Maybe the greatest musical invention of 2006 was the Pitchfork Infinite Mixtape (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/category/infinitemixtape). Since they kicked it off in July, I've discovered an absolute bucketload of new favourite indie bands, like El Perro del Mar and Camera Obscura. Best of all, every song on the whole "mixtape" is available as a free download from Pitchforks' site (or a link to the band/label site). Most of the bands are also available on eMusic, so once you find something you really like, there's more where that came from. The mixtape is already up to 54- I'll do a part 2 later on. I've also done all the hard work of putting the links in for you lazy suckers.
