Each week I post the Top 20 College Radio Albums courtesy of CMJ (College Media Journal). Below are also 5 discs that I have in heavy rotation and an album that amazingly turns 10 years old in 2015, I call it my Spicy 6.
Sleater-Kinney continues to dominate the College Radio Album Chart, as their latest effort No Cities To Love has now spent four weeks in the top spot. Four new albums join the countdown this week including the latest from JD McPherson and The Districts. The big movers this week are from Jose Gonzalez (pictured), who leaps 57 spots to #8 and Father John Misty, who debuts at #3 with a 29 spot jump. The Decemberists hang on to #2 on College Radio, but continue to be my #1 album. Elevator, the sophomore release from Canadian indie rockers Hot Hot Heat turns 10 years old in April. Please reacquaint yourself with the fun tune “Middle On Nowhere.”
