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.
Courtney Barnett (pictured) has the #1 album on College Radio this week, replacing Dan Deacon after his album Gliss Riffer spent two weeks in the top spot. New entries to the countdown include the latest efforts from Canadian garage rockers King Khan And BBQ Show, singer-songwriter Waxahatchee, and chillwave extraordinaire Toro Y Moi. After a brief stay in the countdown last November, Alex G returns with his new LP Trick. Courtney Barnett holds down the #1 position in my compact disc player again this week. Playing The Angel, the eleventh studio album from Heritage Act Depeche Mode turns 10 this upcoming fall. Enjoy the track “Precious.”
