Chart Show 8-26

Massive overall of the chart this week, biggest in many months as we lose HOF
Florence from last week and Michael Franti who was on the verge of being inducted,
Band of Horses, again, The New Pornographers, Lindstrom and Christabelle, Devo &
M.I.A. from #9?!?!
 
Janelle Monae was the highest new entry and Of Montreal just missed the Top 20.
There's huge interest in the show that they are playing together on Sept 23rd at
First Avenue and next week we'll give you a chance to win tickets to that show.
 
Arcade Fire are inducted into the Hall of Fame this week and by popular demand
the next song on the poll is ..."Ready To Start". The album kicks off with a great
1-2 punch and just keeps getting better with multiple listens. Check out what we
Musicheads thought about it on this week's show.

To those confused souls heading to the upcoming Janelle Monae/Of Montreal concert: I'll make you an offer...upon your inevitable arrival in Hell, I personally guarantee you double credit, toward time-off from my otherwise eternal and all-consuming fire, for any and all the minutes of your puny life that you squander at this sorry excuse for a 'musical' performance. As your lead demon, I figure it's the least I can do.

Yours truly,

Satan

p.s. I will make other similarly generous offers in the future.
