Low - The Great Destroyer

that was one of the most dissapointing albums i've ever heard.

[Scordatura]

Devendra Banhart - Rejoicing In The Hands

I have all three, and that's still my favorite of his. So good!

I just got Mercury Rev, All is Dream, Deserter's Songs, and The Secret Migration (with a bonus disc that includes some unreleased songs and live versions), The Funky 16 Corners (a funk compilation album), and The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society.

[Thrillho]

Devendra Banhart - Rejoicing In The Hands

I have all three, and that's still my favorite of his. So good!

I'm pretty sure he has four.

[Aram]

Oh, and I bought Thrice - Vheissu

[MusicSim8]

Hmm... last thing I bought was Fiona Apple's Extraordinary Machine.

Although the last thing I bought online was The Terminal soundtrack.  Good stuff .

[Scordatura]

Devendra Banhart - Rejoicing In The Hands

I have all three, and that's still my favorite of his. So good!

I'm pretty sure he has four.

So he does. I forgot Oh Me Oh My, which I will have to buy. Thanks.

[cibohphobic]

Thrice - Vheissu

I don't know about you but I enjoy the crap out of that album.

[StrikeThePostman]

Devendra Banhart - Rejoicing In The Hands

I have all three, and that's still my favorite of his. So good!

Rejoicing in the Hands is my favourite too.  

I remember the first time I listened to it.  It was in the middle of the night and I couldn't figure out why I kept listening to something so eerie.  I started to love it after listening to it a few times during the day, and it was what sparked my interest in folk music.

Anyway,

Cat Power - You Are Free
Mirah - You Think It's Like This, but It's Really Like This (I can't decide if I really hate this title or really like it.)

[Bastardous Bassist]

I went to the store with the intention of buying some kind of Musique Concrete, but when I saw that the store didn't even have any Verese, and it's got the most complete concert music library of any place in town, I figured I was out of luck. In fact, they ended up having almost none of the composers for which I looked. So, I go over to the jazz section, and start looking through the used section. That was a mistake. I spent way too much money.

Chris Potter - Lift
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Ella and Louis
Medeski, Martin & Wood - Combustication
Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch
Wynton Kelly Trio & Wes Montgomery - Smokin' at the Half Note

I'm listening to Lift right now, and so far it's pretty hot. Chris Potter is probably my favorite sax player at least right now.

edit:  Finished listening to Lift.  Now I'm on Out to Lunch.  A bit of a change, but it's awesome.

[negative creep]

recently purchased:
godspeed you! black emperor - yanqui u.x.o.
porcupine tree - in absentia
get him eat him - geography cones

ordered and waiting for:
three minute poetry - slowly learning that love is ok
oceansize - music for nurses

ordered just 10 minutes ago (but likely to arrive WAY before the ones above):
tomte - buchstaben über der stadt
my bloody valentine - isn't anything

[kid_militia]

Blind Guardian - Battalions of Fear and Follow the Blind.

[Houdinimachine]

Belle and Sebastian - The Boy with the Arab Strap
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl
Harvey Danger - Little by Little
Cat Power -  What Would the Community Think


All of these are freaking excellent.

[Mr. Oysterhead]

Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets

I must say, I enjoy it more than Darkside of the Moon.

[Thrillho]

Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets

I must say, I enjoy it more than Darkside of the Moon.

Can't say I expected that.

I think Saucerful is underrated - there are some amazing songs on it. The title track is one of their best, most coherent pieces, and Jugband Blues shows the last remaining flicker of Syd's enormous talent.

However, most of the songs on Saucerful are dire.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl

Damn right. I'm glad there's finally someone else who appreciates how fucking BRILLIANT this album is. My album of the year for 2005.

[pat101]

I just got a copy of Silver Jews - Starlite Walker. So far, so good.

[Houdinimachine]

Dynamite, wasn't Howl such a complete WTF? when you first heard it? I freaking love it and I am a BRMC fan from way back.

[McTaggart]

Recent purchases:
Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica
Pelican - The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw
City City City - The Perimeter Motor Show

[Storm Rider]

Exodus - Shovel Headed Kill Machine

The first Exodus album I've found pretty much anywhere. I'm sure the Rasputin in Berkeley had some of their albums, but I hadn't gotten into Exodus last time I went there.

[Praeserpium Machinarum]

Talk Talk - The Colour of Spring
The Best of Jefferson Airplane(I couldn't find Surrealistic Pillow)

and I got them cheap as fuck, some 12 dollars for both.

[Cap'n Derk]

Silver Apples - Contact

That stuff will blow yer MIND.

