Finally got my Shout Out Louds - Howl Howl Gaff Gaff CD.

My sister also lent me Snow Patrol - Final Straw

[StrikeThePostman]

Also, not a CD, but I'm still damn happy about it: The Complete Calvin & Hobbes Collection. YES!

My local newspaper has just started printing reruns of Calvin & Hobbes, which not only made me ecstatic but also helped the paper's comic page suck a little less.

[Radiowar]

Stan Getz Quartet - In Paris

One down, eighty to go.

[Praeserpium Machinarum]

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

sooouuulpooower

[Grox]

The Notwist's "Neon Golden."

[La Creme]

Since my flatmates ordered at Amazon anyway, I saved the shipping and finally got:
Tenacious D - Tenacious D

Prepare to laugh like a scared little bitch. This is the funniest album in ever, or at least in the top five.


Coming in the post:

Sleepytime Gorilla Museus -- Of Natural History
Tin Hat Trio - Helium

[Kid Modernist]

Old stuff I've had on my computer for a while, but I bought The Cure's "The Top" and "Seventeen Seconds"

[MysteriumTremendum]

My sister also lent me Snow Patrol - Final Straw

If you like it, I'd recommend Songs For Polarbears, their debut album, even more.

I bought Hard-Fi - Stars Of CCTV today...not bad at first listen, need to give it a few more though.

[StarMinion1]

Thanks for the recomendation. I will look into it

[Kid Modernist]

Fuckin' Village Green Preservation Society is choice.

[sjbrot]

The Best of Muddy Waters and Jay-Z's The Black Album, which was plastered with four stickers advertising it for "$4.44."

Both were purchased at a local supermarket.

[Sydney]

The Shout Out Louds - Howl Howl Gaff Gaff (Kinda like athlete.. the coral, that sorta thing. Just released in the UK today. I like it.)
Muse - Absolution (Yeah i'm afraid i like muse... it would be a guilty pleasure but... guilt is for wusses)
Both purchased at Spillers, oldest record shop in the world. It's independent too.

Edit: Just noticed someone in America.. got Howl Howl Gaff Gaff aaagggeess ago.. sigh.. why does it take so long to release things in the uk?

[Jeridus]

[SpacemanSpiff]

Dredg - Catch Without Arms
Melt Banana - MxBx 1998: 13,000 Miles At Light Velocity

Aw man, the Blood Brothers album is just awesome. And Melt Banana are disturbing, but cool.

[sjbrot]

That's weird, since they are from Europe. But good things come to those who wait. Honestly, in the first few weeks that I bought that album, I overdosed on it just about every night. Something about the duality presented by the lyrics and the music (upbeat tunes about depression).

I bought Sage Francis A Healthy Distrust and Cuff the Duke's album.

[El Opium]

Two packages arrived at once today:
Birchville Cat Motel w/ Lee Ranaldo-12/30/04 CD
Kemiallioset Ystavat-Latvasta Laho CD
Ashtray Navigations-Sinking Seagull 3" Cd-r
Wooden Wand and the Vanishing Voice-Buck Dharma DLP

Enough psychedelic goodness to keep me going for a while.

[Kid Amnesiac]

[Martin]

Comeback Kid - Turn it Around
Comeback Kid - Wake the Dead
Funeral Diner - The Underdark
The Number Twelve Looks Like You - Nuclear. Sad. Nuclear.

All records are awesome. <3

[Storm Rider]

Steve Vai's anthology collection.

[sjbrot]

Comeback Kid - Turn it Around
Comeback Kid - Wake the Dead

Nowadays, I feel a bit of an adversion to buying more than one record from one group at one time if I don't already own some of their stuff. Of course, if I am a show and I love the band and there won't be the possibility to buy these albums elsewhere, I'm wiling to go out on a limb. But for the most part, I feel like I should just buy one at a time.

Does anyone else feel this way?

