We had one of these threads before, I think. Gloat, review, complain, etc., about albums you've recently picked up.
I had a very good day at the used shop today, picking up Broken Social Scene's You Forgot It in People (the original Arts & Crafts release!) and British Sea Power's The Decline of British Sea Power for a total of $11.
I've listened to each once already, and I'm looking forward to going back and absorbing more of both pretty soon.
-
Well people have heard me raving about them recently, but I recently acquired The Doves - Lost Souls, which for the most part I think is fantastic. There's no better music to lie back and chill out to. It's very much the kind of stuff you put on after a night out, when you enter the recuperation stages.
-
"You Fail Me" by Converge when it came out last year. I'm a bad little pirate.
It was, is and will always be awesome, though.
-
The last CD I bought was this weekend: Forefather-Ours is the Kingdom. Awesome folky/blackish/epic Anglo-Saxon Metal, with hints of the sort of utterly non-malicious* nationalism that I tend to really appreciate. 'Proud to be Proud' and 'Rebel of the Marshlands' in particular are darn good stuff.
*Unless you happen to be Christian. OURS IS THE KINGDOM! YOUR WELCOME HERE HAS CEASED!

Bright Eyes - Digital Ashes in a Digital Urn for 10 bucks
Pavement 2 disc collectors edition of doom and awesomenesswith like 40 billion extra tracks for 15 bucks
-
Yellow Swans-Dreamed Yellow Swans CD
I've a couple other releases by these guys and this one is my favorite so far. Complex building industrial type drones that sound mathier and more complex than the couple more recent CD-R releases I have. I find it makes good exercise music
V/A Secrets and Sounds of Animal Disguise CD
This is somehow a lot more fun than a noise comp should be. As its 74 minutes a couple of the less interesting songs in the middle do drag a bit. I love the song 'I wish U would push it' by ROTFL a clever take on 'Push It'. The album also seems to contain some in jokes in the form of a tribute to noise artist Mammal on one track. As is normal for such albums there are some rather amusing song titles the best two being "Pimp Stumbles Into Booby Trap" and "This Device is Decaying Right In Front of My Face Plate".
Double Leopards-The Blind Destroyer Mini CD-R
Not as interesting as I hoped. Only had time to listen to it once.
Not listened to due to record player being out of order until recently:
Pengo-A nervous splendor LP
Wolfy Eyes/Panicsville-Stabbed in the Face LP
-
The Killers - Hot Fuss
The Music - Welcome to the North
Snow Patrol - Final Straw
I'm not a fan of the second two so much- The Music tends to bleed out after a while, like their style is so discerned that it's hard for them to break through it and hit you with an actual song rather than actual sound. I mean I'm a fan of the single (Breakin') but other than that it all seems like filler. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I need to listen to it more- but on the first few listens, that was it.
As far as Snow Patrol is concerned I do really like some of the tracks, and others are pretty o.k. 'Chocolate' and 'Run' are great radio singles, but don't really speak for the rest of the albums style. They tend to get a little poppy in a weird way on some tracks.
The Killers I was pretty surprised with. Despite the fact I'd already heard half the album on the radio, there were still some nice little nuggets to digest. The opener has a pretty fantastic bassline and drives you straight into the mood.
Yeah I'm sick of typing.

British Sea Power's The Decline of British Sea Power quote]
british sea power is best band ever. i love them so much.
i just bought Revolver by the Beatles. i'd never gotten around to buying if before.
-
i just got A3's exile on coldharbour lane today. it's the greatest...ummm...sweet pretty country gospel acid house musick on the planet. crazy guys from alabama taking their down home gospel & blues influënces and making semi-electronic weirdness with them. yum.
and these aren't quite purchases, because they were free downloads from the bands sites, but hindu pez's* stopping the ministry ov peace is fun if you're into over the top noisy digital hardcore, and scanner's** case is odd little electronic vignettes, plus scanner's surface noise is an interesting (and very soothing) experiment.

Snow Patrol really bore me...they're too quiet to be engaging but too loud to be soft-spoken; they have a weird, kind of angular tune that lacks personality.
I was also surprised with The Killers. While I don't really like "Somebody Told Me" as much as others seem to, "Mr. Brightside" is a wonderful song.
The last album I bought was Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation a few weeks ago, and I'm totally going to buy a CD or two this weekend.
-
Last album I bought was The Residents - Meet The Residents. Green Vinyll. wewt.
-
argh, got alot of new albums recently

I love British Sea Power!
They have a new album out soon...
I've avoided spending any money on music for a while as A- I'm skint and B - I get a fair bit sent for free - The Arcade Fire, Rilo Kiley, Bloc Party, Death in Vegas, Dogs...
I love my job soooo much.
-
i love buying new vinyl records.
last bought was a week ago.
big black - songs about fucking
husker du - zen arcade
fugazi - steady diet of nothing
-
I love British Sea Power!
You were talking about them recently, weren't you?
I'd heard of them before, but the main reason I picked it up (well, in addition to it being cheap) was 'cause I remembered someone here said it was one of their favorite albums.
-
making plans to pick up Embrace - "Embrace". Ian McKaye keeps stealing my money.
-
last album I *bought* was A Dozen Furies ep. Typical metal-core stuff, but I really enjoy it. They're good at what they do.
Last album I *got* was was "Picaresque" by The Decemberists. Only listened to it once so far but my initial impression is "Not as good as the last 3 releases" but I need to listen to it a few more times before I make a final opinion.
and I must applaud Arkturas. Daydream Nation is an album everyone should own, whether they are Sonic Youth fnas or not.
-
Nine Inch Nails - Downward Spiral
Soundgarden - Superunknown
-
making plans to pick up Embrace - "Embrace". Ian McKaye keeps stealing my money.
im a big dischord fan :D
got embrace lp, rites of spring lp, about 5 fugazi...q and not u, black eyes, faraquet ,etc .... one of the best labels ever.
i keep giving mckaye money too.
-
Roots Maunva - Awfully Deep
Awesome album. It's getting mad love as well, I've seen 2 or 3 'best album of the week' reviews. We're talking national newspapers here as well, nothing indie. Looks like he might finally get the recognition he deserves.

Just got the new Lemon Jelly album, which is a little different from their first two. Apparently the DVD version is even better - has animation videos for each track on the album - sort of Yellow Submarine-like.
US Lemon Jelly site (http://www.beggars.com/us/lemonjelly/2005/64-95/lemonjelly.html)
UK Lemon Jelly site (http://www.lemonjelly.ky)

Matador's reissue of Crooked Rain Crooked Rain by Pavement, which is about thirty levels of fantastic wrapped up in fifty tracks. Do yourself a favour and spend $17 bucks to get those gold soundz.
DID YOU SEE I MADE A REFERENCE TO THE ALBUM HOW CLEVER
EDIT: God I am an idiot. Slanted And Enchanted? I do not think.
-
Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge - My Chemical Romance
OMG! I bet you jack off to back-issues of Kerrang! and have all of Good Charlottes albums.
Actually, I quite like MCR. They were my first proper gig.
-
just got some cds for the first time in forever today:
american football - american football
broken social scene - you forgot it in people
tortoise - TNT
-
My last CD purchase was the Burl Ives soundtrack to "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."
I need to get on this music thing.

Pixies - Wave of Mutilation
Weezer - Maladroit
Pearl Jam - Rearviewmirror
The Killers - Hot Fuss
Radiohead: Pablo Honey, My Iron Lung (EP), The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail To The Thief

It is true that you can not go wrong with owning the Radiohead catalogue.
-
All you need now is Itch, Airbag/How Am I Driving?, I Might Be Wrong and Com Lag: 2+2=5 :)
-

Hanzel und Gretyl : Ãœber Alles
it's not actually a recent purchase (i got it about half a year ago), but i reallymust recommend it. this CD has gotten me laid twice.

They didn't have the other two you suggested :(

NOFX - Punk in Drublic
NOFX - S&M Airlines

They didn't have the other two you suggested :(
Three:
Itch (Pablo Honey era Japanese import)
I Might Be Wrong (Live songs)
Com Lag: 2+2=5 (Hail To The Thief era Japanese import)
Itch is pretty hard to find, and usually quite expensive. I Might Be Wrong should be pretty readily available though
-
Hanzel und Gretyl : Ãœber Alles
it's not actually a recent purchase (i got it about half a year ago), but i reallymust recommend it. this CD has gotten me laid twice.
Not to discredit this particular impetus for recommending music, but I will say that's kinda a weird lead-in to teh sex. Either than or you just hang out with very different people than I do.
-
Radiohead: Itch
I havn't listened to it yet, but I will soon. Still can't find those other two.

Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge - My Chemical Romance
Actually, I quite like MCR. They were my first proper gig.
They're not usually my thing actually, being the hardcore metal head that I am, but they're a surprisingly decent band. I'm rather fond of TCfSR. Pretty good album.
-
My most recent purchase was The Fiery Furnaces' Blueberry Boat album.
Pure audio crack. I can't stop listening to this album. It's like Charlie Brown meets Bjork.
"My Dog Was Lost ..." must have been inspired by Snoopy dancing.
Edit: Except maybe for "Mason City"
There's some conflicting percussions in that song that make my brain stop.
-
My parents give me £200 a month for, like, food and stuff. It came through on Friday. Yesterday, I bought:
Hejira - Joni Mitchell
Mingus Ah Um - Charles Mingus
If I Should Fall From Grace With God - The Pogues

Small Change - Tom Waits
Moon Safari - Air
and
If You're Feeling Sinister - Belle and Sebastian
"Fox in the snow...fox in the snow..."

the KLF : Justified & Ancient
skip it unless you're a total KLF-whore.
New Order : Brotherhood
this is such a pretty CD.  it soothes me.
Numb : Blind
hard floor mixes.  droolage.
Numb : Blood Meridian
not all i'd hoped for, but still a really good electro-industrial CD.
Sheep on Drugs : Never Mind the Methadone
do you like remixes?  do you like sheep on drugs?  then you need this CD!
4 Hero : Mr. Kirk
is it wrong that this song makes me laugh?
-
Defiance, Ohio-Defiance, Ohio
Fold punk! Yay! Seriously, they are a really good band, and incredibly cool, nice people. Road Signs Always Look Better Looking Over Your Shoulder is exactly how I feel right now, too, and that's always good.
-
The Hives - Veni Vidi Vicious
I have never danced so hard while vacuuming in my life!
-
i just bought Mudvayne - The beginning of all things to end.
:) awesome album :)

Yeah, I know what you mean. I tend to like them a lot more than a lot of the other emo-type bands they're grouped with. This I found out when one of my friends found out I liked them and spent ages trying to introduce me to 'better' emo bands. I still have the scars (and the Funeral for a Friend CDs) to prove it.
No CD's this weekend because I went to an awesome concert (Rammstein supported b Apocalyptica: fucking amazing show), unless you count the samplers of Battle Metal and Earache records bands I got from the front of an issue of Metal Hammer, who for once decided to live up to their name: picture of Rob Halford in a big leather jacket making two horns salutes on the front cover and a couple of CD's full of true metal. They still had an interview with Ville Valo though. I really don't know how they get one EVERY MONTH.
They also called Atreyu goth. People just make me angry sometimes.

Bought Nine Inch Nails' Pretty Hate Machine off my friend for 3 dollars. He hated it.
-
Numb : Blood Meridian

I really like that disc.
I bought Stars' Heart this weekend.
-

how is that even possible?
not a purchase, but i now have almost every people like us track.  i really don't know why this stuff makes me so happy.
-
Just bought The Libertines as a gift for myself for pulling an almost-all-nighter to study. I've only heard it once yet, and I enjoyed it.
-

the lead singer's voice will rape your face off

Kasabian - Kasabian

Yeah, ok, you'll have to trust me on this, SOME of the songs on Tourist are quite good...

Bought Nine Inch Nails' Pretty Hate Machine off my friend for 3 dollars. He hated it.
how is that even possible?
I don't think it's possible, but I'm not complaining. I'm all for people hating music if I get their cds for cheap.
-
Pinback - Summer in Abaddon
Death From Above 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine.
Circuit city for some reason had both of these cds for 6 bones each. I don't know how they got there, or why they were that cheap, but I'm not complaining.
-
Paul Simon- Graceland
Oldie but a goodie
-
Rheostatics: Introducing Happiness
Rheostatics: Melville
Rheostatics: 2067
Flaming Lips: Yoshimi Battles the Giant Robot
-
The Killers: Hot Fuss
- already been reviewed here, awesome.
Thirteen Senses: The Invitation
- bought on spec, knew only track one (into the fire) haven't found the 'other' tracks yet but I'm thinking it may only be track two (thru the glass,) on my fourth listen now, getting something of a negative feeling about this purchase, it's all seeming a bit same-y and unexciting after the first two tracks. Maybe all it needs is time.
-
i envy you KharBevNor. i love Apocalyptica and Rammstein too...
the latest cd i bought was sonic youth - sonic nurse... i will probably buy another of their albums pretty soon, or maybe the new apocalyptica
-
Sorry Rynne, I completely missed your post, even though it was aaaages ago!
- I think there are a few more people on this board who like british sea power, but I have been well and truly owned by Eamon's 'other' project, Brakes - I saw them last night for the second time and I swear they are the most fantastic thing to happen to music - they have singles which last anything from 26 seconds to 3 minutes and they're all immense...
Ok, I'll stop with the plugging now, as they don't have an album out yet..
I did get the new album from The Tenderfoot, though, which is nice enough.
-
Jesu - s/t
Converge - You Fail Me
Isis - Panopticon
The Album Leaf - In A Safe Place
I found a copy of NIN's Further Down the Spiral import with a couple different remixes for cheep, so I picked that up too.
-
Read Yellow - "Radios Burn Faster"
Dillinger Escape Plan - "Calculating Infinity"
-
Ok, I didnt buy this cd per se, but it is new to me:
Kittens and Thee Glitz - Felix da Housecat
P.S. Dillinger Escape Plan = DYNO-MITE!
-
damn straight DEP is dynamite. i saw them last night and im still on a personal high from it. god damn that was off the charts.
-
I got gifted: ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead's new album was given to my by a buddy of mine who had to review it for a local publication. He had already purchased it, so he gave me the new copy.
It is very good and a lot different than what I expected it to be. Also, Pitchfork's reviewer said that Trail Of The Dead's singer is the worst in modern rock (I am paraphrasing, but not much). To this I reply that Pitchfork's reviewers are fools.
-
Underoath- Where only chaseing safety

Currently awaiting the delivery of:

Lou Reed - Magic and Loss
Turing Machine - Zwei
Enon - High Society
Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die
The Walkmen - Bows and Arrows
I did good.
-
Charalambides-Unknown Spin
Not quite as good as I hope but still pretty good. Makes good writing music, quiet extended improv with wordless vocals. The track Magnolia is really good. I think I need a cold night were I feel warm and comfy to really appreciate this.
Tanakh-S/T
I probably should have started with one of Tanakhs releases that has actual songs on it. This album has two disk with one song on each. The Muisc is mostly improvization built around an instrument built from the remains of a destroyed piano with accompaniments.

from your reviews, i think i want both ov those. where can i get them?
the Cure : Faith
not bad, but not particularly good, either. i adore the cure, but this album left me wishing i'd bought joy division's closer instead (that's what i had in my hand when i spotted 'faith').
Nine Inch Nails : the Downward Spiral : Deluxe Edition
the redone artwork is amazing. i can't say anything about the 5.1 mix, because i don't have a surround system. the second disc is yummy, but most ov the tracks are available elsewhere (and i really wish that, if they had to üse tracks from further down, they could've at least üsed tracks that were only on the french öne, 'cause mine's in shit shape). as for the three demos, 'ruiner' was interesting, but after the first minute it sounds almost exaclty like the final version, 'liar' (reptile) sounds thee exact same, except the vocals and some ov the sampling are rougher, and 'heresy' is quite an interesting look at the process--whispery vocals instead ov screamy, and more groove than noise overall.
Nine Inch Nails : the Fragile
to replace my fucked up copy. to anyöne who does not already know: you must obtain the fragile. it's beautiful.
Nine Inch Nails : Leaving Hope
this is actually something i put together myself--two CDs ov some ov the prettiëst nine inch nails songs. if anyöne's curious, i'll post the tracklist.
Sigur Ros
i only bought it because a few people have mentioned them to me. i had no idea what to expect. i'm listening to it now, and this is really pretty. i like. it soothes me.
-
Yah, Faith isn't the greatest Cure album, I've gotta say my favourite is either Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Bloodflowers or Wish.
JOY DIVISION = Teh SEX
-
The Walkmen - Bows and arrows
Ride - Nowhere
Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism
The Walkmen are not as good as I'd hoped having heard the singles, they've got some nice blissed out guitars but the singer's voice doesn't go with it at all.
Liked Transatlanticim on first listen, haven't listened to Ride yet.
-

Actually, Funeral For A Friend can write some good riffs when they really want to. I must say their first EP was way better, if you ask me, though. More screams = better, at least in my world.
-
To be perfectly honest I can't remember what the last record I bought was. I'll have to think for a spell.
*rusty wheels turn*
Hmm, it might have been The Bronx's debut album actually. I'm still not sure.
I sure as hell know what my next purchase will be though. Håkan Hellstöm's Ett Kolikbarns Bekännelser is released on the sixteenth I think. Actually, I couldn't wait untill then so I 'aquired' it from other sources just the other day - and it was bloody brilliant, it was. Can't wait to get it 'for real'.

I have Casually Dressed and Deep in Conversation and Between Order and Model. I must admit I like a few of their songs, but a lot of it gets too samey for me. '10:45 Amsterdam Conversation' is my fave by them.
Yesterday I had the good fortune to purchase 3 Inches of Blood-Advance and Vanquish Although I've already heard it all, it was still fucking awesome. The entire feel of the album can be summed up by the first thirty seconds. 'Fear on the Bridge (Upon the Boiling Sea part 1)' starts with the sound of a fuse running down, followed by a cannon shot before instantly breaking in with intense, old-school metal riffing over metalcore screams before Cam Pipes, who sounds somewhat like Judas Priest front-man Rob Halford after swallowing a cheese-grater, screams: "TORMENTS! From the pits of HELL! In the seas where PIRATES dwell! The Armada sets its course, shadowed by SKULL and crossboned FORCE!". The album continues in much the same vein: A fusion of total 80's metal worship (Mercyful Fate, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Running Wild etc.) combined with ultra-slick modern production and encased in a thin sheen of modern brutality by the inclusion of the metalcore singer. It's got Orcs, Barbarians, Pirates, Cyborg death-robots from the year 4055, a 'Crush the enemies of metal' song (Deadly Sinners), a 'Glories of Metal' song (Crazy Nights)...In this era of NWOSDM, 'New-thrash' and prog-metal, this is the most refreshing thing imaginable to a metal-fan such as myself.

