Top 30 - 2/9/09

A sweet climb up the charts for one of my favorite albums of the year to date, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart.  Seriously, give it a listen if you read this, and if you like wonderful pop music that shimmers and fuzzes and makes you warm inside.  Start with “Everything with You”.  Animal Collective’s got a chokehold on our consciousness here, it seems.  This week’s adds are great! A new Beirut double EP, local dudes the Vox Jaguars’ first EP (a good one), some jams from Wisconsin’s Gun Outfit, Fol Chen’s synth pop, and Mike Bones, whom Vice Magazine called “Our generation’s answer to Leonard Cohen and Harry Nilsson.”  Big words, Vice, but it’s a sweet album.  Read on.
