Bookmark this one for the next time you hit rock trivia night. Billboard is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Hot 100 charts! The celebration consists of framing the archival data in ways interesting to people who would be excited by the 50th Anniversary of the Hot 100 charts. This means awesome organizational tactics like Most Weeks At #2 Without Hitting #1 and Artists With Most #2 Hits and other such things that shouldn’t excite me as much as they do. With me? Here’s the first batch:

Check the replies for a video with a clip of an unheard *Midtown* (http://www.absolutepunk.net/midtown) song. Oh dear. The band’s myspace (http://www.myspace.com/midtown) has been completely altered as well.

Earlier this week we went up to Syracuse with Ra Ra Riot for a live take of The Rhumb Line’s “Too Too Too Fast.” The production values were high and the sound crisp, but still, it was a live clip. “Ghost Under Rocks” is a proper video for the orch-pop band, with director Brian Savelson at the helm. It’s not too much different than the live vid really, in that the band is simply performing and the song is very good, although the ropes and world map do somehow fit the need to examine dreams, and letting the frequent fliers be, and etc. It’s somehow sweet and sad at once. Ra Ra Riot is one of those bands that’s growing on me, quickly.

With ex-members of The Warlocks and Brian Jonestown Massacre filling the ranks of LA’s Spindrift, you can pretty much narrow down their sound without even hearing a note. It may be druggy, droney, bluesy, or blissful, but whatever… (in post “The New West” by Spindrift from I Rock Cleveland. Download this at Amazon iTunes)
