Todd (Sea Level) Clifford's Top 10 List


A lot of us miss the convenience and community of Sea Level Records. We made a lot of friends there and got turned on to a lot of music there. Roughly 86% of the time when you went in, Todd was the man behind the counter. Today, Todd's the Todd in the Little Radio show, Sinking with Sylvia (and Sometimes Todd). You might also see him DJing around town, filling in at KXLU or behind the merch table at a Silversun Pickups show. Continuing our guest contributors, here's Todd's best of 2007.
