Oingo Boingo - Nothing to Fear
Oingo Boingo - Good For Your Soul

Both on vinyl. 8 bucks. As well as a used copy of Viewtiful Joe, but that's another topic.

Something For Kate - Elsewhere for 8 minutes
The Beatles - Abbey Road
Massive Attack - Blue Lines
Wolfmother - S/T
Dream Theater - Train of Thought
Spinal Tap - This is Spinal Tap (I thought I was seeing shit when I saw this in the record store. Apparently they have another album as well. Fucking weird)
The Decemberists - Picaresque

I mostly cope with holiday stress by buying a whole bunch of CDs.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #1102 on:** 31 Dec 2005, 15:50 »

Dream Theater - Octavarium
Pain of Salvation - Entropia
Star One - Space Metal

The last two were bought off amazon.com, via gift certificate purchased with my loose change. Avoiding coin counting fees by getting credit to a place you'd probably spend the money anyway ftw.

State of Synthpop 2005 (6CD compilation

)

Inlander · « **Reply #1109 on:** 02 Jan 2006, 16:24 »

I finally got around to buying the Decemberists' Her Majesty. Damn, I should have bought this months ago! I like it a hell of a lot more than Picaresque. In fact, it's almost as good as Castaways and Cutouts.

I also got the Mountain Goats' We Shall All Be Healed. Also very good, also possibly underrated by a lot of people. But now I'm sad because I'm rapidly running out of Mountain Goats C.D.s to buy (having in 2005 also bought Nine Black Poppies, Zopilote Machine, Nothing for Juice, Full Force Galesburg, Sweden, The Coroner's Gambit, All Hail West Texas, Tallahassee, the Sunset Tree, Bitter Melon Farm, Protein Source of the Future . . . Now!, and Ghana.)

Just went to Amoeba today.

If you're talking about the one in Berkeley, then I actually prefer the huge Rasputin two blocks down. Bigger selection, and it's broken down by genre better.

nescience · « **Reply #1114 on:** 03 Jan 2006, 00:10 »

No, actually I made the trip into SF to go to the Haight Street Amoeba. Beats both the Berkeley Amoeba and Rasputin. I'm actually not a huge Rasputin fan myself, but then again I'm not a huge fan of the Berkeley Amoeba and I'll agree that it's arguable that the Berkeley Rasputin is laid out better.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #1115 on:** 03 Jan 2006, 00:12 »

I've never been to the SF Ameoba. I'll make sure I go there next time I'm in the city.

TrueNeutral · « **Reply #1117 on:** 03 Jan 2006, 04:23 »

I just got + initial thoughts:

System of a Down - Hypnotize - ...it's kind of boring.
Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene - What I expected. So, good.
Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain - Love this album, but I did when I had it illegally as well.
Audioslave - Out Of Exile - Disappointing.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever To Tell - Pretty rocking. Is Karen O having sex, though? Seems like it.
Orgy - Vapor Transmission - I first listened to this album at a friends house, because I normally don't really dig the electronic stuff in metal, but damn, this album is CATCHY. I didn't expect that since I pretty much hated Candyass.

Oh man. When someone starts talking about edgy, explicit music, I always think of the Strokes. Those guys are hardcore.

Kid A was also in the $10 racks, but I was under the impression that I was more broke than I actually was.

All of them very good.

stevethepirate · « **Reply #1127 on:** 04 Jan 2006, 17:19 »

Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News. It's good. Some of you may know it as the corporate whore out album. I disagree, I think they just decided to play some slightly different material.

Spike · « **Reply #1128 on:** 04 Jan 2006, 18:48 »

The Strokes- First Impressions of Earth

Their new album is growing on me.

thesonglessbird · « **Reply #1129 on:** 04 Jan 2006, 19:55 »

Hawkwind - Doremi Fasol Latido / In Search Of Space

I think this is the stuff my Dad used to get stoned to all those years ago... Classic psychadelic sci-fi nerd rock.

Sheavy - Republic?

It's rare that an album hooks me on the first listen. Brilliant if you like awesome riffs and Ozzy style vocals.

McTaggart · « **Reply #1130 on:** 10 Jan 2006, 00:05 »

Emiliana Torrini - Fisherman's Woman

She has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.

Hawkwind are so awesome it hurts. I have (to my knowledge, the guy who compiled the torrent may have missed a few*) their entire discog.

*And by that, I mean hundreds. Of course, Hawkwind has a good 93,000 records anyways.

Inlander · « **Reply #1134 on:** 11 Jan 2006, 23:00 »

Oh boy, I'm super-terrifically excited because Polyester Records here in Melbourne has just started stocking the entire Archers of Loaf back-catalogue - I'm listening to Icky Mettle right now. "Web in Front" is just as brilliant as I remember it, twelve years after I first heard it in high-school! I've been looking in every single record store I've ever entered in Australia for this record ever since then, and this is the first time I've ever seen it.

Shit yeah.

ayePod · « **Reply #1135 on:** 12 Jan 2006, 04:49 »

2 days ago I purchased £30 worth of old folk and country compilations. It's a good week to be me.

crazybritishsteve · « **Reply #1136 on:** 12 Jan 2006, 06:19 »

Saw Hawkwind a few months ago. Very meh. Not the original drummer, not much good.

On topic: Not bought much really but finally got Feeder: polythene. Woohoo! Music from my high school days that doesn't suck!

Opeth-Blackwater Park

And then the cashier gave me his copy of Ghost Reveries for free 'caus ehe doesn't listen to it anymore.

Kai · « **Reply #1143 on:** 16 Jan 2006, 18:04 »

That's because it's cheesy and Aryeon are better.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #1144 on:** 16 Jan 2006, 19:50 »

Opeth is better for crazy guitar solos (which Arjen doesn't do much), but Ayreon is really just more complex in song structure and arrangments, and of course the really intricate storylines. Not to mention that he's got great vocalists on every single album.

Speaking of which, Khar, which is the Ayreon album with Dickinson in it? I have The Human Equation and Into the Electric Castle, and he's not in either of those.

Kai · « **Reply #1145 on:** 16 Jan 2006, 20:18 »

He was on Universal Migrator Part II. I don't have it, so I can't tell you how it is, but.

I don't know where I can get the kind of music I want. Would popular music stores have indie music?
The last album I purchased was... Hypnotize?

Thrillho · « **Reply #1149 on:** 23 Jan 2006, 08:55 »

Emmerhoff and the Melancholy Babies - I can't even remember what it's called.

But it's stupidly good. Like Wilco on crack instead of downers.
