The full CIMS Top 200 and weekly commentary is after the jump.

Howdy all!

Since I got Sirius in my car, I bet I have listened to terrestrial radio only a few times and that was to catch Reg’s Coffeehouse locally. I had this big Sirius love fest planned for today but Lefsetz beat me to the punch yesterday. He went on and on about how Sirius understands the sub genres and used one of my favorites, Jam On, as an example. Between the 30 minute songs on that channel and the non-stop alternative party on Left Of Center, I am a happy boy. And, I might add, a more informed boy. I can actually hear the "single" of all of these buzz bands one after the other. And you know what?

I am sure it is selling records. It is great radio and I encourage each and everyone of you to go out and get Sirius. Like you, I get a zillion free CDs a week in the mail. Also like you, I tend to think I am gonna get around to them. All I needed was a filter. Left of Center is now one of those filters for me. PS – I have XM at home and must say that it is way more corporate and the programming is not as good. Still, XM is way better than anything local unless you live in Seattle and can pick up KEXP.

I also just got me a shiny new homepage. This week, a new version of Scott Perry’s New Music Tipsheet launched. Holy shit batman, this is great. At this one site I can find out what new releases are coming up, who is on TV this week, who is touring where, and best of all, what is buzzing on all of the blogs. Today I spent some time watching My Morning Jacket on Letterman with the Boston Pops because the link was on NMT. I got caught up on what the hipsters are droning on about. I got to see an unreal video by blog sweethearts Birdmonster. Anyway, check it out. I think it is the most informative site in our business. Find it at www.newmusictipsheet.com.

Speaking of My Morning Jacket. If you don’t know that I am a huge fan then you have not been paying attention. They just wrapped up a successful run with Pearl Jam which won them tons of new fans. They are playing Bonnaroo this weekend (guess who is going?) and next week they play two shows with the Boston Pops Orchestra at Boston Symphony Hall. Many CIMS guys are proclaiming them the Great American Band or America’s Radiohead. I think they are on the cusp of being an arena band. With terrestrial radio they have been a non-issue. You radio guys need to take Z in there with a box of Q-Tips and clean out some ears. I have attached a rad picture I took of singer Jim James a few weeks ago. He rocks by the way.
