[Kid Modernist]

Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans
Lightning Bolt - Wonderful Rainbow
The Make Believe - Shock of Being
Mogwai - Young Team

[Thrillho]

Actually, it wasn't Vera that bothered me as much as Don't Leave Me Now. I absolutely loathe that song.

The first three minutes are unbearable - though I love the lyrics - but it's worth it for those sublime guitar parts at the end, I think.

I have closer and unknown pleasures already, but thanks for the advise anyway

Closer is one of my favourite albums ever, it's just so heartbreakingly brilliant.

If you can't see the point in On the Run you don't have decent headphones/stereo. The Wall was the first Floyd album I got into and I won't diss a single cut.

Well obviously listening to it like that is impressive, but considering it's basically their 'pop' album, having to appreciate the song just because of what they did with the stereo is a bit of a bummer.

[Tactical Error]

Lets see, latest purcase is The Notwist(self titled).

I'm still listening to my last purchase quite frequently as well, that would be Sonic Youth - Experimental Jet Set Trash and No Star.

[Willem]

Closer is one of my favourite albums ever, it's just so heartbreakingly brilliant.

Ditto (though she's lost control (unknown pleasures version) is my favourite track by them by far (though colony is briliant too)). Far better than unknown pleasures or what copycats have produced so far (antics, the back room, etcetera)

[MilkmanDan]

Just today I got a live recording by Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker - Town Hall, New York City, June 22, 1945.  Only released this year, never previously issued.  I can't believe that this recording was just sitting around somewhere and nobody knew anything about its existence - for 60 years!  Holy shit, a high-quality llive recording of Diz and Bird playing together at their peak is like the Holy Grail of modern jazz!

Clearly this is the year of finding kick ass lost recordings

[theenginedriver]

Meat is Murder - The Smiths <3
Live it Out- Metric

[Thrillho]

My favourite track is Day Of The Lords, but pound-for-pound I think Closer is better - Atrocity Exhibtion; The Eternal; Decades especially. Six-minute slices of greatness.

[Tanka]

Project 86 - And The Rest Will Follow brings their style closer back to the days of Drawing Black Lines, but still retains some of the sound they used with Songs To Burn Your Bridges By.

Very good album.  For anybody that's a fan of modern rock/soft metallic sounds, pick it up.

[KaosPilot]

rosie thomas - if songs could be held

and

65 days of static - one time for all time, which is so spine-chillingly, mind-boggingly, ear sexing brilliant it's just...orgasmic.

[Joseph]

Wow, I've just realized it's been about a month since I bout any new music...

  Anyways, it would be Hail to the Thief by Radiohead, Loaded by the Velvet Underground, Who's Next by The Who, and Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs by Derik and the Dominoes.

  I was in a classic rock sort of mood.

[MilkmanDan]

65 days of static - one time for all time, which is so spine-chillingly, mind-boggingly, ear sexing brilliant it's just...orgasmic.

Hell yes. That album has been kicking my ass ever since I picked it up at their Glasgow show a few weeks back. It's frighteningly good.

As for me, I'm enjoying the newly acquired Garden State Soundtrack.

My favourite tracks off it would have to be The Cary Brothers - Blue Eyes, Frou Frou - Let Go (an obvious choice), Simon & Garfunkel - The Only Living Boy In New York AND finally Thievery Corporation - Lebanese Blonde. It's all gold though. Everyone needs to own this soundrack.

I only just bought it yesterday, but goddamn I say! I think the drownedinsound review does it better justice than anything i could say about it. instead, i'll just rock out.

[salada]

Atari Teenage Riot -- Redefine The Enemy!

b-sides and remixes and live stuff and such. awesome.

[Kossie]

Tarot - Suffer Our Pleasures

It been a while since I've actually bought a new album due to lack of funds, but I seriously recomend this to any fans of metal, especially just straight out Heavy Metal. Its Marco Hietala's band hes had going with his brother for about 20 years. Its where he shines on bass and vocals, and on some videos you see he actually has a third beard thingy rather than two! You can really hear where Nightwish calmed him down and visually made him more clean-cut, hahaha!

for samples and videos.

