Newcomers Rufus from Sydney pop in at #67 with the chill-down track "Desert Night", which is my "Aussie Pick of the Week"...

Los Angeles-based indie pop group Grouplove are back at #73 with "Ways To Go". Their "Tongue Tied" reached the top-40 last year...

The Preatures are in at #98 with "Is That How You Feel?"...

The final entry of the week at #100 is the #1 single in neighboring New Zealand. It's a collective of Kiwi reggae artists under the name "Aotearoa Reggae All Stars" with "Sensitive To A Smile", a remake of a chart-topping NZ song by the band Herbs, done for charity from violence-free parenting...

That's it for tonight...I'll be back tomorrow with another Song of the Day, 7 of the 70s, and 8 of the 80s...
