Coincidentally, the most recent album I bought (as in today) was Tanglewood Numbers by Silverjews. And a few days before that I bought Shellac At Action Park. Both are excellent.

The last three albums I got were:

Arvo Pärt - Te Deum

Heartbreaking choral music. The title composition is a marvel.

Salamat - Ezzayakoum

North African street pop with roots in the nubian minority in Cairo and at the Egyptian-Sudanese border.
They've even got a little samba going in the song O Samba.

Shukar - Bear Tamers Music

Romanian bear tamers music that is very rhythmic and has a certain oriental feel in the vocals.
Instrumentation include spoons, plastic drums and body-slapping. On top of that they also scat on a few tracks.

Jesu / Eluvium vinyl only split. One extra long Eluvium track and three brand new Jesu tracks means sheer awesomness. This may be the best $11 I've ever spent. Plus it's pretty and red and see through which really make it even better.

mine's yellow, i haven't got round to listening to it yet.
also bought when this was purchased:

mare - s/t ep (CD) awesome stuff if you like jesu/isis etc.
as i lay dying - an ocean between us (CD) - rarity in it being a good metalcore album
isis - panopticon (2LP) haven't listened to this yet, i'm a sucker for good quality pressings and nice artwork
minus the bear - planet of ice (2LP) amazing.

Over the course of the summer, I didn't buy nearly as many albums as I usually tend to, and I hope that now that summer has reached an end I can keep that trend going. The other day though, I did buy

Pharoah Sanders - Elevation

Liars - Liars

Misereatur · « **Reply #158 on:** 31 Aug 2007, 07:47 »

That is it! I'm ordering me some albums right now.

Also nice job with the Pharoah Sanders.

Today, I bought more CDs I don't need! I decided to journey to a record store a block away from campus I had heard was wonderful. I really didn't stand a chance of not buying something.

John Zorn - The Big Gundown (had a debate between this and Spy Vs. Spy, but this won as it was $5 less)

Les Savy Fav - Rome (Written Upside Down) EP

Ex-Dead Teenagers - Ex-Dead Teenagers

The Ex-Dead Teenagers is a punk band Steve McBeam from Black Mountain/Pink Mountaintops was in during the late '90s. Their only album was finally released in a limited run of 100 this past year. I'd thought all the copies would be in Vancouver, but apparently a couple made it out here. I'm really happy to have found it, as I'd been regretting not buying it when I had the chance.

You should've bought Spy Vs. Spy, man. Think Coleman goes postal with group of anarcho-punks.

Joseph · « **Reply #162 on:** 07 Sep 2007, 04:30 »

So, that'll be my next album purchase then.

Not as good as the DVD, but this was easier on my wallet. It takes me to a happy place.

White Stripes: Icky Thump
Nice to have a band that does stuff along the lines of classic rock / metal. I have a feeling that if I had a band it'd sound a lot like this, except I'd end up singing more like Roger Waters or something, and half in Japanese for the heck of it.
(This album will also from now on forever remind me of this comic.)

Also, U2: Rattle and Hum
It was hard to pick between this and Achtung Baby, but I went with this one 'cause it has a more interesting set of songs (having All Along the Watchtower and Helter Skelter is cool).

My next purchase will probably be the new TMBG album... come to think of it, I've had the song "Sleeping in the Flowers" in my head, and I've now figured out WHY that is. Though I think "coffee shop clerk" is so much cooler a lyric than "copy shop clerk" in the song.

TV on the Radio - New Health Rock EP
Eliott Smith - New Moon
John Vanderslice - Emerald City
Patton Oswalt - Werewolves and Lollipops
Menomena - Friend and Foe
Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank

The last two I'd been listening to for weeks illegally. I finally felt guilty enough to buy them. The only one I was kind of disappointed by was the Modest Mouse. They're just not the same since Jeremiah Green left.

McGill radio station had a big CD sale. Mostly things not worth picking up, but I waded through it, and found some things I'm decently excited about. Took a few chances, hoping they pay off.

Liars - They Were Wrong So We Drowned

Valley Of The Giants - Valley Of The Giants

Mono - One More Step And You Die

Silkworm - Italian Platinum

By Divine Right - Sweet Confusion

Fischerspooner - #1

Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts Of The Great Highway

Charles Mingus - The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

North American Halloween Prevention Initiative - Do They Know It's Hallowe'en?

EDIT: Wow! Post 1000!

Valdemar · « **Reply #170 on:** 16 Sep 2007, 11:50 »

I should buy that Mingus album some time soon. Lord knows, I need to be exposed to jazz that is not about endless, boring soloing.

Rather that display covers I am just going to talk about what I have recently ordered:

Black Sabbath - Master of Reality

First Sabbath album. LIKE ELECTRIC FUNERAL FIRE! Ahem. That song is not on the album but Into the Void is and that is a cracking tune, the original as well as the Kyuss cover.

Drudkh - Autumn Aurora

Tree hugger black metal. Or maybe that is Wolves in the Throne Room? Anyway there are plenty of awesome riffs from what I have heard on myspace. Looking forward to it.

Corrupted - Se Hace Por Los Suenos Asesinos

A Japanese doom/drone band that sing in Spanish. Can't get much more indie than that! Great music as well.

Olivier Messiaen - Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum; Chronochromie; La Ville d'en haut

Three pieces by this french composer. It is very abstract, intuitive music. Difficult to follow for someone not familiar with 20th century classical.

Finally I bought some balinese Gamelan music. But there is not much to say about that one.

Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West (replacing a lost copy, grauhguahgugh)
Joan of Arc - How Can Any Thing So Little Be Any More? EP
Maps & Atlases - Tree, Swallows, Houses
Alan Sparhawk - Solo Guitar

the Alan Sparhawk is especially awesome.

KaosPilot · « **Reply #172 on:** 16 Sep 2007, 12:45 »

Oh much love for Maps + Atlases.

I got Owls - Owls. Because of the Kinsella connection, and also because Owls are heck of awesome.

Misereatur · « **Reply #173 on:** 16 Sep 2007, 13:42 »

Gastr Del Sol - Crookt, Crackt, or Fly

Erik Truffaz - Arkhangelsk

Suzukiton - Service Repair Handbook

John Paul Jones - The Thunderthief

Atomic Rooster - Made in England

My copy has a different cover.