[soak]

Yeah I agree with you if it is the first album from a particular band. After that if I love them I tend to go all nutty and materialistic.

[joshuasaurus]

a few ep's, one by okkervil river and two by vitalic.

[Martin]

I do kind of feel the same way, but the thing with this purchase was that I had wanted them for so long, and I couldn't find them anywhere in my hometown. So when I found both records at the same place I went crazy and bought them both.

[Sydney]

Yeah well.. i blame the record company. It is a good thing and i am taking huge doses of HHGGoodness. I put it on in a physics lesson, because it was that or a CD called "happy songs" (outkast, kylie.. uck) I had to explain that it was kind of happy.. only not quite.. heh. But now my physics teacher loves it, lol.
The band is from norway i think, but there english is good if the songs are anything to go by.

[MilkmanDan]

The Number Twelve Looks Like You - Nuclear. Sad. Nuclear.
Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson - Unnoticeable in a tiny town, invisible in the city.

Winner. I guess the fact you're Norweign makes it slightly less amazing that you listen to them, but you're still the first person I've seen to have heard of them. They kick ass. The Number Twelve... too, though they aren't quite so much my vibe.

Anyway.
What have I bought recently?
Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
Hallucinogen - The Lone Deranger
Pnu Riff - The Cat Scratch
D/Compute - On My left Hand
Love Corporation - Intelligentsia
Cut la Roc - La Roc Rocs
King Tubby - Declaration of dub
King Tubby - Dub Fever
Public Enemy - It takes a nation of millions to hold us back
Lee Perry - The Upsetter
Ensemble - Sketch Proposals

All for a criminally low price. Seriously, I got 6 for £10, and the rest were all about £4. Also a motherfucking Reagenz record for £3, and a James Bernard LP for £2! My new local record shop kicks ass.

[amok]

O.V.N.I. - Objet Volant Non-Identifié [2CD]
Neikka RPM - The Gemini Prophecies [2CD]
Nebula H - H20 [2CD]
Goteki - Goteki OS
Spetsnaz - Grand Design

[StrikeThePostman]

Does anyone else feel this way?

Yes, because I invariably favor one album over the rest.  This happened to me when I first got into Talking Heads.  I bought More Songs About Buildings and Food and 77 at the same time, and then Fear of Music and Remain in Light about two weeks later.  More Songs... was my favourite then, and it pretty much remains my favourite now (I do go for days listening to only Remain in Light, though).

Actually, I don't even like buying more than one album - from all different artists - at once, for the same reason as I stated above.  Sometimes it works out; I do like coming back a few months later to an album I didn't really get into to find that it's great.

[Radiowar]

GADZOOKS! <3 CocoRosie are so great, I was baffled when I first heard their first cd, how does this one compare?  As for mine new cds:

The Go! Team - Thunder, Lightening, Strike (I'm sad, tickets for their show are sold out)
Neutral Milk Hotel - On Avery Island (after months of having it on my computer)

[StrikeThePostman]

Sufjan Stevens - A Sun Came!
Horowitz plays Rachmaninov and Liszt

[dancarter]

Not too much, soon there will be a lot.

Bought the new Scarling CD, So Long, Scarecrow, which is just plain fun.
How can it not be with titles like 'Teenage Party Letdown', 'Stapled to Mattress', and 'Caribou & Cake'?

Pre-ordered the new Android Lust single Dragonfly and the new full length: Devour, Rise and Take Flight.  October and January can't come fast enough.

Though it's not an album, I did just get the Greater Wrong of the Right DVD that was just released by Skinny Puppy.  Great stuff.  The Last Rights tour documentary on disc 2 was really nice.

[Switchblade]

[McTaggart]

What do you think of the Calexico/Iron + Wine album? I'm thinking of picking it up next time I've got money.

[soak]

I'll let you know more when I have given it a proper listen but from my first listen it is every bit as good as Our Endless Numbered days with some experimentation (the first track has opera in it) with great instrumentation.