Lou Reed -Wild Child (double vinyl)
-lofin
-
Pan Sonic-Kesto
Been trying to get this beast for ages. I have listened to all of it but I was really drunk when I popped in the last two disks (The last disk which is on 60 minute ambient piece was awesome. Starting my second listen now. The whole album is dark ambient/industrial tinged stuff with no vocals or samples but it nonetheless has incredible variety to it.
Kid 606-Kill Sound Before Sound Kills You
This was a totally random purchase. I was taking a quick look through the used CD store and thought, hey what the heck I heard a couple tracks by this? Its actually pretty good even. Pretty insane techno that meanders all over the place with a ton of samples and such.
Malice Afterthought:
I buy a lot of my stuff from www.midheaven.com (click on midheaven mailorder). Thats were I got the other two releases I posted about from. There are a couple full length charalambides MP3s at http://www.betterpropaganda.com/artist_page.asp?id=97. Don't know were you could hear the tanakh album though there are some samples of their older stuff hidden away on theirs lable's site at http://www.alien8recordings.com/tanakh.php3.
-
yay! thank you!
-
I bought The Secret Migration from Mercury Rev, it's very different from what I'm used to and I'm still forming my opinion about it. It was pretty much an impulsive buy, as I went to the store to buy either Arcade Fire or Album Leaf, but they weren't there, The Secret Migration was on one of those things where you can hear the cd and I liked the first song...
From the first listening I can say I like the instrumentals, but the lyrics seem to be a bit naive... it's growing on me, thought...
-
Kid 606-Kill Sound Before Sound Kills You
Kid 606 is most badass, and that album is one of his best. Total Recovery is Possible is one the best glitch songs ever. At least, it is if you're a pussy like me and like songs to have something aproximating a cohesive rhythm in there somewhere (Unlike some Venetian Snares or Mindflayer for example).
Anyway, my last album purchase was Sage Francis - A Healthy Distrust. I acquired a advance promo 2 months or so ago, but I still can't wait for the real deal to arrive, especially as it's on vinyl. It's hellacious, I tell thee.
-
I bought The Secret Migration from Mercury Rev
I have a burned copy of this and yeah... it is rather different though I do like it... the first half is best... especially 'vermillion' despite the bird sound effect.. that was slightly cheesy.
---
My latest purchases were:
Low - The Great Destroyer
..I enjoyed it; was a bit apprehensive at first when I heard it got some bad reviews, but the few songs I sampled before getting the album convinced me enough. sure, they're a bit more poppy and less like their old sound, but still enjoyable.
Lou Barlow - Emoh
..this one may take a second listen, but I did enjoy some of it. nice little folky tunes. the last track about the cat was cute.
bonnie 'prince' billy - Superwolf
..this was better than I even expected it to be... the addition of Sweeney I could distinguish right away.. it had a different guitar element added to it which added depth. very good reading music.
---
Also, being the not so moralistic person I am, I dled a few albums in advance this weekend:
British Sea Power - Open Season
The Decemberists - Picaresque
The Books - Lost and Safe
Out Hud - let us never speak of it again
Not to mention getting ASMZ - Horses in the sky a couple weeks ago... I've listened to this daily since then... magnificent.. I cannot wait till its release; I've seen that the packaging is good.
-
I've been told that if I'm really good, I might get my very own copy of Open Season this weekend, which makes me very happy, but should also be getting Brakes album...roll on the weekend!

Gadget budget has disappeared, so I've been buying CDs.
Fatboy Slim - Palookaville (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=25509800) (Bought it for Wonderful Night (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=25509800&selectedItemId=25509720) as used in the Olympus Stylus Verve (http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_product_lobbypage.asp?l=1&p=16&bc=27&product=1130) commercials, but it's a pretty good album.)
Handsome Boy Modeling School - White People (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=28044112)
Handsome Boy Modeling School - So... How's Your Girl?

Metallica-Load
Rammstein-Mutter
AC/DC-For Those About to Rock... (We Salute You)
The Metallica CD was pretty good, Had some great songs, some that sucked, and some in-betweeners. So not the greatest, but they ARE my favorite band. I'd give it a 4/5
AC/DC is great. I'm just starting to seriously start listening to albums for that far back, even though I have listened to Queen and Pink Floyd stuff the prerequisite number of times. But anyway, the first song (for those about to rock) has got to be one of the best show-starters ever. I mean... cannons! Rest of the CD is pretty cookie-cutter AC/DC stuff. 4/5
Rammstein-Mutter has quickly become one of the best albums Ive listened to. It is their best. There is not a single song on here that isnt either head-bang inducing (Links 2, 3, 4), or hauntingly beautiful (Sonne). They are now my 2nd favorite band. 5/5!
-
Franz Ferdinand-self titled
BOC - Dont fear the reaper
Queen - Red and Blue "best of" albums
hmmmm, i think my taste is a bit 'old-school' huh?
-
Got a pretty sweet deal, two Stormtroopers of Death albums ('Speak English or Die' and 'Live at Budokan') for only £9.99.
Some fucking cool songs on there. 'March of the S.O.D.', 'Seargeant D and the S.O.D.' , 'Milk', 'Kill Yourself' and the title track. Their live Ministry covers are pretty nice too. Lyrics range from the absurd, to the stupid, to the hyper-offensive.
All good fun ^_^
-
I bought three cds this afternoon:
Mogway - Happy Songs for Happy People: the only one that i've heard so far, and i'm finding it amazing.
Radiohead - Kid A: the one I was missing, still haven't listened to it.
Godspeed you! Black Emperor - Lift your skinny fists like antenas to the sky: still haven't listened to it.
-
I got the New Order(new one)today- I'm kind of reluctant to listen to it unless it turns out to be terrible, or just boring..and got the new album from The Bravery, but haven't had a chance to listen to that either..
-
Dälek - Absence
Holy crap, this is cool. These guys are hip-hop, but the production doesn't sound a thing like it. The main feature of the production is freakin' huge waves of processed synths/guitars/strings that recall My Bloodly Valentine or The Downward Spiral-era Nine Inch Nails.
-
Casually Dressed and Deep in Conversation
I bought this one when I saw it in a music store and expected, say, Mogwai-ish stuff from the cover. I have learned how to judge covers since then.
That having been said, I enjoyed Casually Dressed and Deep in Conversation. A lot of it did indeed sound same-y, but "Your Revolution Is A Joke" blew me away.
joy division's closer instead (that's what i had in my hand when i spotted 'faith').
Joy Division kicks so much ass. Go with it next time. Also, Sigur Ros = more teh sex.
-
The last album I bought was Led Zeppelin's How The West Was Won.
It's amazing. *hails teh mighty zep*
-
I would have this right now:
(http://www.whisperinandhollerin.com/images/uploaded/reviews/animallove-11-2-2005-24-2-1.jpg)
But it was either delayed or my CD Store sucks.
-
Got Nightwish, "Bless the Child" today. It's a lot better than I thought it would be.
-
Andre Ethier with Christopher Sanders featuring Pickles and Price.
Fucking sweet.
-
I just picked up the following a little while ago-
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Megadeth - Countdown To Extinction
Joe Satriani - Crystal Planet
Steve Vai - The Infinite Anthology
Rush - Retrospective 1974 - 1980
I likes them all

