It has happened. It took an army to dethrone Silversun Pickups before they could reach a double-digit stay at the top of The Mixtape. Actually it took a Navy. A French Navy courtesy of Camera Obscura who sit at the top of this week's 'Tape for the first time ever.
Silversun Pickups still have three songs in the top ten, but it doesn't look like "It's Nice To Know You Work Alone" (4) or "Catch and Release" (10) will be following the nine-week number-one run of "Panic Switch." That would be an impressive feat given Grizzly Bear's climb from #6-3 with "Two Weeks," Green Day's ascension from #14-6 with the title track of their latest epic, and Animal Collective's leap from #19-7 with "Summertime Clothes."
Not to mention that two other songs are making serious moves toward the summit. YACHT makes a downright impressive jump from #40-12 with "Psychic City" and Modest Mouse move quite respectably from #34-19 with "Satellite Skin."
It's a good week for husband/wife combos on The Mixtape. Sonic Youth (Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon celebrate 25 years of marriage this year) move from #39-34 with "Sacred Trickster," Kevin and Anita Robinson's Viva Voce climb from #35-26 with "Devotion," and Dan Boeckner (along with wife Alexei Perry) sees 'Tape action in the form of a band that's not Wolf Parade, his day job that's enjoyed much Mixtape success. Boeckner and Perry's Handsome Furs leads the week's new entries at #23 with "Radio Kaliningrad" from their second album, Face Control.
The other new entries appear at the bottom of the 'Tape. The Mars Volta's first single from upcoming album Octahedron, "Since We've Been Wrong," enters at #39 while Free Energy appears on the Mixtape for the first time with "Dream City" at #40.
The inevitable battle between Camera Obscura, Grizzly Bear, Green Day, and Animal Collective for the top spot will make the next few weeks quite interesting. YACHT, Modest Mouse, and Handsome Furs all seem destined for the top ten as well. Let the Summer Games begin!
