RTP07 Top 10: Rev. Dave

More great albums from established artists in my top 10 this year than “new” bands. Guess it means we need better albums from new bands. I’m talking to you The Sun’s Harmful Rays and Bandstraction…
My 10 favorite albums of 2007:
10 Explosions In the Sky - All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone

With Scarves Like These, Who Needs Friends?

For So Long

Pop. You hear that? Thats my RTP blogging cherry. Consider it officially popped. I’ve been neglecting writing for this site since we’ve started it up that I figured it was time to jump right in. Also, I’m a douche.
One of my favorite releases this year is Bat For Lashes Fur And Gold. Sure, sure it’s […]