*gives you a big thumbs up*
Bless the Child is actually almost the only nightwish release I don't possess (not physically anyway)
-
The same friend of mine who gave me ...Trail Of Dead's new CD got a copy of Here Come The ABCs by They Might Be Giants on this round of reviews. Having listened to it, I defend it to the death.
-
I got a double cd of guitar recordings by Andres Segovia; and I bought some piano music for four hands by Debussy.
-
Oh yes, I have the new album from Brakes (Brighton supergroup)...this band is soooooo good..
Sample lyrics:
'Cheney, Cheney, Cheney, STOP BEING SUCH A DICK!'(that song lasts 10 seconds), and their ode to The Others, 'I heard about your band' :
'I heard about your band, I couldn't help it as you were screaming in my ear, coked up asshole...' made all the more entertaining by the fact they played a gig together last week... I love Brighton and the bands it produces!
-
Just bought "The Stolen Shots" album. It's...not very good though.
-
Last purchases....
*thinks*
Frances the Mute by the Mars Volta. It's good. I think. Its a bit hard to tell, its even more 'prog' and radio unfriendly than 'Deloused in the Comatorium', but it does seem good. I think I'll really have to sit down and listen to it properly to get a good handle on it
Silent Alarm by Bloc Party. I saw that this had entered at like no. 5 in the UK charts, which is awsome, as it means loads of people went out and bought it. Truly, truly amazing album, and hopefully a good indicator of the quality of 'Sound of 2005'
Crimes by the Blood Brothers. Bought because it was cheap. Good, not what I was expecting - very very manic, shouty/screamy but not in a totally inpenetratable way.
And respect for Funeral For A Friend. [hipster] I saw them back in the day before they got big... [/hipster]
Count
-
I have several LPs sitting next to me right now that I won't be able to play till the weekend. They are:
Jack Rose-Opium Musick LP
16 Bitch Pile Up/Sword Heaven-Come Here Sandy split LP
Joanna Newsom-The Milk Eyed Mender LP (have got a burnt CD-R, tis very good indeed)
Probably get another package in the mail at the end of the week from midheaven, I blew my state refund on records. Not sure exactly what'll be in it as I think they ended up useing some of my alternate choices.
-
I just got Cat Spectacular! by Bearsuit, which is totally awesome.
-
Elegy, by the Nice- a birthday present for my dad.
Before that... well, I forget. I tend to wander down to my local vinyl shops every fortnight or so... and buy up all their cheap records (as a result, my collection is very cheap, and very strange)
-
I found 20 bucks 2 days ago in a pair of pants I havent washed (or worn) in months, so I bought a sandwich a super cheap copy of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins. *Does happy dance*
-
Håkan Hellström - Ett Kolikbarns Bekännelser
MUAHAHA! FINALLY!
My preciousssssss....
*happyhappysadsad*
-
Franz Ferdinand - Self-titled
Killers - Hot Fuss
Guns N Roses - Greatest Hits
When I bought GnR and opened the case, that really messed with me: the top of the CD looks all scratched. I've listened to GnR since I was a young 'un, and any version Axl trys to put out nowadays is not the true thing to me. Damn that man and his ego...
The Killers I bought on a whim. I kind of liked 'Mr. Brightside' and 'Somebody Told Me'. Is it just me, or did the entire CD sound 80's-inspired? (Synth-heavy, etc.)
Franz Ferdinad I just bought, also on a whim. Haven't had a chance to solidly listen to it yet, but sampling some of it on my way home, it sounded like a damn good band.
Rammstein-Mutter has quickly become one of the best albums Ive listened to. It is their best. There is not a single song on here that isnt either head-bang inducing (Links 2, 3, 4), or hauntingly beautiful (Sonne). They are now my 2nd favorite band. 5/5!
My sister got me into Rammstein by getting me Mutter for Xmas one year. It and Sehnsucht are pretty kickass-CDs. I've also got their single Amerika my newest mix CD. A band like Rammstein's even better when you know German. ^_~
-
I just bought the new Armor for Sleep CD. It's nice.
-
Kaki King - Legs to Make Us Longer (Ok. This is a MUST own if you like solo guitar music or appreciate genius at all.)
Le Tigre - This Island (Definitely not as good as their other stuff, but it's still pretty rockin')
Catrin Finch & Karl Jenkins - Crossing the Stone (It's harp music and very pretty. She's talented.)
Moxy Fruvous - Video Bargainville (A classic. But if you've never heard Moxy you should start with something like You Will Go To The Moon)
-
I just got the new album from The Boxer Rebellion.
I have a soft spot for them after I threw up on the drummer, and kind of wanted to like it out of sympathy, but it sounds like a third rate Kasabian.
Oh well.
-
I'm contemplating whether I should buy Isis' Panopticon, or continue being a dirty download-scum who leeches of off all talented people.
On the other hand, that would mean parting with money. Money I don't have. Bloody CSN... *rawr*
-
Michael Martin Murphey - Cowboy Songs III: Rhymes of the Renagades
John Anderson - Greatest Hits
-
Death Cab for Cutie : Transatlanticism. Awe worthy. Beautiful...
and
3 Doors Down : Seventeen Days. ... Not sure about this
Loved their first cd, liked their second, undecided on the third...
-
Just got my lush, special edition copy of Star One's 'Space Metal' album.
I have only one thing to say.
"Seven fighters! Navigators! INTERGALACTIC SPACE CRUSADERS!! Federation! Dictators! No Scruples, LETHAL TRAITORS!! Outriders! Invaders! INTERGALACTIC SPACE CRUSADERS!!"
*headbangs madly whilst air-guitaring and air-synthing insane prog-rock solos.*
-
I got like four CDs in one day, but not on purpose. I had preordered one from Jade Tree records, and ordered another two from Lookout records quite a while ago. They both arrived on the same day, and I had purchased a CD that very day as well.
so...
Paint it Black - Paradise
Walking Concert - Run to be Born
Crimpshrine - Sound of a New World Being Born
Pinhead Gunpowder - Jump Salty
the second CD there, Walking Concert...theres quite a few songs on there that are catchier than syphillis at a back alley brothel.
-
The last album I bought was Led Zeppelin's How The West Was Won.
It's amazing. *hails teh mighty zep*
bows to jimmy page's m4d sk1llz, john bonam's bassiness, john paul jone's kick ass drumming and robert plant's......oversized balls

foo fighters- the colour and the shape

Jack Rose-Opium Musick LP
Its just a guy with an acoustic and no vocals but its so lovely. Really soothing stuff. Quite hard to describe.
Growing-The Skies Run Into the Sea DLP
These guys have kinda been my fave band lately. Their stuff is really soothing and otherworldy without drawing you into the realm of sleep and they get some rather interesting sounds out of mostly a guitar and bass. Their attempt at vocals on side three is rather diasastrous though. Otherwise lovely cept there seem to be a couple crackles on the vinyl from factory dust. Need to get something better to clean my records off.
Charalambides-Joy Shapes DLP
Another lovely somewhat gossammer record. Their singer Cristina Carter's vocals are quite beautiful. The music nonetheless has quite an un-nerving anxious quality to it that doesn't make this an entirely easy listen.
Skullflower-Exquisite Fucking Boredom CD
3 of the six tracks on this disk are re-workings of the first which is a 12 minute super-repetitive stoner drone riff but a most awesome one. This album is incredibly loud and pauseing it for a moment made the room sound strangely empty. The remaining two tracks are heavy cosmic excursions. I've actually found it difficult to listen to the last track as its so offputting in its frequencies despite being pretty resistant to noise.
16 Bitch Pile Up/Sword Heaven-Come Here Sandy LP
Was kinda bored by the Sword heaven side until it went all insane in a stifling despair manner. 16 Bitch Pile Up side is an OK live noise recording.
-
Just got the word on how much the Man owes me, so...
Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street 2LP
Sticky Fingers is my favorite from the Stones, but this follow up from '72 has got a lot of great blues covers, and there's a rough style to the tracks that I love so much more than their '60s sound.
The Modern Lovers - Self-titled LP
Great re-pressing I found of their debut album. Jon Richman on lead might be recognizable as the melodic narrator from There's Something About Mary.
The Trashmen - Surfin' Bird LP
You can't beat surf music. Love these tunes, great for parties. "Ahhh, well everybody's heard about the bird...ba-ba-ba-bird-bird-bird's the word"
Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out of My Head
Couldn't pass it up, the groove is just too damn catchy.
-
Last one I bought was the Mars Volta - Deloused in the comatorium.
Dont buy many albums, too poor - i just listen to stuff my dad buys. Lucky for me, he has pretty good music taste.
-
Tori Amos - The Beekeeper - Disappointingly mediocre, especially as a follow up to her very very good previous album "Scarlet's Walk". I've been a Tori fan for quite a while now, and Scarlet's gave me hope in her again, after a string of disappointing releases. That hope is now lost.
Ani Difranco - Knuckle Down - Very, very, very good. Nothing ground breaking in regards to Ani's musical evolution, but she's brought back a lot of great instrumentation (i.e - it's not just herplaying everything again, like on "Educated Guess"), creating a nice blend of sounds. Sorta like if "REvelling and Reckoning" made whoopie with "Evolve". Plus, this album features a guest musicial by the name of Andrew Bird on the Violin, Glockenspiel, and...Whistling. If you like Ani, you'll like this album. If you hate Ani, you'll still hate her.
And speaking of...
Andrew Bird - The Mysterious Production Of Eggs - Ok, so I haven't *technically* bought this yet. But I'm gonna! There's really only one word to describe it - Tremendous. I caught Bird opening for Ani a couple weeks ago and was just blown away. Imagine, if you would, that we are in Bizarro World. And in Bizarro World, Jeff Buckley is still alive. And ecclecticly weird, and....Happy. Well thats pretty much Bird. This album is a must listen for anyone who enjoys creativity and having a good time.
Open:Hand - You and Me - Anyone who knew me 3 years ago knows that the only things I ever talked about were drugs, parties, and Open:Hand. Well, I'm clean now, and I dont really go to the raves anymore, but Open:Hand has returned to my life after a near and total breakup (Justin Ishram, the creative force of the band, is the only original member remaining). True to form, the band continues on its musical evolution, and "You and Me" brings what will probably be Justin's defining record to the table. Open:Hand has developed into a solid, well rounded, emotionally charged rock band, with some really great song structures, blending straight up rock and roll with hints of pop, sludge, and "stoner rock". You can check out their video for "Tough Girl" on the Trustkill website - www.trustkill.com (but just a heads up, Trustkill is hardcore label, but if hardcore aint your thing, don't worry, Open:Hand is far from hardcore).
-
ben folds 5, yeeee
-
The Mars Volta - "Frances The Mute" should be here soon.
-
this past week has been öne long splurge, so this will take awhile...
Busta Rhymes : the Best ov : Total Destruction
continuïng my journey into rap. he's so much fun, and unlike most rappers he actually fucking enunciates. it makes some ov his raps sound a bit awkward, but at least you can understand him.
Cabaret Voltaire : Radiation
it's cabaret voltaire; how can i possibly describe it? the best i can do is, imagine if dada was a musickal rather than a visual thing.
Clint Mansell : Requiem for a Dream (Remixed)
this is what i'd wanted from the original--longish, coherent pieces. all the bad things about the original have been done away with, plus there are some phat beats & riddims, yo.
Coil : Black Antlers
slightly disappointing, but still rather good. especially their cover ov 'all the pretty little horses.' so amazingly pretty. some ov the programming on 'sex with sun ra' reminds me ov old-school cabaret voltaire.
the Cure : Live
assortment ov live recordings from the early '90s. good stuff. 'the forest' goes on for almost nine minutes, with a new verse added during the end sequence.
the Cure : the Walk
live albumfrom 1984 = the cure near the tope ov their form.
Dälek : Absence
got it because ov people hearing saying they're yummy. low-fi hip-hop with an industrial kit is for yes.
Dir en grey : ~~
the title is two japanese characters, but i don't speak japanese and i don't have a japanese language pack on this computer. but anyway. i got this (and all the other japanese CDs listed further down) at megacon this weekend, so i haven't gotten to listen to them much yet. it's really good, but then, dir en grey's work always is.
Dir en grey : Vulgar
also very good. better than the öne listed above, actually. darker and more forceful. it came with a DVD containing the video for 'vulgar.' imagine marilyn manson at their most disturbing (video-wise, i mean; their visuals are üsually more disturbing than their lyrics; same for dir en grey). now make it a bit more disturbing. throw in a demonic geisha girl. my god, it's amazing. i took 11 screenshots from it for üse as desktops. it's that good.
Faith Massive : Drum & Bass for the Masses
this wasn't actually a new purchase; i've had it for years but turned it up just last week. christian drum & bass. pretty good stuff overall.
Gackt : Last Song
very pretty, but not quite what i'd wanted. either his newer work has toned down a fair bit fromwhat i've heard, or mymemory deceives me.
Gracious Shades : Aberkash
industrial with angst instead ov just pissiness. good stuff.
Malice Mizer : Garnet ~~~~~~~
good, but not all i'd expected. they get too much hype just because they're so goddamned cute.
Missy Misdemeanor Elliott : Miss E...So Adictive
disappointing. i only like about a quarter ov the album. i never knew she did so much R&B; i pretty much only like her morerap-oriënted stuff.
Moi dix Mois : Dialogue Symphonie
another band run by mana (from malice mizer). where malice mizer disappointed me, moi dix mois blew me away. they're fucking amazing.
Moi dix Mois : Nocturnal Opera
oh. my. god. harpsichord-synth, occasional violin...hell, everything about this album is wonderful. the visuals are a bit melodramatic, but oh well. the guys are all hot and anyway they've got the talent to back up their over-the-top visuals.
Portishead : Dummy
i finally decided to get myself a portishead collection. i can't possibly do them justice with a description.
Portishead : Portishead
even better than dummy. complete and total droolage.
Portishead : Sour Times (Nobody Loves Me)
quirky as hell. the remixes are all named like B-sides, and their's an extra remix stuck on the end ov the third track. the musick, though, is yummy as always.
Shadow : Hard Sessions
deep drum & bass compilation. yummy stuff overall, but droid are disappointing. they have a good concept in theory, but öne that really noöne could make work.
Shadow : Hard Sessions 2
not as good as the first öne. still good, though.
Sigur Rós : Agætis Byrjun
not quite as good as the self-titled, but it's still absolutely beautiful, so that's really splitting hairs.
Tori Amos : More Pink
collection ov B-sides from her first two albums. good stuff on here, but nothing spectacular (with the possible exception ov 'sugar.' anyöne who does not like 'sugar' lacks ears, a heart, and probably a soul as well).
-
last album I bought was Nattefrost's 'true primitive narrow-minded black metal' masterpiece and "quite possibly the best album in the world"(from the back of the jewel-case) Blood and Vomit. my favorite song is the one where nattefrost pukes for a full minute and ten seconds.
-
that sounds very...odd and disgusting
anyway I hope to get Sonic Youth-EVOL cheap soon..
-
bows to jimmy page's m4d sk1llz, john bonam's bassiness, john paul jone's kick ass drumming and robert plant's......oversized balls
m4cphisto;
Riiiiight then... as a Led Zep fan I take offence to your general ignorance
John Bonham = DRUMMER
John Paul Jones = BASSIST
Maybe you were just drunk or tired when you wrote this, in that case I apologise.
AAAAAANYWAY...
Mine was Echoes, The Best Of by Pink Floyd (£9.77 in Tesco, that's rock!)
-
Pinhead Gunpowder - Jump Salty.
Oh God. I hate this cd so much. I used to write reviews for a punk website and I had to review this record. My ears bled for days. No offense....I just really hated it.
My last purchase however was Queens of the Stone Ages' Rated R. For lack of a better word: hawt.
-
I don't know. I really like all the other Pinhead releases I have but Jump Salty is easilly the worst one so far. It has some quality tracks, but the other singer...Mike whatshisname. His voice is dreadful, it totally ruins some songs.
-
I bought "In a safe place" from Album Leaf. It was a toss up between this one, ( ) from Sigur Ros and Nurse from Sonic Youth. Album Leaf won because my bank account is lower than I tought and it was the cheapest.
I'm still getting into this kind of music and so it's hard to compare to other bands. I'm also not very profficient with adjectives, so I'll just say it sounds good, with a tempo that picks up, but doesn't get too fast. It uses a tad too much sintethisers at certain parts, thought, nothing ugly, but it could be backed down one notch for some songs.
-
Tori Amos : More Pink
anyöne who does not like 'sugar' lacks ears, a heart, and probably a soul as well).
This is what we in the "science business" call a correct statement.
Sugar is for yes.
-
I bought Bright Eyes - Lifted or The Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground
-
i love gift certificates. here is what they got me:
haujobb - ninetynine
curve - come clean
tapping the vein - the damage
sunday munich - pneuma

