CMJ Weekly Top 5
So for those of you that don't know, I'm a DJ of two radio shows at my college. What many of you don't know is that I'm also the music director of the station, meaning that all incoming music must go through and be reviewed by me. I get a ridiculous amount of new CDs every week and every Tuesday I have to report my Top 5 for the week to the College Music Journal (CMJ) and update our station's Top 30.
So basically what I'm going to do is put my Top 5 new albums for each week in this thread. It's mainly to serve as a reference point for myself when companies call, but also to serve as a spot for incoming new music. I'll upload the full album if I feel that something is a mandatory listen.
