Some reshuffling of the countdown this week, but only one debut song – by one of my favorite band discoveries of the past year – The New Pornographers. They’ve got a new album coming out in early August, and entering the countdown at #9 is the title track and first release, “Twin Cinema.”
Here’s the problem with songs by Fountain of Wayne – I usually really like them the first time I hear them — enough to make Maureen a quick riser to #1 — but their allure fades fairly quickly. Therefore, Maureen drops 3 spots this week and Hwy 5 is back at #1.
Gaining momentum is Shadowland by Youth Group – this anthem-style song is real catchy and it wouldn’t surprise me to see it keep rising in the next couple weeks.
Stay tuned later this week for a spotlight on some indie music discovered via podcast.
