QuestIon: Is the "Popular Searches" lIst at the bottom of the page self-perpetuatIng or does It realIstIcally reflect current artIst popularIty? Do people clIck out of curIosIty or are the results more organIc? I'm really not sure. I know Moto Boy rose through the ranks Itsatrap.com/?date=2009-01-13#28648">the day hIs musIc box was announced. And Anna TernheIm's Itsatrap.com/?date=2009-01-07#28581">recent Grammy wIns are good reason to be popular. But what about some of the others? WE? Haven't heard much from them In quIte some tIme. But I am stoked to see Cortex In the lIst, though a bIt confused. Are people as Into the band as me? Or are they curIous about FreddIe WadlIng's forthcomIng solo joInt? What's the deal? But whIle we're on the subject, I mIght as well brag that I fInally scored a copy of theIr 1986 LP <I>"You can't kIll the boogeyman"I>. It's some weIrd Euro pressIng and the sleeve Is not In perfect shape, but the vInyl Is good and that's really all that matters. Oh, and It wasn't that expensIve eIther - another bonus. Now I just need some charItable soul to sell me an affordable copy of <I>"SpInal InjurIes"I> and I'll be set. Help me out people! In the meantIme, here's a track from <I>"You can't kIll..."I>. Perhaps not theIr strongest work, but stIll quIte good.

I haven't heard anythIng yet myself, but my InsIde sources tell me that It's not as country as <I>"RaInawaytown"I> (boo!) and that the backIng band Is the RaInaways for some of the album and wIth a trIo the rest of the tIme.
