St. Vincent fends off CHAI and Japanese Breakfast for her fourth week at #1
Annie Clark aka St. Vincent pins down #1 for a fourth week in a row with her sixth LP, Daddy’s Home (Loma Vista/Concord). She ties The Avalanches for the second-longest-running #1 of 2021 and, as we mentioned would be the case last week if she remained on top, joins Arlo Parks and Jeff Tweedy as the only artists to spend 10+ weeks at #1 on the NACC 200. Clark’s lead this week narrowed substantially so next week’s race for the top will be an interesting one for the first time in a few weeks. read more…
Industry Interview with Johnathan Swafford, Aqualamb Records
“…Music had shifted to streaming, and we felt we were living in the age of invisible music. Something was missing. Not everyone had a record player but had books. The idea came up, what if we launched a record label that would put out books for each release? Sort of like extended liner notes, but it was still something a fan could buy and take home with them. We wanted to have the same effect of sitting down listening to the music while staring at a cover as kids.”
June MD of the Month | Jim Manion, WFHB Bloomington
“I joined a group called Community Radio Project, a non-profit formed in 1974 to work towards getting a non-commercial community radio station on the air so the local music scene could be heard on the radio. We had no idea this was happening elsewhere, we just wanted to create an alternative to commercial radio that wasn’t college or public radio. Grassroots independence is what we’ve always strived for.”
Genre MD of the Month | Ellen King-Rodgers, KGLT Bozeman
“I love rhythm, great voices, instrumental layering and simple sounds too. Every country has artists sharing their special talents and I want to share them with the listeners. So, I’m in touch with promoters and labels and have developed great relationships all over the world. The collection was pretty vast at KGLT before I came along 20 years ago and I built on that.”
