Recent Purchases but better.
Teh_Shinobi:
Just bought Sufjan Stevens "The Avalanche" yesterday at Lou's Records in Encinitas, CA for ten bucks. Best money I've ever spent. Ever. I've been listening to it non-stop since yesterday. I highly recommend it to anyone.

I bought Smoosh's She Like Electric the other day at HMV. I had ordered it there a little over a year ago, and since it was an import, I had to pay have the cost upfront. When I went in to pick it up, it took them ten minutes to figure out how to allow me to pay. Ten minutes where the music went from the new Johnny Cash to the Dixie Chicks.
The album itself is pretty cool. I don't know if it was worth import prices and a year's waiting, but hearing a pair of twevle year old girls rock the heck out is almost always a good plan, especially when they have some kind of writing talents.
Praeserpium Machinarum:
Reviving this because for once I got me some cds mang!
I bought them from an acquiantance who was cleaning out his record collection. I got it all for circa. 30 bucks.
Kitchens of Distinction - Strange Free World
Poppy shoegaze from the early 90's, it is pretty harmless but the occasional gay-themed lyrics are great.
Everything But the Girl - Walking Wounded
First album I have heard by them and it is very good. Essentially it is triphop but more songbased than say Massive Attack. Tracy Thorn's vocals are as great as ever.
Stars - Heart
Finally got this one and it is even better than I remembered. This is indiepop at its absolute finest and easily the equal of Set Yourself on Fire.
Sonic Youth - Bad Moon Rising
Very unlike EVOL, my favourite SY album, this is ambient as done by a rockband. I am not sure what to think of it.
Under Byen - Det er Mig Der Holder Trĉerne Sammen and Kyst
Despite the rabid fandom I have for Under Byen I didn't actually own all their albums until now. About time too, it is afterall the best band in the world;)
I now own a grand total of 56 actual albums. Bask in my brilliance!
Kai:
Bad Moon Rising is my favorite Sonic Youth album, I think. That or EVOL.
space_oddity:
Sister was always my favorite SY album.
I just purchased Reckoning from REM myself. Between Peter Buck's guitar and Micheal Stipe's voice, it's pure pleasure, as is all their early stuff. "Seven Chinese Brothers" is particularly lovely.
