Rain Dogs is a classic, to be sure. Good choice!
I just got Swordfishtrombones myself, and it's nearly as good.

To be fair, they sound quite pedestrian now. But they've been ripped off quite a lot.

How can you forget Transmission!??!
They don't sound "pedestrian" now, no matter how many bands have ripped them off. That's saying The Beatles sound pedestrian today because plenty of bands have been heavily influenced by them.
Joy Division aren't for everyone though. They're so empty-sounding.

Because I'm a dick, that's one of my favourite ones. Have you heard the version from the Eindhoven bootleg?

That's what I meant. A lot of modern production isn't very spacious, whereas Joy Division were sparse as hell.
The Eyeball Kid:
I never buy CDs and last week I just bought a zillion of them
On Wedesnday i went to see Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Anthony Rochester and Clue to Kalo. I bought CDs from all the artists, and i bought both the Clue to Kalo album and the tour EP. I got them and the Casiotone CD signed.
I haven't fully listened to them all, but i bought them because i LOVE pretty literate indie-pop, and i don't have enough... and i wanted to support local artists. From what i listened to I loved
Friday i bought more local music at another gig- The Panda Band, New Rules for Boats, and Jeff Strong. I already like The Panda Band, and New Rules for Boats just blew me away with their perfect power-pop... so i needed that music. The New Rules for Boats albums aren't ripping, but i enjoy them... and the Panda Band are great
Sunday were impulse thirft store purchases-- a Monkees Greatest Hits (been listening to them at a party before) for $10, a Sweet greatest hits ($10), which is awesome and fun; Jimmy Ruffian Greatest Hits which is disappointing (though i still love "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?") and a Peabody (local band) EP. I also picked up the new Dylan album for $30, which i will post about on the appropriate thread when i've listened enough to it
i probably spent around $200, but its all good music and i want to give something back to the artists, especially since i'm not paying to get into their gigs (as a reviewer)
rae:
William Elliott Whitmore-Ashes To Dust.
He played an instore a few weeks ago and having only heard one or two songs prior to this I picked up one of his albums. He played again the next day and he blew.me.away. Quite possibly one of the best shows I've ever been to.
And consisdering the price of cds over here most of the time it only cost me £9.00. Bargain.
