For recent recordings, check out these other <a href="http://www.archive.org/audio/collection.php?collection=mmm" > My Mean Magpie Releases</a>.</font> A compilation of artists from the My Mean Magpie label and associated friends with unusual liner notes by the mysterious Mista GO-rilla. Eight exclusive songs, three exclusive mixes and six songs from the My Mean Magpie catalogue from such artists as Jack Breakfast, Oval-Teen, Wendal, The Linger Effect and many more. Of this recording <a href="http://www.exclaim.ca/index.asp?layid=23&csid1=5232" target="_blank">Exclaim Magazine</a> said that <i>Peeler</i> is "an incredibly charming sounding compilation of lo-fi pop, folk and rock tunes put out by this Toronto-based micro-label, which may lack in big budget sound quality but more than makes up for it in the overall quality of music. The tunes on this album are raw and simple, yet the emotional content carries weight and nostalgia. One might venture to say that the low-fi approach makes the music actually sound better, colouring tunes that might otherwise sound too naked and stripped down. Among the more emotionally weightier songs are Georgia’s "Highway Soul," "My Cold Heart" by The Yarns and "Sleepguitar" by Toys for Elliot, which all sound like pop hits of the past. Peeler is a treasure chest of songs by bedroom lo-fi rockers conveying latent talent onto low budget recorders that is as directly touching as a crayon drawing by a five-year-old." 2001-10-19 00:00:00 2001 Pop;Various Artists;Indie-Pop;Lo-Fi http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/ 1 2005-03-31 11:34:03 2005-03-31 02:01:44 Five Seventeen five17@telus.net Five Seventeen 2005-04-18 22:12:40 00:56:09 <strong>About the Recordings</strong> All My Mean Magpie Releases are available in mp3 and a lossless CD-quality <a href="http://flac.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">flac format</a>.
