Owen Pallet
A sudden name change (or at least a reversion) hasn't kept Owen Pallet, a.k.a. Final Fantasy, from topping the !earshot top 200 this month with his latest Heartland. With the weekly charts giving no indication he'll be going anywhere soon, we may as well get used to it. Beach House is sitting at #2 with Teen Dream and Vampire Weekend is a #3. A little further down the chart is You Say Party! We Say Die! showing surprising strength in their fifth straight month in the !earshot top 10.Check out the full top 200 and weekly charts.
Kinnie Starr has been working hard but she doesn't mind. With her fifth album, she is just going to keep at it. It's how you get it done she tells Shelley Gemeson. Punk turned folkie Frank Turner has been working hard too and now that hard work is paying off with some good luck. By Scott Thomson
Starr Power
Kinnie Starr continues to challenge herself as an artist with the release her 5th album A Different Day - and she has a special challenge for all of us. By Shelley Gummeson
Everything is coming up Frank Turner.
