Welcome back to the SubModern Report! I hope that everyone had a great 4th and subsequent weekend. As is usually the case with these holiday weekends, we had a lot of shows taking off or doing throwback programming, causing way fewer spins for charting. You'll see mostly repeat performances from last week as well because there just wasn't a lot of new music (that'll change this coming week). One of those repeat performances was from SPRINTS, whose new single "Descartes" was #1 for a second week. On the album chart though, there were two new #1's - The London Suede's forthcoming Antidepressants and Nilüfer Yanya's brand new Dancing Shoes EP.

The singles chart continues with "Honestly" by White Reaper at #2 and then a three-way tie at #3. That features a track from the aforementioned Nilüfer Yanya, "Kneel", as well as "No Joy" by The Beths and "Classic Love" by Kurt Vile and Luke Roberts. Another three-way tie at #6 has a track from the other #1 album of the week, "Trance State" by The London Suede, along with fanclubwallet's "Cotton Mouth" and The Lemonheads' "In The Margin". That brings us to a ten-way tie at #9, which I won't list here. Check out all those involved on the charts.

We'll hop back to the album chart where last week's co-#1's, Straight Line Was A Lie from The Beths and Moisturizer from Wet Leg, are #3 and #4 respectively. Of course Wet Leg's album is out this week, so I'd be surprised if it didn't find its way back to #1. Next there's a three-way tie at #5 between The Bug Club's Very Human Features, Gelli Haha's Switcheroo, and Hotline TNT's Raspberry Moon. Finally the top ten albums close with four-way tie at #8. That's not too many to list here, so here they are - Ben Folds Live With The National Symphony Orchestra, Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You from Ethel Cain, Lovesick from The Happy Fits, and When Are You Leaving? from Noso.

For the full charts, point your cursor HERE and clickety click. You'll also want to be sure to peruse the Available For Airplay list as the new music is back in full force after the holiday weekend lull. In addition to the Wet Leg record, you'll find albums from Allo Darlin', BC Camplight, Big Special, Dropkick Murphys, Gwenno, Juan Wauters, Mal Blum, Petey USA, and more, plus singles by Anamanaguchi, Anna of the North, Circa Waves, Geese, HAERTS, Hot Chip, Jay Som, Jens Lekman, and a ton of others.

Before I get out of here, I wanted to thank Dan Davis of Vestal, NY's WSKG for all the years of reporting his show The Hour of Now, which has unfortunately ended its run.

I also want to take a personal moment to mention one of the great loves of my life, my soul-kitty Starla, whom we had to say goodbye to last week after fifteen years together. There will never be another one (cat, human, or otherwise) like my sweet, silly, smart, mischievous, weird, and beautiful Starla. Such a little girl, with such a huge personality. I will love and miss her forever. My only solace is the hope that she's reunited with her brother Hugo, making mischief and cuddling together for eternity.