last album I bought was Nattefrost's 'true primitive narrow-minded black metal' masterpiece and "quite possibly the best album in the world"(from the back of the jewel-case) Blood and Vomit. my favorite song is the one where nattefrost pukes for a full minute and ten seconds.
Is it actually any good? The only Nattefrost I've heard is 'Sluts of Hell' which was on Fenriz's Old School BM compilation. It sounded ok, but didn't particularly inspire me to get anymore, I was kinda dissapointed that he turned down the rock and roll groove (I do looooove Carpathian Forest), but I liked the punkiness.
Anyway, today I bought:
Vital Remains-Let Us Pray
A mixed record. Some cool riffs and nice grooves, but gets pretty dull in places. Plodding death metal bores me. Still, it was only six quid. Hooray for Peaceville!
Discordance Axis-Original Sound Version
A monsterous release, containing the bands first album (Ulterior) plus unreleased studio and bonus tracks from that session, their half of their splits with Hellchild, Capitalist Casualties and Cosmic Curse, A whole live concert (Live at CBGB) and some tracks from their concert supporting Hellchild in Tokyo, and their first rehearsal tape. Apart from the rehearsal tape (which sounds somewhat like a vicious fight between a vacuum cleaner and a drumkit at the bottom of a distant lake) the CD is pretty damn nice grind, with some nice little artsy/experimental touches. The Live at CBGB recording, which comes as one huge nineteen minute track and has a guest appearance from Seth Putnam, is almost worth the 13 quid I payed for it alone.
-
I haven't bought an album in a loooooong time, but i want to go get a Mogwai or Broken Social Scene CD/
-
Futureheads self-titled.
-
kettcar - von spatzen und tauben, dächern und händen.
it's so new i didn't even recieve it yet. but i ordered it yesterday.
release date is march 07 by the way. wooo :)
-
On Saturday I came into the posession of the original Rocky Horror Picture Show vinyl and a live Ray Charles vinyl which is amazingly good. I also bought my friends bands 6 track which is not too shabby.
-
i've been on this cd-buying spasm lately.
ani difranco - knuckle down
love it, love it, love it. i think she gets better with each passing album. i still say dilate is my favorite, but this one is definitely amazing.
belle and sebastian - if you're feeling sinister and sing jonathan david
again, love love love love! i've only listened to them once each, but i enjoyed them.
bright eyes - letting off happiness, i'm wide awake, it's morning and digital ash in a digital urn
i haven't actually listened to letting off happiness yet. regarding the others, both are good, but i definitely prefer i'm wide awake... i feel like i need a specific reason to listen to digital ash as opposed to just listening to it.
mirah - advisory commitee
can i just say that she's got the cutest voice this side of the besties? i bought it for my mom, i thought she'd enjoy it, but she has yet to hear it...maybe over break, provided i feel like giving it to her.
(i'll just burn her a copy. this one's totally mine.)
rufus wainwright - poses
why i never bought this one when it came out escapes me. and now i'm addicted. *scrambles back the store to buy the other rufus cds*
'tis unhealthy.
-
The Residents - The Big Bubble.
-
Ooh, ooh! We got a bunch of new CDs in Montreal a few weeks ago. Here are the ones I can remember:
Fiery Furnaces - EP
Death From Above 1979 - You're a Woman, I'm a Machine
Beck - Mutations
Bjork - Debut (I think? I forget)
The Frames - Burn the Maps
The Magnetic Fields - I
And that is all I can remember but I think we got some more, too. Montreal generally has very good music stores.
EDIT: And something by Broken Social Scene that my brother hasn't given me yet...
-
i love gift certificates. here is what they got me:
haujobb - ninetynine
curve - come clean
tapping the vein - the damage
sunday munich - pneuma
you have good taste. i think i like you.
why thanks. i had ninetynine on in the studio yesterday and (no lie) people started throwing paint brushes and duct tape at me.
now...any idea where i can locate any of the scary valentine albums?
-
Circa Survive - "Inuit"
-
i've got some cool new cds in the past couple weeks
bee hives- broken social scene
volcano, i'm still excited!! (self-titled)
odelay- beck
the hair soundtrack (from the movie)
-
I just bought the new GreenDay album off of iTunes.
-
Joy Division's Substance was like $10.99 at a local record shoppe so I bought it.
-
A couple days ago I picked up:
Killing Joke - Pandemonium
MC 900 Ft Jesus - Welcome to My Dream
The Killing Joke is good, as all the KJ albums I've heard are. The MC 900 Ft Jesus album is not the one with "If I Only Had a Brain" on it, if anyone was going to ask.

