Title: What's the last CD you bought?
Post by: Thunderpants121 on 29 Aug 2007, 10:46
So, what CDs have you gone out and bought, or downloaded, or whatever, recently, or just songs from CDs, for that matter? For me:

The New Pornographers - Challengers
Reel Big Fish - Monkeys for Nothin' And The Chimps For Free

PS Is there a thread like this already I don't know about?

A New Journey  -  Celtic Woman
David's Album  -  Joan Baez
Roses In The Snow  -  Emmylou Harris

An interesting batch, I think.

Most recent acquisitions were:

Painbastard - No Need To Worry
Painbastard - Overkill

Saw this guy at Infest (http://www.infestuk.com) over the weekend and he absolutely blew me away, not sure how I haven't heard this stuff before. Had an older album ages ago which didn't really grab me but the last 2 (these 2) are sublime.

Ulrich Schnauss - Far Away Trains Passing By
Ulrich Schnauss - Goodbye

I love 'A Strangely Isolated Place' so much that I didn't even bother checking to see if he had any other albums for ages. He does and they're amazing.

Northborne - Force It

Really energetic, danceable but satisfyingly dark album. Reminds me a bit of ASCII Disko. Which is a good thing.

Blaqk Audio - CexCells

It's the guy from AFI who've sucked for years and the title is a straight rip-off of an album from 10 years ago so I didn't really have high hopes for this release, but it's actually a real breath of fresh air, nice and original. There's the odd duff track where he forgets he's not in AFI anymore and it goes a bit ballady but generally it's a solid synth release.

Pinback - Autumn of the Seraphs.

Obviously, I didn't buy it. It's the last album I got.
I love it.
I think I just decided to listen to it right now.

This would be Galax's Never Ending Space Trackin. The artwork is amazing. The 'music' not as amazing, but still good. It's basically two japanese guys playing with a tape delay and ring modulator for an hour. Lots of epic swooooooshhhh and whatnot.

Challengers was the most recent album I obtained with the money spent and the legality and all that.

The newest album I have though is Animal Collective's Strawberry Jam.

Okkervil River - The Stage Names
Architecture in Helsinki - Places Like This

The last I got was the new Okkervil River. John Allyn Smith Sails is, in my opinion, the single best song they have ever recorded. <3

Seriously, can we stop calling albums CDs now?

It was a shitty format and it is about to die a well deserved death anyhow. Let's be ahead of the curve with this one.

He's right. The last album I bought was either Spoon, admittedly on CD, or Fugazi, which was on vinyl.

Fascinatingly enough each is available in the other format. Yet in both forms they're referred to as "albums."

I bought the Silver Jews' Tanglewood Numbers, but that was only because I was given a twenty dollar Barnes and Noble gift card and I couldn't think of a book I wanted within that price range (now I want Moneyball, but how would I know then?).

Yes but fuck that.

I don't go to the record store to buy a CD any more than I go to Blockbuster to rent a DVD or to the library to get a paperback or to the art gallery to look at some drawings. I rent movies, I borrow books, I look at artwork and I listen to albums.

I've only ever bought one album, and it was a few months ago, it was the self named "Johnny Boy" album, I bought it becuase I love a song they do called

"you're the generation that bought more shoes, and you get what you deserve"

-a true statement, and a wonderful song.

It's available to listen to on their myspace shin-dig, I just can't remember the url, it's worth a listen methinks.

Bishop Allen: Bishop Allen & the Broken String.

Having heard a pre-release copy of it being played in my regular C.D. shop (sorry, "album shop") some months ago, and having long since forgotten all about it, I was in there the other day and one of the girls who works there said words to the effect of "Oh, by the way, that Bishop Allen C.D. you liked has come in" and showed it to me.

That's customer service, ladies and gentlemen.

While the only "instrument" I can play (sing?) is my voice, and I don't know how I can sepparate it from my body without going mute, I can feel your pain. Re-building a collection that size is going to take a lot of money, and I'm guessing that not all of them are even replaceable, I have some CD's like that.  I'm still shuddering at even the the thought of having to give/sell my collecion... *huggles* there's some comfort for you, because you sound like you need it.
