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 has the #1 album on College Radio for the second week in a row. Four new albums enter the Top 20, two of which debut in the Top 200. The first big debut is from Kingston, Pennsylvania’s pride and joy, Title Fight. The second one comes from Nashville singer-songwriter Natalie Prass. The other two new albums are from the Los Angeles six-piece Dengue Fever and the Liverpool based band All We Are. The trio All We Are (pictured) shouldn’t be confused with the pretend band Are We Them. The Decemberists are still #1 on my Spicy Six countdown, and will be there for quite some time. The band’s latest album What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World is truly the most perfect album. Every song on this 14-track masterpiece is perfection! This summer, Plans, the fifth studio album from Death Cab For Cutie turns 10. Man, I can listen to the tune “Soul Meets Body” everyday of the world.
