed in 2003. The band cites influences from melodic punk rock acts and emo bands, specifically Jawbreaker. Wow, I said emo twice this week.

Title Fight has released two studio albums; 2011’s Shed and 2012’s Floral Green. The band has also released numerous extended plays over the last ten years, including the most recent Spring Songs that dropped in November. Spring Songs lead single “Be A Toy” can be watched below.

The members are all involved in many other side project including the the hardcore band Bad Seeds.