Saw em' on tour togther . . I thought they were both great live.
Also saw Chevelle live. I don't like some of their music, but their preformance onstage rocked.
-
i was in a bit ov an old-school jazz/swing mood this weekend, so...
Glenn Miller : a String ov Pearls
= pure awesome. there's not much else i can say about it. if you don't undertsand the sheer awesomeness ov glenn miller, you probably never will.
Miles Davis
some random compilation without a title, and with very little informtaion. it annoys me the way this tends to be done with jazz, swing, and other similar musicians. but it's mostly songs i didn't already have, and it was cheap.
Miles Davis : Birds ov Paradise
basickally the same situation as the above. good stuff.

cindi lauper- shes so unusual

Gonna go get Ted Leo and the Pharmacists' "Tyranny of Distance" soon.
pip_helix: Mirah is the AWESOME!
To everyone: check out these bands (http://www.krecs.com/Audio_Video/index.html). K-records has a bunch of great artists. An unfathomably large number of them; Mirah is just the beginning.
-
I finally bought the new arcade fire album (funeral). It is pretty good but overrated in my opinion. I guess it would be hard not to be though with the rediculous amount of hype around it. So I am kind of dissapointed it is not a juggernaut of awesomeness.
Maybe I just don't like music anymore. I haven't been able to fall in love with any of the albums I've bought in a long time.
-
Robbers On High Street - Tree City
Dogs Die In Hot Cars - Please Describe Yourself
i've also been on a vinyl kick and just picked up:
M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas, Lost Ghosts
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Air - Moon Safari
The Shins - Oh! Inverted World
-
Sex Pistols - Nevermind the Bollocks
-
dungen - ta det lugnt

This is why people shouldn't read Pitchfork. Bleh.
I just bought the Three Businessmen's self titled album on Vinyl and it is awesome.

the devil's music by the matadors.
-
just today i got
Interpol - Antics
and
Blur - Parklife
-
Iron and Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days
the Arcade Fire - Funeral
Static X - Shadow Zone
-
Six Organs of Admittance-Compathia
Found this used and thought I'd check it out. Really calm late night folk though the last track has some incredibly loud electric guitar on it. Nice overall but maybe not quite worth all the hype this guys gotten.
Steel Pole Bathtub-Scars From Falling Down
This album knows what it wants to do, beat you over the head. Its basically grunge but with too much sludge and feeback for your average listener. Very monotone, though the lyrics are alright and it certainly manages to accomplish its aims.
-

Last album i bought was the Flaming Lips, Late Night Tales compilation. T'is an awesome mix. I'm hoping to buy Super Furry Animals similiar mix cd, Under The Influence soonish.
-
Fly Pan Am-N'Ecoutez Pas LP
This reminds me of when I bought Can's Tago Mago and My Bloody Valentine's Loveless on the same day. The inate strangeness this record exuded caused me to stay up until 3AM writing really odd poetry. The album goes all over the place though it is anchored by steady Motorik drum and bass rhythms and quite a few samples of crowd chatter which seem to pop up randomly. Really I just can't digest it all and I need to listen to it a whole bunch more times.
Bedhead-What Fun Life Was LP
This record sounds like it was recorded in a windowless dimly lit room on a day when the band didn't care what time it was or what the weather was because they were too down. yet, somehow it still rocks. The band manage to build up massive grandoise sweeps of guitar that nonetheless sound shaky and brittle like they could fall face down on the concrete at any moment. The singers melancholy gravel pit voice only acts as a mood setter most of the time as the words are drowned out or mumbled with only a few phrases left intellidgible, all of them of a depressing nature. Rock bottom rock for when slocore is just too slow.
Charalambides-IN CR EA SE DLP
Only listened to the first half of this so far. It's a pretty good drift but vocalist Cristina Carter doesn't sing quiet enough but when she does it sounds really good, her voice blending into the music in a way I haven't heard before probably something to do with the situation of the recording.
-
pip_helix: Mirah is the AWESOME!
that cd has gotten so much play lately, it's not even funny. i lovelovelove it!
-
The Evens-S/t
The Mars Volta-Francis the Mute
Shellac-At Action Park
Fugazi-In on the Kill taker.
The last one is why being a vinyl junkie with an ipod sucks you have ot buy all your records twice.
-
ted leo - shake the sheets.
I've actually been meaning to pick it up for months, but just finally found it. WHOO.
-
Deitys Muse - Life you waste
The Narrow - Travellers
Nirvana - Incesticide (to finish the collection)
Sum 41 - Chuck (hehehe....stop looking at me like that...dig the old-school metal thing they are trying)
Mogwai - Happy songs for happy people (Finally...Mogwai is tricky to find here)
-
*Sighs* I am a CD whore :( Someone should stop me...but oh well. It's not something to brag about, it's a you can't eat CDs kind of thing but so far I still pay the bills and such.
Last couple days got
as suggested The Notwist - Neon Golden and AC Newman - The Slow Wonder
Blood Brothers-Crimes (always knew about em but my get drunk all the time neighbor loves them so never listened much to them till I got that out of my system. Would have gotten the suggested but an import ouch.
Run Chico Run-Shashbo
Menomena-I am the fun blame monster (getting vinyl too)
4 mates of state cds and their dvd (kinda jumped on the mates of state train late though having heard their name all the time)
and lastly (i think...) Silver Mt. Zion-Horses in the Sky
-
I bought a couple things last week whilst I was in London.
Throbbing Gristle - TG24
Absoutly amazed that I even found a copy of it. cost me a pretty penny though
Lustmord - A Document of early accoustic & tatical experimenation
Been trying to find Lustmord albums for ages.
Blood Axis - The Gospel of Inhumanity
Just wanted to get it.
Die Blutieuchte - rus
Russian group, I think this is their only album, based around russia's violent history.
Juno Reactor - Labyrnith
Might aswel have called it: "The stuff we left out of the Matrix Filmscores"
-
Judas Priest - Angel of Retribution
It's good to have Halford back.
-
Good grief...Just listened to the Maximo Park cd (which turned out to be an album), and it sounds like a slightly less jerky Futureheads, but like The Futureheads all the same, with a small dose of libertines, and not at all unique. I'm not one to demand total originality, but it's pretty poor show to completely ape a band who are so now it actually hurts, and do it badly. Grrr.
On the upside, Ambulance Ltd's album is really good, sort of woozy, melancholic indie pop, a bit like My Bloody Valentine in places, but better.
Dead Fly Buchowski are a bit to noise-without-structure,
The new Razorlight song is annoying as fuck,
and I already knew I liked Rilo Kiley.
-
Rufus Wainright - Want Two
Portishead - Dummy
Pulp Fiction soundtrack.
-
WinMX free mp3?
But to speak the truth. Björk.
-
Kaiser Chiefs - Employment
Various Artists - Then Came Rock 'n' Roll (double vinyl)
The first is wonderfully enjoyable, and necessary as I'm seeing them later this month (hometown show! Woo!)
The latter I got for £2 in Oxfam and is chock full of great 50s rock n roll songs by the likes of Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and the great Little Richard. Gawd bless.
Now I need some Elliott Smith and Books, and the new Modey Lemon is out next month...

Holy shit is this album awesome. All the reasons why i'm a bass player is in this CD. Just excellent musicianship all over this album.
Eric Sardinas - Black Pearls
I haven't had a chance to listen to this one yet. But juding by his live show, it has to be a nice blend of blues and rock.
Both bought at the Steve Vai show i went to tonight.

O MY GOD THEY'RE BREEDING.
-
I haven't bought music for a few weeks. The last purchase was Modest Mouse's "This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About" because I had to save up to buy a ticket to see the Shins on the 21st. I'm so broke.
-
Against Me - Reinventing Axel Rose
Le Tigre - From the desk of mr lady
Two albums with cool titles i just bought from amazon, along with two books on my current obsession, Nikola Tesla (http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/mad-science/nikola-tesla/). I just realised thse are the first cd's ive bought this year - http://allofmp3.com 0wns me

Dead Poetic - Four Wall Blackmail
Dead Poetic - New Medicines
Crossfade - Self-titled
i was going to get a spineshank album but i would have to order it and that would take like 2 weeks so i got: The Butterfly Effect - Begins Here.
i doubt any of you have heard The Butterfly Effect since they are an australian band and to my knowledge haven't done anything international, but you can get a sample of their music on their site, i seriously suggest checking them out.

An album that was unfairly left off of a lot of "Best Of 2004" lists.

Not an album, but I just ordered the Taint/Army Of Flying Robots split 7", the new Boris picture disc 7" and the Orthrelm/Trencher 5". I wasn't planning on buying any more records for a while, but that lot is just too essential to pass up!

Sweet. I'm unfortunately still yet to own a The Notwist album. Marten would be ashamed of me.
However, I finally replaced my fake version of Pinkerton with a real version.
-
I just found an album I don't remember getting at any point on my bedroom floor by The Fever.
I saw them a couple of months back, too, and they were pretty good. I wish I could find more albums on my floor.
-
I found an Incubus CD, still wrapped, on my friend's apartment floor, and he let me have it.
Finding CD's on the floor is always good.
-
I have got hold of some albums that badly needed adding to my collection recently.
Silver Mount Zion - Horses in the Sky.
Envy - All the footprints you've ever left and the fear expecting ahead.
Defiance, Ohio - Share What Ya Got.

