This week at Spinning Platters, we reviewed a few new albums, saw a few shows, and told you what shows to see. Although this post is meant to tell you the busiest new posts of the week, I’d like to mention that we had a strange boost of traffic on an old review of a show by Rooney and Tally Hall. It got mentioned on a Rooney message board, and Rooney fans are spectacularly loyal. Welcome, fans of Rooney! I hope you’re still reading. As for our top five new posts?
1. Jonathan Pirro’s review of Alice in Chains and The Creature with the Atom Brain at The Fox Oakland.
2. Laura Hamilton’s review of the album from HIM, Screamworks: Love in Theory & Practice.
3. Pouria Yazdi’s review of Wild Beasts at The Independent.
4. Gordon Elgart’s review of Dave Rawlings Machine at The Fillmore.
5. Gordon Elgart’s review of Mumford & Sons at Popscene.