[raquel]

In the past 2 months I've bought:

Broken Social Scene (the latest)

Feist - Let it Die
Thrice - The Illusion of Safety (don't really like it all that much.. but it's perfect music for when I'm in an extreme state of being pissed off)
Incubus - Morning View
Death Cab for Cutie - Plans
Weezer - Make Believe

and I ABSOLUTELY need the new Metric.. and I would like Stars, also.

[MSI101]

[ramenXnoodles]

New Broken Social Scene
Explosions in the Sky - Earth is Not a Cold, Dead Place

My favorite song on Broken Social Scene is Ibi Dreams of Pavement (A Better Day)

[Skibas_clavicle]

Thrice - The Illusion of Safety (don't really like it all that much.. )

GADZOOKS! It's the only good one besides the one released before it. I was so disspointed with Artist In The Ambulance, and I'm not even into that kind of music. "Punk"/"emo"/"Screamo" bands easing up on their guitar made them all generic and unlistenable-to. </rant>

[Nemba]

I went on a bit of a CD-Buying-Spree, these are my spoils:

I'd be very surprised if many people here have heard of these:
The Caitlin Smith Group - Aurere
Billy TK Junior - Three Sides to a Mirror
Nathan Haines - Squire for Hire
Zircon - Phasma Elementum

And some perhaps better known ones:
The Dresden Dolls - The Dresden Dolls
Lovage - Music to Make love to your Old Lady by
Esbjörn Svensson's Trio - Strange Place for Snow
Esbjörn Svensson's Trio - From Gagarin's Point of View
Esbjörn Svensson's Trio - Seven Days of Falling

Woo.

[heretic]

Sigur Ros- Takk

Fishbone- Chim-Chim's Badass Revenge

[Kid Modernist]

Heretic, how do you like Takk? I think it's pretty great, but falls off at the end. I want to give it another go through sometime though.

Today I bought The Velvet Underground and Nico, and King Sunny Ade's Juju Music.

[Willem]

yey for VU + Nico. Even better than White Light/White heat

[Kid Modernist]

I like White Light/White Heat for its own merits though. The last song is killer.

[Willem]

Oh yeah, WL/WH is great too. Definitly.Sister Ray is..ehm..fun to say the least. But VU & Nico is better. Woo Heroin, Woo Venus in Furs

[Kai]

Shiny Shiny... Shiny Boots of Leather...




Anyways. I just bought The Freewheelin' Bob Dyla, because Bob Dylan is ace.

[visceralviscous]

latest vinyl purchases (made this afternoon):
(everything was 50 cents, except for the first two, which were $1 each.)

"music from the original soundtrack and more"~ the. original. woodstock. recordings.  (3 records)

"the first authentic 1950's rock and roll collection. 72 original hits on 4 boss albums" (that is what it says on the cover. and there is a bad drawing of what looks kind of like james dean's profile but just his back. it also makes me think of american graffiti in general.)

bill haley scrapbook

flashback~chuck berry

ella fitzgerald and billie holiday at the newport [recorded in '57]

jazz impressions of japan~the dave brubeck quartet (whom i'd never heard of before, but yay nonetheless)

rhapsody in blue/american in paris~gershwin

creedence gold~ccr

soul folk~johnny nash

johnny cash at san quentin

this weirdasfuck thing called "easy listening beatles: for people who hate rock and roll" with beatles covers by people like ray conniff and johnny mathis.
lol.

[Bunnyman]

I went utterly fucking nuts at Rasputin, coming home with:

Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein
Portishead - Portishead
Coldcut - Let Us Play
Leftfield - Rhythm and Stealth (worth it simple because it inspired my favorite typeface)
Phuture - Phuture (yaay Chicago Acid House!)

Also, the Criterion Collection DVD of Man Bites Dog.  Yaay!

[Inlander]

jazz impressions of japan~the dave brubeck quartet

For 50 cents? Fucking SCORE!

Next get Time Out.

[Hat]

Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Jodie Phillis - For Lovers, Artists and Dreamers
Rush - Rush

This was a great haul, for a few reasons. One, the Rush album was recommended to me by some hipster kids I had to barge through to get to Rush, who I was going to buy as a promise to a friend (He threatened to knee-cap me if I didn't buy some Rush, and we listened to 2112 on the way to drop me off to the music store) and I went off on some weird tangent to these folks and decided I should follow the advice of random strangers, because I was pissed as a fart. I love it. Secondly, I was buying an Iron Maiden CD, and a CD whose cover art is a drawing of a girl hugging a swan at the same time.  Maybe I'm just simple, but I found this so goddamned amusing.

