The CHART!
My Morning Jacket simply DOMINATES the Grimey's chart this week. Did you catch them last Saturday night at City Hall? Oh my god, they were incredible! I've heard quite a few people already saying it was the show of the year. I'm one of them. We set up a booth and sold MMJ CDs at the show and sell many we did. Almost every single My Morning Jacket album makes the chart this week with the fantastic new "Z" leading the way. Broken Social Scene was our other top seller and would've topped our chart on any regular week. Ryan Adams and Franz Ferdinand were a bit farther back in the pack with Wolf Parade, Metric, and the new one from Fiona Apple close behind. Here's the final tally:
