Bowie still rules the chart, but electronic artists like OneOhTrix Point Never, Grimes, Tortoise, Adrian Younge, St. Germain, Caravan Palace and Madison’s own Caustic make good showings this week as we begin to see the very first signs of longer days. Debuts on our top 30 this week include the latest from Freakwater, Mark McGuire, Julien Baker and James Hunter Six. New additions to our Jazz chart come from Renee Rosnes, Dr. Lonnie Smith, and Greg Abate who’s performing in Madison on Feb. 21 at the Brink Lounge.
