#1 Sharon Van Etten | The NACC Charts for February 12, 2019
The battle for #1 continues. The Top 4 of the NACC 200 contains the same albums for a third straight week but with one major change: #1 & #2 trade places. So after getting climbed over a couple weeks ago by Toro Y Moi, and waiting patiently at #2 again last week, Sharon Van Etten rises to the top with her fifth studio album, Remind Me Tomorrow. The Jagjaguwar release is the second-best reviewed album of the year thus-far according to Metacritic. Still waiting in the wings to challenge Van Etten next week are Pedro The Lion (3-3) and Deerhunter (4-4). They’ll all have to face off against a new entry in the #1 battle: Girlpool. read more…

February MD of the Month: Narkis Anthony Garcia III, WIIT Chicago
“WIIT first became a student radio club in 1914, eventually becoming an experimental station in 1919. Being both non-comm and open format, we have an incredibly diverse array of shows with DJs that each individually have full creative control over their own show concepts. Back in the day, Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco even hosted his radio show FNF radio here at WIIT.”

Interview with Peter Hay, Twin Vision
“Non-comm/college radio’s key virtue is that it is still a geographical outpost to support developing artists. Good stations relate to their listener’s community and sensibilities while providing adventurous playlist curation.”
