Here are our charts for the past week including top 30, world/international, and heavy/metal/hardcore rock. Our #2 record is by Steve Wynn and The Dream Syndicate, who are back with their first full length studio album in nearly 30 years. Living Colour has also returned after a lengthy absence with a savagely rocking, poignant album featuring all the original band members. And Gogol Bordello is playing in Madison this Saturday with Modest Mouse at Breese Stevens, and also have a new record that crosses over our rock and world music programming. Call 608-256-2001 during any of those shows to request some tunes to get you ready for their always-wild live performance!