[nescience]

Japan - Gentlemen Take Polaroids

Once again, David Sylvian, my main baritone.

[Thrillho]

Dynamite, wasn't Howl such a complete WTF? when you first heard it? I freaking love it and I am a BRMC fan from way back.

Well I didn't realise I had the CD player up so loud, and when I started it, it's got about a second of silence and then that massive, harmonised 'TI-HI-HI-HI-HIME WON'T SAVE OUR SOULS!' I literally fell off my bed.

[ComfortEagle]

Primus- Animals Should Not Try To Act Like people, im on flu medicine and Les Claypool is screaming at me about his  lost little ice cube.

[Misereatur]

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

Thats because GR is just dissapointing.
It's a good album, but in comparison to the other Opeth albums it's pretty bad.


Anyway, I got these a couple of days ago:
Medeski, Martin & Woods - The Dropper
My Dying Bride - Turn Loose The Swans

[Leonidas]

The Beautiful Girls - Learn Yourself.

Dropped onto my doorstop this morning. Great stuff.

[penpen17]

Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene
Sufjan Stevens - A Sun Came!
Mazzy Star - She Hangs Brightly
Mogwai - Young Team

I am very happy, yet broke

[Benn London]

Deerhoof - The Runners four
Double Disc Vinyl.

Bought it at their show recently and simply cannot stop it spinning.

[Bastardous Bassist]

I just bought a couple of albums that I've been meaning to buy for a long time.
Demons & Wizards - Touched by the Crimson King
Megadeth - Cryptic Writings

[xan]

Been on a pretty good run the last month with CD purchases.  So far I've picked up:

Bloc Party- Silent Alarm
Belle and Sebastian- The Life Pursuit
The Hold Steady- Seperation Sunday
Pretty Girls Make Graves- The New Romance

I'd recommend giving all of them a spin to be honest.  The Life Pursuit is my first B&S album I've bought and although they're a little slower than what I usually listen to, the album is so well put together that I really let it slide.

[youbelongtothecity]

Sigur Ros - ( )
Pelican - The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw
Converge - Jane Doe
Dog Day - Thank You
Jawbreaker - Unfun

[AdamIsConceited]

I haven't listened to a soundtrack since Titanic.... or maybe it was Lion King.


Did I just say that out loud?

[pat101]

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.

This intrigues me...

[greenMonkey]

Mogwai-Government Commissions


Finally I have purchased some Mogwai!  Sadly it was the only Mogwai album my local independent record store had...

[Thrillho]

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.

This intrigues me...

Check it out. OHHH It's called Electric Reverie. It's not out until March, I got a promo to review for the website I write for.

It's kind of psychotic alt-country.

[Zaarin]

Black Grape's It's Great When You're Straight...Yeah was the last album I bought. In my eyes, it's superior to anything the Happy Mondays produced. Hooray for Shaun Ryder and Bez.

Well, probably more for Shaun. But Bez's E induced hilarities are still entertaining.

And the one before that was the Buggles' Age of Plastic. Yes. The album with "Video Killed the Radio Star". Well, it was cheap.

[nescience]

This was the result of four trips to Amoeba Records, one trip to Aquarius Records, and one to Rasputin Records on Friday and Saturday.

John Stuart Mill - Forget Everything
Camper Van Beethoven - Key Lime Pie
Psycho-Baba - On the Roof of Kedar Lodge
Melt-Banana - Scratch or Stitch

Caetano Veloso - S/T
Maher Shalal Hash Baz - Blues du Jour
Adrian Belew - Desire of the Rhino King
Klaus Schulze - Dig It
David Sylvian - The Good Son vs. The Only Daughter: The Blemish Remixes

Klaus Schulze - Audentity
Coil - Mindfuckers

King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic
Japan - Gentlemen Take Polaroids
Fennesz & Sakamoto - Sala Santa Cecilia
Fluid - Science Fiction of None
Crime and the City Solution - Paradise Discotheque
The Human League - Dare / Love and Dancing

Some might call this a bit excessive for a two-day span, but I counter that (1) I have a new credit card, (2) I used said credit card to buy a new MacBookPro, so this is just window-dressing, and (3)I'm depressed because I just found out the girl I have a big crush on has a new boyfriend and so I deserve it.

Time to go listen to some stuff.

[Ghostwriter]

Most recently End Hits by Fugazi and Broken Social Scene's self-titled.

[Kai]

Nescience; bonus points for the Coil and the King Crimson. Larks' Tongues in Aspic is great.

[nescience]

Yeah, definitely.  Larks' Tongues is the last of the first ten Crimson albums (up to Three of a Perfect Pair) that I didn't own on CD or vinyl.  I'm looking quite forward to listening to it.

