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.
That’s two weeks in the top spot for Australian singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett. Ms. Barnett also occupies the top position in my compact disc player. Three new albums join the chart including the sophomore release from Montreal’s Doldrums. The other two are from folk singer Laura Marling, and yet more folk from The Mountain Goats. Toro Y Moi (pictured) continues a quick climb up the charts, in the three short weeks, the chillwave extraordinaire is all the way up to #5. The indie pop duo of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, simply known as Goldfrapp, released their third studio album Supernature 10 years ago this coming August. Sing-a-long to “Ooh La La.”
