Mixtape 6/19/09

A new week and a new number one. Animal Collective reach the top of the Mixtape for the second time this year. "Summertime Clothes" follows "My Girls" as the second 'Tape-topper from the album, "Merriweather Post Pavilion."

Right behind Animal Collective, and holding at #2 for second week, is Grizzly Bear's "Two Weeks." Last week's #1, "French Navy" by Camera Obscura slips from #1-4 after a two-week run at the top.

A couple of big moves happen lower down this week. Sonic Youth jumps from #28-13 with "Sacred Trickster" and first-time Mixtapers Deer Tick move from #38-20 in the band's second week on the chart with "Easy," which sounds like a leftover from the Sixties. In a very good way.

A six-pack of new tunes descend upon the 'Tape this week including the first single from the new Wilco album - Wilco the Album - "You Never Know"(32), "You'll Disappear" by New York groove dogs, The Phenomenal Handclap Band (33), and Portland band (aren't they all from Portland these days?) The Nurses enter with their first Mixtape appearance, "Caterpillar Playground" (38).

There are also new entries by Brendan Benson - the singer in the Raconteurs that's not Jack White - with "Feel Like Taking You Home" (37), "Upside Down" by Banjo or Freakout (39) and Ganglians' "Lost Words" (40).


Look for new BLK JKS and possibly more new Wilco on next week's Mixtape. See you next Friday.
