Top 15 is solid. No change. Okkervil River, Cloud Cult, Animal Collective, and TPTBUTET should be much higher. Speaking of TPTBUTET, their new (wrong, actually 03, sorry) album, Dissertation, Honey, is sick. They are walking the same path as The Whole Fantastic World though. Consecutive canceled NYC shows. They had a good reason though.

If there is one thing that you get from this list, it's that you SHOULD own Blocked Numbers. Buy it today. GO!
