Okay... so I've been wanting to do this for awhile. I'm indulging the metaphor that I've got my own radio station since I have started cramming tons of music into an ipod over the past few months. I'm up to over 2,000 songs at this point, and I like having a reason to talk about music, so periodically (maybe weekly if I can get my act together) I'm going to release something I used to compile for my college radio station, the charts. This week the charts are starting out with a pretty simple format... who's getting the most spins, and what are five relatively recent things added into rotation (either ripped from ye olde CD collection or newly discovered). Enjoy!
