Fun Stuff > BAND
Recent Purchases but better.
Houdinimachine:
I made quite a few purchases recently. All of them were amazing. I've been lucky.
On I-Tunes, I bought Skyclad - Folkemon... and I listened to it for about 8 hours straight last night. I wish they had other music available on I-Tunes because the chances of me finding their other music is going to be hard I think.
On Amazon.com, I bought:
Belle and Sebastian - If you're feeling sinister
Stars - Set Yourself on Fire
I am a recent convert to the church of B & S, so If you're feeling sinister is like a musical revolution in my head right now. This stuff is awesome. It's not quite as poppy and catchy as Life Pursuit is, but it's just as beautiful in its own right.
I can not say enough about Stars. I absolutely defy anyone who likes Arcade Fire to tell me Stars isn't pretty damn cool too. Set Yourself on Fire is pretty much going to be my writing music from now on.
On CDbaby.com, I bought:
Emperor X - central hug/friendarmy/fractal dunes [and the Dreams that Resulted]
Fez Dispenser - Elephant Etiquette
Collin Wade Monk - The Astonished Gratitude of Alectrice Chevroi
I love CDBaby.com. Their 5 dollar specials make me all warm and fuzzy inside.
Emperor X is very cheeky indy pop. This is very decent stuff to listen to when just relaxing and browsing the internet. Preferably at high volume...
Fez Dispenser... Trip Hop has never been my thing until this guy. He just has his shit DOWN. I am constantly amazed by the stuff in this album.
Collin Wade Monk... If I had to explain this album to someone, I'd say it's a low-fi Mofro mixed with Bob Dylan's voice and a little more R&B. I have a fetish for southern fried jazz and R&B, so this is my dirty little secret and none of you can have it.
Fortnight:
Cesaria Evora - Cabo Verde
Cesaria Evora - Miss Perfumado
Cesaria Evora - Mar Azul
Cesaria Evora - Ragamar
I bought these after I was blown away by a song off of 'Mar Azul' at work and totally fell in love after I played a few more tracks. I bought the first two at Tower looking for 'Mar Azul', but luckily my workplace is surrounded by record stores and I found it somewhere else, and discovered that the person who rang me up was a fan and convinced me to buy the last one, which came out not too long ago.
I had a bizarre experience where I found some of these albums in another part of the house with stickers from another store, only to find out that my mother has been a big fan for years and already had some of these albums. So she lent me her favorite 'Café Atlantico'.
Otherwise I went to Amoeba and decided to take a chance and bought my first No-Neck Blues Band album, Qvaris. Which is AMAZING. Also since I was very taken with the man on the cover, I bought a collaboration NNCK did with a German band called Embryo called Embryonnck.
Much goodness. Even though that pretty much was my paycheck.
And Houdinimachine, you can find most of Skyclad's albums on Amazon, or on their website.

If he lived in Denmark, he could find them at the library. We have pretty nifty libraries.
You can also lend every porn "movie" ever released in Denmark because they are required by law to have at least one copy.

--- Quote from: Spinless ---Right, bands that I love have recently put out albums I didn't care for. The Flaming Lips, Built to Spill, blah blah blah.
--- End quote ---
I'm glad you said this, I also didn't much like the new Built to Spill release. Tha kinda hurt since they're one of my favourite bands.
I didn't buy Goo by Sonic Youth but I did download it yesterday. This is the closest this I've got.
Thrillho:
Purchases I have made (none of which have arrived, these were all ordered on amazon):
Black Flag - Damaged (can't wait for this to arrive, if for 'TV Party' alone)
Lennon Legend
Nick Cave - Murder Ballads (which I have actually heard most of already)
The Divine Comedy - Victory For The Comic Muse (which I have entirely on MP3 and is fucking brilliant.)