[Bastardous Bassist]

Just bought an album of Boulez (heading up the Chicago Sympony) doing Varese.  The pieces included are:
Ameriques
Arcana
Deserts
Ionisation
And sorry about the lack of accent marks.  It would take too long to figure out how to do them, I think, and it would be mostly useless, as I usually don't write in a foriegn language.

[destructotroninator]

WELL.

I can't beat that post. But I did pick up quite a few delicious albums over the past couple weeks.

Wolf Parade - Wolf Parade EP
Rahim - Jungles
Eagle*Seagull - Eagle*Seagull
Bishop Allen - January
The Boy Least Likely To - The Best Party Ever
Sufjan Stevens - Michigan
Man Man - Six Demon Bag

...Okay, mostly I was taking advantage of the thing at insound so I could get a couple free 7" singles. Namely The Boy Least Likely To - Hugging My Grudge and The Arcade Fire - Cold Wind. What can I say.

It'd be pretty stupid to try to pick a favourite or anything, but I'm loving where Man Man is going with their sound. They are definitely moving up.

[Scandanavian War Machine]

most recently i bought um....
Colonel Claypool's Bucket Of Bernie Brains- The Big Eyeball In The Sky
its not bad. alittle disapointing but still good, and solid.
lets see...
Children Of Bodom- Hate Crew Death Roll
instant classic. great album
Andre Nickatina- The Daquiri Factory
decent album. good, unique rap. definately not mtv's idea of hiphop (thank god)
i also recently aquired a whole pile of burned In Flames cds. all of them good. my favorite is a toss-up between Whoracle and the Lunar Strain/Subterranean split.
Modest Mouse-The Lonesome Crowded West. happy to finally get a copy of this one. good stuff.
The White Stripes-Get Behind Me Satan. to me, every white stripes song from every album up to this point has been a 10/10. this album is no exception, although i am considering dropping it to 8/10 or 9/10 simply because its so good that i overplayed it and need to take a break from it.

[Houdinimachine]

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.

This intrigues me...

Check it out. OHHH It's called Electric Reverie. It's not out until March, I got a promo to review for the website I write for.

It's kind of psychotic alt-country.

I have pretty much been on a huge alt-country kick ever since Cash did the cover of Hurt. I will definitely check these guys out.

Going to see Black Rebel Motorcycle Club tonight by the way. Hopefully their stuff holds up live.

[Chad]

recently bought:

Isis - Oceanic, its definitely better than panopticon

apostle of hustle - folkorific feel, had to travel to london to get this on import, love it to pieces

[Kai]

most recently i bought um....
Colonel Claypool's Bucket Of Bernie Brains- The Big Eyeball In The Sky
its not bad. alittle disapointing but still good, and solid.
lets see...

I really liked that album, actually.

[Injektilo]

My last record shop trip found me acquiring

Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit
Out Hud - S.T.R.E.E.T.D.A.D.
Muddy Waters - At Newport 1960

I also got a copy of the first season of Sealab 2021.  I got a free vinyl single of Broken Social Scene's "Ibi Dreams of Pavement" too, for whatever reason.

[Kai]

Sealab wins.

[Bunnyman]

Hmm.  Just picked up three lovely little albums today.

Masta Ace - A Long Hot Summer
This album is schizophrenic as hell.  The first half is apologetic for gangstaism, running like arty (if decidedly un-nerdy) underground rap.  The second half is either love songs or unabashed gangstaism.  I scratch my head mightily.  Lots of fun though.

Amon Tobin - Splinter Cell Chaos Theory OST
Not his most intellectually stimulating work, to be sure, but still showcases his impressive soundscapes.  Absolutely rocking front to back, yet not as tiring as some of his more spastic breakbeats can be.

Autechre - Amber
Very stripped down compared to their later works.  More ambient, at times broaching territory later covered by Boards of Canada.  About track 5, though, my jaw dropped through the floor as some classic Autechre beats hit.  And it was good.

[aleixa]

The latest I've purchased:

Imogen Heap - Speak for Yourself... no, I didn't buy it because I heard it on the OC, it's because I fell for Frou Frou after Garden State.  Call me cliche...

Daphne Loves Derby - On the Strength of All Convinced...found their stuff on purevolume and decided to give it a try. 'sokay.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - (self titled) ... so the lead singer's voice is whiney at first...but it grows on you, and it really does make you want to dance....

[airamek]

Korn - See You On The Other Side

there are so many cds i want to buy right now. i need to buy. but i am so damn broke right now.
