: Outside Counsel

By Bill Altreuter

Every week the Village Voice posts a list of the top selling records at a Village music shop. Greenwich Village is one of the few places left that even has record stores, and the feature is as much about the stores and what they feature as anything else, so it is something that I always turn to with some interest. Last week's store was Rebel Rebel Records. Its Top 10:

1. Various Artists:The Village: A celebration of the Music of Greenwich Village
2. Ricky Lee Jones: Balm in Gilead
3. Julian Casablancas: Phrazes for the Young
4. Noah and the Whale: The First Days of Spring
5. Patrick Watson: Wooden Arms
6. Richard Hawley: Truelove's Gutter
7. Swell Season: Strict Joy
8. Soap & Skin: Lovetune for Vacuum
9. Leonard Cohen: Live at the Isle of Wight (1970)
10. Jonsi and Alex: Riceboy Sleeps

I hope they sold a ton, but how many copies of "Balm in Gilead" do you suppose actually went out the door?