[KharBevNor]

I picked up 'Hellcat Records Presents...Give 'em the Boot III' sampler today, because I was short on cash, fancied some new music and it had some artists I like on it (Leftover Crack, Tiger Army, Rancid, Dropkick Murphy's etc.) Unfortunately the last seven tracks or so are fooking ska, which is pretty urgh, I should have been able to tell by the names, but the other two informal sections (punk and psychobilly) are pretty nice. I need to pick up some shit by Devils Brigade and Lars Frederiksen and the Bastards.

[hoax]

I just got The New Pornographers' Twin Cinema and I think it's hell-of-awesome.  It rocks my face off.

That is all.

[Nemba]

Tim Finn - Before & After

Awesome. Though I personally enjoyed the stuff he did with Split Enz better, that was a very good album.

[Kid Modernist]

I bought the new Broken Social Scene, Sufjan Stevens - Enjoy Your Rabbit, and The Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat.

And all I went there for was to get Joao Gilberto in Tokyo... hah.

[FallDownTree]

My latest acquisitions:

Laura Veirs - Year of Meteors
Blackalicious - The Craft
Joanna Newsom - The Milk-Eyed Mender
Uncle Tupelo - Anodyne
Silver Sun - Disappear Here
Portishead - Dummy
Ohmega Watts - The Find
The Like Young - So Serious

The end.

[destructotroninator]

picked up Open Season by British Sea Power and We Have The Facts and We're Voting Yes by Death Cab the other day. mmm sales. should've gotten more.

[MilkmanDan]

Just purchased the Rinse FM CD pack. It's called Rinsessions Vol. 1, and I get 6 CDs and a DVD for £20. Madness. Roll Deep, Ruff Sqwad, Slimzee, Plasticman, Logan Sama and Jiggy B. How could I possibly pass up all that Grime?

[RUMBLEMOOSE]

SK inspired by all the top 5 lists, the rest mostly inspired by being really cheap:

Sleater-Kinney, The Woods
Portraits of Past, s/t
Rainer Maria, Past Worn Searching
Phil Lynott, Solo In Soho
Joni Mitchell, Song to a Seagull
Gordon Lightfoot, Summer Side of Life
Gordon Lightfoot, Old Dan's Records
Gordon Lightfoot, If You Could Read My Mind
Utada Hikaru, Exodus
Rapider Than Horsepower, Stage Fright, Stage Fright...
Treasure State, Migration
MTV- Amp2 compilation
Glastonbury Jukebox compilation
Numbers|Death compilation

[lastclearchance]

MTV- Amp2 compilation

I HAVE that. I particularly like "War" and "Abandon Ship (Sharks and Mermaids)."

As for me, I've been legalizing my music collection. I'm waiting to see if insound's big November 15th announcement includes a sale...but the other day I ordered what I stole from Barsuk:

Death Cab for Cutie: Plans (Yeah I know it's Atlantic but Barsuk was selling it)
Death Cab for Cutie: Something About Airplanes
The Long Winters: When I Pretend to Fall
Nada Surf: The Weight is a Gift
John Vanderslice: Pixel Revolt
Rilo Kiley: Take Offs and Landings

[sjbrot]

The Long Winters: When I Pretend to Fall

Yes! "Cinnamon" is probably one of my all-time favorite songs.

[AngelicHapa]

Oh, No! Oh, My! from The Jolly Rogers has been keeping my ears good company lately. (And it was only a buck-fifty!) Hooray for a self-produced disc from a great indie band.

Other recent acquisitions include Lauryn Hill - MTV Unplugged and Fall Out Boy - From Under The Cork Tree. The ones I will publicly admit to on here, at least.

[Hemmings]

Mott the Hoople Live. Yeah, it rocks.

 Fall Out Boy - From Under The Cork Tree.

NOOOOOOOOO. Nah, that's okay. They're not my cup o' tea, it's just that I get calls for those guys at the radio station all the time and, to be perfectly honest, I just can't take it anymore.
