A trip to the record store yesterday. It was certainly fruitful.

Purchases
The Good Life-Novena on a Nocturne. I've been looking for this one for aaaages, and I'd just never gotten around to buying it online. I was so excited when I found it! It is excellent.[/b]
Regina Spektor-Mary Ann Meets the Gravediggers & Other Short Stories by Regina Spektor. This one was a bit more than I usually like to spend on CD's, but her beautiful voice is worth it.
Notwist-Neon Gold. Pretty good stuff.

This is weird, but I love the feeling of jewel cases when the shrink wrap first comes off. I always take a second to feel it up before I open it and listen.

Fuck yes, The Soviettes.

Um... I think it was Beck's "Sea Change". I'd been meaning to get that album, like, all year. And every time I went to the music store with money in hand, I'd find something else I'd like to buy instead. But finally, this last weekend, I forced myself to get it.

Fuck yes, The Soviettes.

when i went to see them live, i almost got the shit kicked out of me because i wasn't there to see "against me!" or "the epoxies" and i was right up against the barrier. they need to start headlining shows instead of opening them.

destructotroninator · « **Reply #1256 on:** 01 Apr 2006, 10:59 »

Well, Bishop Allen's "February" EP finally arrived in my mailbox yesterday. I will be ordering "March" in a couple days as well. I'm so glad I like this band. It gives me something to look forward to EVERY MONTH this year. That is a win.

Also, I am going to have to order New Sense's EPs. Not only are they The Postal Service on happy pills, but they have two former members of Citizen King. Fucking Citizen King. Holy dear god yes.

Kai · « **Reply #1257 on:** 01 Apr 2006, 11:57 »

Man, I would like, fucking explode to see the Soviettes, Agaisnt Me and the Epoxies in one night.

IS there somethign wrong with Agaisnt Me and the Epoxies?

books_out_loud · « **Reply #1258 on:** 01 Apr 2006, 12:31 »

i didn't know who they were. i was just there with some friends to see the soviettes.

Mogwai - Mr. Beast
John Scofield - Blue Matter
Steely Dan - Alive In America

I don't know why but I after the first two listens to Mr. Beast I am still somewhat underwhelmed by it. Maybe I should listen again.

edit: forget I said anything...can't stop listening to it now

HIGH FIVES!

I retract my high fives. I wanted to go to that show bad, such a good lineup.

As for my latest:
Motion City Soundtrack - Commit This To Memory (finally)
A Wilhelm Scream - Ruiner (don't let the name turn you off, this band's fantastic and very skilled)
Mos Def - The New Danger
Of Montreal - The Sunlandic Twins
Elliott Smith - Either/Or (finally no. 2)

now my eyes are set on getting:
The Lawrence Arms - Oh! Calcutta!
Les Savy Fav - The Cat and the Cobra
and of course completing my Mogwai collection

books_out_loud · « **Reply #1261 on:** 02 Apr 2006, 16:09 »

i didn't really like 'against me!' and 'the epoxies' were kind of unimpressive when i listened to them after that night.

Joseph · « **Reply #1262 on:** 02 Apr 2006, 16:11 »

Huzzah for random HMV raids when you have nothing better to do in a mall!

The Talking Heads - Fear of Music
Primal Scream - Screamadelic
My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything
The Replacements - Tim

Skibas_clavicle · « **Reply #1263 on:** 02 Apr 2006, 16:13 »

I'm not a big Against Me! fan either, but I've been listening to The Epoxies since before they were on Fat Wreck. In fact, Mitch Clem recommended them to me right on this meesage board a long, long time ago. *swoons*

Plus The Soviettes are one of those bands that I think I'd really enjoy live.

books_out_loud · « **Reply #1264 on:** 02 Apr 2006, 16:32 »

they were really cool, though there mics could have been a little louder

Kai · « **Reply #1265 on:** 02 Apr 2006, 16:34 »

Against Me! are great. They're honoestly one of my favorite punk bands around today. Soviettes and Epoxies are on that list too.

It's out now? I'm gonna have to be on the lookout for it.

I saw Zaireeka in jb on tuesday and bought that instead of a jumper. So now I'm cold, but I have an album that I won't listen to for a couple of weeks (until I can arrange something).

Remain in Light - The Talking Heads
The Smiths - The Smiths

My Life In the Bush of Ghosts - Brian Eno & David Byrne

What an excellent batch of albums. Oh except Sonic Youth. That might be good for all I know, I've never listened to them.

My only recent purchase: Sha Sha by Ben Kweller. And it's bloody good too.

It's out, and it's good. Not as good as Yoshimi, but still good. Free Radicals is my personal favorite track from it.

Is Zaireeka worth it? I saw it for $50 today, and I could get it, but I don't know. Seems like a big hassle.

i recently got a promo copy of the minus 5's self-titled (the gun album)

i also got happy songs for happy people and government commissions last week (mogwai, duh)

i also got a free copy of anti-flag's new album (no chance in hell i'd pay money for it)

I officially need another CD case. I could have bought one, but I would rather just keep these in their case and buy more CDs.

The Loon - Tapes 'n Tapes
Return to the Sea - Islands
Nine Times That Same Song - Love Is All
Best Party Ever - the boy least likely to
Everything All The Time - Band of Horses

Again in Tel Aviv:

John Zorn - Godard/Spillane
Erik Truffaz - Face-A-Face (A double CD live concert with both of his groups! AMAZING!)
Ulver - Perdition City
Rockfour - The Man Who Saw Everything (Israeli rock quartet)
Plastico - 951

The band members sold that last album album (which was produced by known artists from the israeli music scene) on the streets for its real value (20 Shekels) insted of selling it through stores which will cost around 60 shekels. That way all of the money goes directly to the artist and nobody get fucked along the way. I thought it was cool and bought the album in from the girl who told me about it and another guy, both band members. Plus we had a nice chat.

Christian Death - Ashes
Pet Shop Boys - Very
Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire - Thrills
Jean-Michel Jarre - Metamorphoses
Ashra - Correlations
Maria Bethania - Simply the Best
Caetano Veloso - S/T (1968)
C+C Music Factory - Gonna Make You Sweat
Steve Spacek - Space Shift

Half of these I found in the clearance section at Amoeba and thus they cost a grand total of $10.

Xerionox · « **Reply #1286 on:** 10 Apr 2006, 15:00 »

Demons & Wizards - "Touched By The Crimson King"
Hypocrisy - "Virus"
Dark Tranquility - "Character"

quite possibly the best round of C.D shopping accomplished by myself. (but that isn't many trips at this point)

Albums I bought today:

Mars Volta - Frances the Mute (about time I reduced the illegality)
Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights (four years too late!)
Nick Cave - Nocturama (I now have every Cave studio album from 1997 onwards, not that anyone cares)
Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding

Well, I needed Bring It On and Rock of Gibraltar, and it was the cheapest one there.

Thrillho · « **Reply #1298 on:** 13 Apr 2006, 15:54 »

You're right. I liked it too much on the first listen for it to survive long.

But it's got some good songs on it.

And Babe, I'm On Fire would be awesome if he'd cut it down to like, five minutes.

Rock of Gibraltar was better live. I wish I'd bought The Good Son instead. At least then I'd have got The Ship Song. I'm going to spend Easter money on that.

Praeserpium Machinarum · « **Reply #1299 on:** 14 Apr 2006, 00:53 »

What do I know really, I have only heard No More Shall We Part and forth, but it just strikes me as a weak album. But yes Rock of Gibraltar is a good song

Which reminds that I desperately need more Nick Cave, lucky then that I am going to a sell/buy/exchange shop tomorrow.
