English: Broken Bells performing at Webster Hall, NYC (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
We have new number 1’s on both charts this week. We will start with the number 1 song in Canada (as charted by CBC2), “Holding On For Life”, the newest single from the collaboration Broken Bells. Broken Bells is a group headed up by Danger Mouse and James Mercer of the Shins. The tune is basically a Bee Gee’s redux, very reminiscent of their work during the Saturday Night Fever era.
The CKUA album chart has a new leader as well, Colleen Brown and her new EP, Direction 1: Major Love. Colleen is a Canadian folk/pop musician with 3 albums to her credit. The song I have chosen is called Mountain Man. Interesting tune, but, not in my wheelhouse.
Nice set. I could hear the BeeGees thing you were talking about.
Think I enjoyed Colleen’s song more.