-
The Incredibles soundtrack
Tess Wiley - Not Quite Me
FC Kahuna - Machine Says Yes
-
Crass - Feeding of the 5000
Crass - Christ the Album
Those are excellent choices. I need to get around to replacing my well-worn tape of Feeding of the 5000 with one of those re-released vinyl jobbies. Crass' artwork was amazing.
-
most recent bought-
scissor sisters most recent album
next to buy-
beck- guero. gotta love beck. have something like 3 of his other albums. love it.
and The arcade fire- funeral. listened to them because of jephs recommendation- AND LOVED IT!
-
I have several LPs sitting next to me right now that I won't be able to play till the weekend. They are:
Jack Rose-Opium Musick LP
16 Bitch Pile Up/Sword Heaven-Come Here Sandy split LP
Joanna Newsom-The Milk Eyed Mender LP (have got a burnt CD-R, tis very good indeed)
ok, you are my favorite poster on this board for your taste in music alone. charalambides have been played a lot here lately, and jack rose is one of my all time favorites. you need to check out his collaboration with jason bill. it's amazing. also pelt if you haven't already. and check eclipse's site to get the "by the fruits you shall know the roots" 3xlp comp. six organs, jack rose, matt valentine from tower recording's new project, fursaxa, and two others who rule too. great record.
and that 16 bitch / sword heaven split is good, but you need to see sword heaven to appreciate them. INTENSE. 16 bitch is ok. they are nice at least.
uh... today i bought these:
antioch arrow - in love with jetts lp gravity press. didn't have it, it's an ok record.
melt-banana - charlie lp
melt-banana - speak squeak creak lp (one of my all time favorite live bands. i'm gonna try to see em 3 times this tour!)
snakefinger - against the grain lp (residents side project)
husker du - zen arcade 2xlp
will oldham - joya lp
i also saw bonnie billy tonight. good show.
-
how do you afford so many cds?!?!
-
Picked up today:
VHS Or Beta: Night On Fire
Go Post-Eighties Revialism! Haven't listened to it yet, but I loved 'You Got Me' so I'm hopeful.
Recently:
Morrissey - Live At Earls Court
Because it has basically the same set list as when he was at Reading last year at that was *the* best act of the weekend, and totally life-changing...
M83 - Before The Dawn Heals Us
Bought on strength of 'Don't Save Us From The Flames', and the rest of the album is...good, but not *as* good, but it might require a few more listens
Lux Courageous - Reasons That Keep The Ground Near
Everyone should own a copy of this - it's the most coherent, complete album I've heard all year and a a brilliant example of what happens if bands are prepared to experiment and mix up what they do a bit rather than be constrained to the obvious/friendly stuff...
Count
-
used record stores are your friend. all that was about $30.
-
Thanks, Mattkills. Eclipse records is awesome. Should get Raag Manifesto by Mr.Rose before it disappears. Anyway, I got these in the Mail last week.
Wooden Wand and the Vanishing Voice-Sunset Sleeves LP
That band with John Olson from Wolf Eyes wife in. This stuff is alright though nothing super-revealatory in my opinion. It tends to sound like the band are trying to sound more mysterious than they actually are. A couple of the tracks are just murky kitchen-sinky improvs that don't seem to go too far. The vocal trade offs on Serpent Skin are sublime though and the track 'more void' is seductively spooky. For the most part though the record is very quiet with a mild sense of smoky unease.
Avarus-(hard to remember title in Finnish) 2CD
This comp is a mess due to its nature but a pretty interesting one. In a way I find them trying to do what Wooden Wand wanted to but coming off as a lot more succesful and with less pretension. You can tell from the music and the packaging this is just some geeky Finnish kids getting their weird on. My fave track is the last one A-V-P which is a total Motorik drone fest something which I am rather a sucker for.
Comets on Fire with Burning Star Core-Collab LP
I've not played this yet as I just don't trust my cheap Sony turntable even if it does have a new needle. I actually bought this for the BxC as I liked his Brighter Summer Day LP.
-
Stars- Set yourself on fire.
rocks my penis off
-
wwvv is pretty good live. one of the dudes is in a very fun band called "meneguar" if you haven't heard them. very jawbreaker but also doing their own thing so it's great.
today i got:
the most secret method / the dusters split 10"
silver jews "american water" lp
the raincoats "looking in the shadows" lp
good scores for $10.
-
Picked up today:
M83 - Before The Dawn Heals Us
Bought on strength of 'Don't Save Us From The Flames', and the rest of the album is...good, but not *as* good, but it might require a few more listens
This record is probably in my all-time top five favourite records of 2005 list, yo. It does take a few listens, though. Check out their older stuff too: it's a lot more electronic and blippy goodness.
-
Crass - Feeding of the 5000
Crass - Christ the Album
Subhumans - EP-LP
Leftover Crack - Fuck World Trade
Pantera - Cowboys from Hell
D.O.A. - Something Better Change
Good list my friend. Crass takes me back to high school, I used to love Crass intensely. I just broke out "Stations of the Crass" the other day for the first time since I've been in college, it was exciting. I still know all the words to "Do They Owe Us A Living" and "Heard Too Much About." Took me a long time to figure out that "Heard Too Much About" was an anti-oi! song.
Yeah, so, I just bought:
Darkbuster - A Weakness For Spirits
Holy Lord, it is unbelievable. I love punk rock.
-
The Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride II
A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
Eric B & Rakim - Mixpak
EPMD - You Got to Chill
Fugees - The Score
Eyedea & Abilities - E&A
Handsome Boy Modeling School - White People
Handsome Boy Modeling School - White People (instrumentals)
Roc Raida - Slap Box Breaks
All on vinyl. God I'm a junkie. I love it.
-
I finally got Arcade Fire - Funeral after being told by everyone and their grandmother that it's the best thing since sliced bread.
I must admit that the first two tracks are really amazing, and I like the style of the music as a whole, but the rest of the album is just OK I think... not the religious experience that it has been made out to be.
So it was a good buy, but it hasn't shot to the top of my favourites list yet. It's probably jmostly due to my intolerance for slow dull songs.
-
i picked up like 10 albums in the last week and a half. among them were
garbage - bleed like me
sonic youth - daydream nation
converge - i forgot the album name
blood brothers - crimes (awesome!)
pixies - surfer rosa
and a few others... can't recall what offhand since garbage, sonic youth, blood brothers, and the pixies have been all i've listened to!
-
Callisto - True Nature Unfolds.
Mmmmmm Crushing Doom/Sludge. They impressed the hell outta me live, so I got the album.
-
I bought a few new albums three weeks ago, to console myself following a particularly harsh exam.
Bob Marley - Catch A Fire
QOTSA - Lullabies...
Toots & The Maytals - Some compilation thingy (Monkey Man, 546, Pressure Drop... GHAAA!)
Monster - A Brief History Of (possibly the best swedish rock/pop/punk/ska record ever made)
-
I saw 65daysofstatic last night and they were amazing as usual. This time, however, their support was too.
So I bought:
randomNumber - Towards the Forlorn Society
Nervous Testpilot - Disposable Hardcore
Adaadat label sampler - Trade and Distribution Almanac Vol 2.
randomNumber is the best by far. Boards of Canada style floaty, ambient synths, with cut-up drill n bass drums in a calm way. Great stuff.
-
Built to Spill - The Normal Years
The Flaming Lips - Transmissions from the Satellite Heart
-
I finally got Arcade Fire - Funeral after being told by everyone and their grandmother that it's the best thing since sliced bread.
I must admit that the first two tracks are really amazing, and I like the style of the music as a whole, but the rest of the album is just OK I think... not the religious experience that it has been made out to be.
So it was a good buy, but it hasn't shot to the top of my favourites list yet. It's probably jmostly due to my intolerance for slow dull songs.
Ditto. I picked up this album today. I quite like it so far.
-

Bill Evans - Alone
Tommy Banks - Yes Indeed!
Duke Ellington - Such Sweet Thunder
Count Basie - Straight Ahead
John Zorn - Filmworks: The Protocols of Zion
Bob Mintzer and Kurt Elling - Live at MCG

I finally bought a hard-copy of Ministry - Psalm 69. Part of my slow program of re-imbursing all my favourite bands for my use of p2p software.
-
PerfectBitch...nerd? I see no music that mentions magic swords and dragons. Clearlly you're not upto the standard yet :P
But Zorn rules.

Wilco - A.M. (2 for 15$)
The Smiths - The Queens Is Dead(2 for 15$)
Built To Spill - The Normal Years
My ears on in heaven.
-
The Fiery Furnaces - Blueberry Boat
-
Hansome Boy Modeling School is indeed awesome. I am listening to them right now.
I got to see them live two weeks ago, and it was one of the best and most entertaining shows I've ever been to. Rondo Brothers opened and played backup for them, Buck65 followed them, they brought a bunch of "graduates" from the modeling school, including most of hieroglyphics, Pres from Black Sheep (and on request they did This or That), and so on. Highly recommended.

