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 four week at the top of the College Radio Album Chart for Spoon, good for them! Four new albums join the countdown including the latest from Ty Segall, his album “Manipulator” jumps 36 spots to debut at #2. The New Pornographers join the countdown at #8, while the Montreal based outfit Cold Specks debut at #20. Say hello to your new favorite band, the Los Angeles based quartet Allah-Las (pictured) debut at #10. Their album “Worship The Sun” will be available digitally on September 16, can’t wait! When was the last time you listened to “Hey Man Nice Shot” by Filter. That tune is off the band’s 1995 album “Short Bus.”
