RMDS: Peter's Top Albums of 2006
Artists mentioned:Well, this has been a whirlwind of a year for me, as far as "indie music" is concerned. Most of you loyal(right?) readers out there would have laughed at my iTunes at the begginning of 2006, as my indie cred was little to none. But thanks to a few friends...(read full post)

Arcade Fire - "Intervention"
Artists mentioned:Grr. I was set on putting up my top live shows of 2006 up on the blog today, but my heart really wasn't in it, considering all I've done lately is play Arcade Fire on repeat. I'm not going to post the new song "Intervention" because it's everywhere already, but...(read full post)

The Skygreen Leopards
Artists mentioned:Mmm, I'm finally back in my home state of Colorado, and it feels good to be home. Cold, but nonetheless still good to be home.

Clipse - "Trill"
Artists mentioned:I have never got excited about a hip hop or rap release. Ever. Sure, I have those random mp3's scattered across my iTunes that you will hear at a club, but I've never been an enthusiast of the genre, not even in the slightest bit. Until now, that is.See, I...(read full post)

Damien Jurado - "Denton Tx."
Artists mentioned:When Joe first turned me onto Damien Jurado last spring I couldn't get enough.

Needless to say, I was super excited for the oppurtunity to see him live at Sasquatch over Memorial Day...(read full post)

Ratatat Remixes Revisited
Artists mentioned:With all the buzz this year around Classics, it's hard not to have heard of Ratatat from somewhere. But even I, being the pre-Classics fan I am, had not heard of the Ratatat Remixes Vol. 1 album which was released way back in 2004. On the album the duo takes...(read full post)

Magic Numbers - "Take A Chance"
Artists mentioned:I'm not going to lie, I feel kind of silly not having heard of The Magic Numbers until a few days ago. The fact that these four Englishmen formed in 2002 and released their s/t debut in June of 2005 should show that I have been out of the loop....(read full post)

Page France - Live at HOB
Artists mentioned:Ahh yes, after immersing myself in Page France's music for the past nine months it was quite the treat to finally see them live. Although they were sandwhiched in between local San Diegan's Kite Flying Society and the Anathallo brigade, I'm only going to write about my beloved Maryland indie-poppers...(read full post)

Annuals 'n such...
Artists mentioned:I'm sure most of you have undoubtedly already heard about these blog-buzzed, P-fork affirmed, experimental-indie rockers from North Carolina. No? Well they are the Annuals. Not "The Annuals," as they'll be quick to point out, but the Annuals. For those of you that have already heard about this band of...(read full post)

When I Am Gone (Sparrow House and I)
Artists mentioned:Wow, once again, another long stretch of non-existent blogging. I'd like to say it won't happen again, but stuff happens. Stuff such as: getting straight up spat on by EZArchive, spilling a pop on my keyboard, and getting swamped with presentations and papers...you get the idea: it's been rough. Well,...(read full post)
