My favorite albums of 2007
TL;DR Mixtapes at the end of this post
I feel obliged to type some profound and amusing musings about music in 2007. (Un)fortunately I'm a man a very few words, so I'll just skip to my list of favorite albums of 2007. I'm also too lazy to provide additional information for each artist. Luckily everyone can google these days.
I would like to say a hearthy 'thank you' to the following internet superheroes for their uploads and recommendations;
Oink, Hemptimes, Slugbucket, Indietorrents, Tweetracker, Pry, Fearie, Waffles, Bolachas Grátis, Thetribepride, That one dude on Oink with all the folk recommendations (not Bjeep), Bjeep, Kristina and all others I forgot who recommended me something that ended up on this list.
