A few panel-related notes to kick off this week’s SubModern Report. First off, at KRQR/Chico, CA the New Music Show is changing over into a nightly feature and hopefully Randall will be staying aboard the panel with a new format for the playlist. I neglected to mention that shortly after launching their specialty show, KTNI/Denver unfortunately flipped formats and is now a Talk station (though they are still online at 1015fmradio.com). But they are off the panel now. And some more unfortunate news, as Ronda Chollock has exited as MD of Triple A WNRN/Charlottesville. You can contact her at chollock.wnrn@gmail.com.

Is…Skyscraper is the #1 album for the second week in a row, as the Interpol side project comes in at #3 on the singles chart with “Games For Days.” Arctic Monkeys land on the album chart with Humbug’s debut at #2, while “Crying Lightning” is #4. The Big Pink’s A Brief History of Love lands at #3t with “Velvet” at #6. Heavy Young Heathens move up to #3t with their radio sampler EP, with the track “Drawn From Memory” in at #12t. The Resistance from Muse moves up to #5t with their awesome new single “Uprising” rising up to #7t. Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson’s surprising collaboration Break Upis at #5t, with the single “Relator” at #7t. The reunited, reconstituted Alice In Chains debut at #9t with the album Black Gives Way To Blue and the single “Check My Brain” at #11. Division Day and Blitzen Trapper can also be found on both charts.

The Temper Trap
was one of last week’s Buzz Bands and they reach #1 this week with “Sweet Disposition.” The rocking newWolfmother single “New Moon Rising” debuts at #2…I just hope it isn’t supposed to be a Twilight reference. “In Case Of Rapture” from As Tall As Lions is at #5. RX Bandits and Saosin are tied at #9 on the singles chart. The Love And Rockets tribute album New Tales To Tell is at #5t this time around, and last week’s other Buzz Band, Datarock, stay at #8 with Red.

Read on for this week’s Buzz Bands,
Florence And The Machine and Plastiscines, as well as up-to-date retail data, a complete list of songs and albums that are available for airplay, and the weekly FMQB SubModern singles and albums charts. Don't forget to send your playlists and add dates in to specialty@fmqb.com.
