Topic: What's the last CD you bought? (Read 14300 times)

Thunderpants121 · « **on:** 29 Aug 2007, 10:46 »

So, what CDs have you gone out and bought, or downloaded, or whatever, recently, or just songs from CDs, for that matter? For me:

The New Pornographers - Challengers
Reel Big Fish - Monkeys for Nothin' And The Chimps For Free

PS Is there a thread like this already I don't know about?

A New Journey - Celtic Woman
David's Album - Joan Baez
Roses In The Snow - Emmylou Harris

An interesting batch, I think.

Most recent acquisitions were:

Painbastard - No Need To Worry
Painbastard - Overkill

Saw this guy at Infest over the weekend and he absolutely blew me away, not sure how I haven't heard this stuff before. Had an older album ages ago which didn't really grab me but the last 2 (these 2) are sublime.

Ulrich Schnauss - Far Away Trains Passing By
Ulrich Schnauss - Goodbye

I love 'A Strangely Isolated Place' so much that I didn't even bother checking to see if he had any other albums for ages. He does and they're amazing.

Northborne - Force It

Really energetic, danceable but satisfyingly dark album. Reminds me a bit of ASCII Disko. Which is a good thing.

Blaqk Audio - CexCells

It's the guy from AFI who've sucked for years and the title is a straight rip-off of an album from 10 years ago so I didn't really have high hopes for this release, but it's actually a real breath of fresh air, nice and original. There's the odd duff track where he forgets he's not in AFI anymore and it goes a bit ballady but generally it's a solid synth release.

Pinback - Autumn of the Seraphs.

Obviously, I didn't buy it. It's the last album I got.
I love it.
I think I just decided to listen to it right now.

Sad Sappy Sucker - Modest Mouse

I've gotten other CD's since, but SSS is the last one that I actually paid for...

Operation Ivy - Hectic
Hour of the wolf - Power of the wolf
Dance hall crashers - lockjaw

Last album I bought was Angra's Holy Land, about 2 years ago, and yes, it was on redbook.

Caspian · « **Reply #10 on:** 29 Aug 2007, 17:54 »

This would be Galax's Never Ending Space Trackin. The artwork is amazing. The 'music' not as amazing, but still good. It's basically two japanese guys playing with a tape delay and ring modulator for an hour. Lots of epic swooooooshhhh and whatnot.

kablaaamo · « **Reply #11 on:** 29 Aug 2007, 18:00 »

Challengers was the most recent album I obtained with the money spent and the legality and all that.

The newest album I have though is Animal Collective's Strawberry Jam.

MusicScribbles · « **Reply #12 on:** 29 Aug 2007, 20:45 »

I just got a bunch of albums in from Amazon, so, there are a few.
Silkworm - Developer
Chavez - Better Days Will Haunt You
Okkervil River - The Stage Names
Architecture in Helsinki - Places Like This
Mclusky - Mclusky Do Dallas
The National - Boxer
Battles - Mirrored
Big Black - Songs About Fucking
Belle and Sebastian - Tigermilk

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #13 on:** 29 Aug 2007, 22:09 »

The last I got was the new Okkervil River. John Allyn Smith Sails is, in my opinion, the single best song they have ever recorded. <3

Seriously, can we stop calling albums CDs now?

It was a shitty format and it is about to die a well deserved death anyhow. Let's be ahead of the curve with this one.

He's right. The last album I bought was either Spoon, admittedly on CD, or Fugazi, which was on vinyl.

Fascinatingly enough each is available in the other format. Yet in both forms they're referred to as "albums."

I bought the Silver Jews' Tanglewood Numbers, but that was only because I was given a twenty dollar Barnes and Noble gift card and I couldn't think of a book I wanted within that price range (now I want Moneyball, but how would I know then?).

I don't go to the record store to buy a CD any more than I go to Blockbuster to rent a DVD or to the library to get a paperback or to the art gallery to look at some drawings. I rent movies, I borrow books, I look at artwork and I listen to albums.

The Cure - Greatest hits
Stevie ray Vaughn - Essential SRV

Both satisfactory albums, double CD of SRV for $12.50 is a killer price, some great live hendrix covers as well!

NothingIncorporated · « **Reply #21 on:** 30 Aug 2007, 05:20 »

I've only ever bought one album, and it was a few months ago, it was the self named "Johnny Boy" album, I bought it becuase I love a song they do called

"you're the generation that bought more shoes, and you get what you deserve"

-a true statement, and a wonderful song.

It's available to listen to on their myspace shin-dig, I just can't remember the url, it's worth a listen methinks.

Bishop Allen: Bishop Allen & the Broken String.

Having heard a pre-release copy of it being played in my regular C.D. shop (sorry, "album shop") some months ago, and having long since forgotten all about it, I was in there the other day and one of the girls who works there said words to the effect of "Oh, by the way, that Bishop Allen C.D. you liked has come in" and showed it to me.

That's customer service, ladies and gentlemen.

It was all at the same time, the Atreyu Cd was pretty good, I don't mind it, Shiny Toy Guns is fun when I wanna bop along to something and go all *bouncy bouncy* . The Sum 41 one I'm dissapointed in. It sounds kinda like..... well crap since their last CD.