i can't wait to listen to them. it might be after i get x-rays on my wrist though. fun!
-
I did another raid on the free music draw today...
Got -
Garbage - Bleed like me
The Coral - The Invisible Invasion (sampler)
New Order - Waiting for the siren's call (again)
The OC Mix 4 (don't laugh! It's got really good stuff on it!)
Pure Reason Revolution - The Bright Ambassadors of Morning
The Features - Exhibit A - I'm particularly excited by this as it comes in a proper evidence bag, like the ones they use in court.
And singles -
The Tears - Refugees
The Ga Gas - left of centre
Nine Black Alps - Not Everyone
NIN - the hand that feeds. I like this immensely.
How I love my job!
-
The OC Mix 4 (don't laugh! It's got really good stuff on it!)
Ha ha ha! I am laughing! I saw someone on the bus today with an OC CD, they were looking through the liner notes, so to assert my musical superiority, I did the same with the two CDs I bought today:
Help She Can't Swim - Fashionista Super Dance Troupe
Billy Bragg and Wilco - Mermaid Avenue
-
Ooooh! I want the hscs album, they're local and yet I've never seen them live...
And I maintain that the OC mix is good - though I waited to get home to read the liner notes. They were pretty appalling.
-
I saw them supporting the Blood Brothers a month or so ago, that's what convinced me to buy the record (I was already considering buying it just because of the cover and title)
-
Heh. It's like the record store magically had everything that I wanted last week. One of these days I should record a mix and post it, I enjoyed the one you made a while back, MilkmanDan.
You're a DJ? This is good!
You should do a mix, fo' sho'. I would love to hear it.
And I just bought God Loves Ugly instrumentals on Vinyl. This means I need Seven's travels instrumentals on vinyl, and I'll have every Atmosphere release. Everything that's not on tape anyway.
-
I looked for Seven's instrumentals last week, and was disappointed (Always Coming Home to You has been in heavy rotation lately). I have most of the God Loves Ugly singles and the album.
-
today:
everything comes & goes - black sabbath tribute compilation lp
tom waits - the early years vol. 2 lp
yes, i buy a lot of records.
-
Circa Survive - "Juturna"
-
An Albatross - We are the Lazer Viking
I picked that up at the show with Melt Banana late last week. Stellar show. It's a shame the album is only like 10 minutes long.
On the other hand, I now own an album called "We are the Lazer Viking" seriously, I never get tired of saying that.
-
cut the shit - harmed and dangerous lp
It kicks ass. Nothing beats Boston hardcore.
-
eric's trip -- love tara
wow, now I know where the microphones got their sound from.
-
The last album I bought was Delerium - Chimera. Nice, ambient music to chill out to. :)
Last album I got off the 'net was Iris - Lose in Wanting EP. It is one of my favourite songs ever and I almost came when my boyfriend sent it to me. I couldn't put a genre on them, though. Synthpop?
-
cut the shit - harmed and dangerous lp
It kicks ass. Nothing beats Boston hardcore.
i much prefer the 1 sided 7", but this is good.
check out the degenerics if you haven't already. such an under rated band! the lp on deadxalive is so fucking great!
-
last albums i bought were:
Fantomas - Suspended Animation
The Decemberists - Picaresque

Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans
M83 - Before the Dawn Heals Us
Hood - Outside Closer
Sufjan Stevens - Michigan
Yeah, I went kinda crazy.
-
it is official, I hate Amazon, the bastards says I have to wait more than a month for my cds, fuck them I say and bomb them with complaint mails.
Beyond that I recently acquired Portishead's lost/leaked/will probably never be released album Alien and I love it!
-
At the used store I got:
New Kingdom - Paradise Don't Come Cheap
Westbam - We'll Never Stop Living This Way
-
Not an album, but I did get a copy of the new coldplay single.
It's very...Coldplay.
And Ryan Adams, which is pretty inoffensive
-
I bought The Flaming Lips' Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, and I have mixed feelings about it. Three, four songs I like I really liked on it, a couple of boring filler tracks (in my humble opinion).
-
Bad Religion- Suffer
-
Transmissions From The Satellite Heart
My all time favorite flaming lips cd
cd I want to be my newest cd
Quiet is the New Loud - Kings Of Convenience
-
The Decembrists - Picaresque
-
bought myself the new hot hot heat album the other week
i have run out of money, so that was lucky
-
Tales From Yesterday - A Tribute To Yes. Ahhh, I love Mgna Carta tribute albums.
-
Devil Sold His Soul - Darkness Prevails EP.
Just now, a minute ago from the lovely bassist Iain. Gotta love having the guy living in the same hall as me.
-
Bought a hard copy of Electric Wizard's opus 'Dopethrone' today. Listening now. Good shit.
Also, on a music related note, I bought four more patches for my patch jacket today:
The Anti-Nowhere League - I Hate People (The guy at the store said I'd scooped a bargain: He'd had the patch in his store-room since the 80's)
Orange Goblin - Deaf By Metal
Dark Funeral - Diabolis Interium
Bolt Thrower - Logo
I got me some sewing to do!
-
Built to Spill (I think it's only Doug Martsch though) - Ashes to Ashes. Some of the staple Built to Spill stuff is on here (I Would Hurt A Fly listed as I Wouldn't Hurt A Fly and Carry the Zero) along with Leonard Cohen, Curtis Mayfield, Cat Stevens, The Replacements, Dinosaur Jr., and David Bowie covers.
Soul Coughing - Irresistible Bliss.
Scared of Chaka - Crossing with Switchblades.
Tribes of Neurot and Walking Time Bombs - Static Migration and DI - Caseyology for my friends birthday.
-
Latest album purchase iiiiiiiiiis....
The Futureheads - The Futureheads
Been meaning to get it for a while, not had money.
-
The Features - Exhibit A
I went to see them about 10 days ago at the Garage in London. Sweet stuff - i need to get their album... oh and they came out afterwards and had a drink with all of us till the place closed down. they're really cool guys. i was discussing the joys of root canals with the drummer hehe
as for newest purchases...
the cure - kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
four tet - rounds
-
pre ordered scout niblett-Kidnapped by Neptune
and ordered super system-Always Never Again
-
Hive Mind and Religous Knives CD-R
I got this turbo quick from a distro. It was recorded live on dec 31st 2004. First track is Hive Mind style doom ambient. The Second is an actual recording of the new year passing. Some of the dialogue on it is just absurd. Some of it is someone saying "Go Back To the East Coast" Who knew there was an east coast Vs. Midwest noise rivalry?
Lau Nau-Kuulta CD
This is nice, but what was it recorded on? I got the CD version and it has vinyl Style crackles on it. It still pretty lovely though. Out folk sung entirely in Finnish. Lots of weird droney noises and twangs.
-
Orderd myself a hard copies of Divinity Destroyed's Eden In Ashes (even though it's on the net for free) and Ephel Duath's The Painter's Palette (mwhahaha!)
Now just have to wait for the sodding DD album to be imported.
-
The Notwist - Neon Golden. Been meaning to buy this for over a year now but never got round to it. I love it!
-
I bought Oasis - Definitely Maybe
It was at the secondhand record store for cheaps. Thought I might listen to all the hype well after all the hype.
-
well, I'm downloading a live bootleg of Death From Above 1979 at the moment, that count?
-
It'd count if it was Death From Above 1979...
-
i dont know what you mean, ive spelt 'Death From Above 1979' correctly
-
You edited it. It clearly said 'Death From Above 1079'. Anyway, getting it off IndieTorrent isn't really a 'purchase' now, is it?
-
I can honestly tell you that I have no idea what you mean!
-
Yes *wink**wink* you don't know what I mean...
-
the dears - no cities left.
the arcade fire - funeral.
yeah, i know i'm incredibly behind in the arcade fire fanclub, but it took me forever to warm up to them. i downloaded "laika" and was underwhelmed cos all i really heard was shouting. i heard "power out" on the radio and was again underwhelmed. by the 20th time i heard it i thought it was the greatest song, and now i've bought the record.
the dears record's alright...i liked the single "lost in the plot" but the rest of the record is kinda overdone and pompous, i find.
-
Did you see them on Johnathon Ross? Talk about miserable...
-
I bought Bright Eyes' I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning. Love it.
I'm thinking of picking up Bloc Party's Silent Alarm or the Kaiser Chiefs' Employment. "She Hears Voices" and "I Predict A Riot" are so catchy!
I CAN'T CHOOSE
-
Faith No More - Angel Dust
$5 at Best Buy. Woot.
-
Did you see them on Johnathon Ross? Talk about miserable...
They were crap too. I had to turn to MTV2 for recouperation. Although that didn't work, so I went to bed.
-
Turning to MTV2 for anything is a bad idea.
-
I was desperate, ok?!?
No, I know it's not ok!
-
I just blew my cash, yay!
Husker Du - New Day Rising
The Pixies - Live (DVD)
And I would have bought The Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime if CD Warehouse actually carried them. But they won't, because the Minutemen A. Aren't Green Day B. Make music that doesn't suck.
-
It's a new day risin'
-
No, I'm pretty sure It's a New Day Rising:
(http://cover6.cduniverse.com/MuzeAudioArt/110/111481.jpg)
-
Autechre - LP5
After listening a couple times...I really can't see what people found so goddamn tough about this record.
-
No, I'm pretty sure It's a New Day Rising
I was quoting the song, with an emphasis on the part that has emphasis placed on it. For hilarity, you know.
-
Oh i LOVE that Husker Du album. It was one of the first full length vinyls i bought.
Last albums bought: Postal Service (all three cd eps), Lauryn Hill - Miseducation (vinyl), Rainer Maria - Long Knives Drawn (vinyl), Prince & The Revolution - Paisley Park (vinyl) , Anti-Flag - Die For Your Government CD, Guitar Wolf - Maximum Rock N Roll CD, and Death Cab For Cutie - You Can Play These Songs With Chords CD.
I tend to buy music in big spurts every 2 months or so. More often now since I lost the 3000+ mp3s on my comp and have to sound card..
-
M83 - Before the Dawn Heals Us
Bought at the Coachella festival and had Anthony sign it. He's a very shy and polite french fella. :)
-
I bought Bright Eyes' I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning. Love it.
I'm thinking of picking up Bloc Party's Silent Alarm or the Kaiser Chiefs' Employment. "She Hears Voices" and "I Predict A Riot" are so catchy!
I CAN'T CHOOSE
the kaiser chiefs record isn't too bad - the singles are the best off it, though. i'd go bloc party personally.
-
For Banquet alone, Bloc Party wins, but then their album is half brilliant dance, half random, downbeat meandering.
The Kaiser Chiefs are pretty consistent, but can get a little grating..if you like britpop, then Kaisers win, but BP are more varied.
In other news, I got the new Spoon album.
Which rocks my indie socks off.
-
Oh I looooved "I'm Wide Awake It's Morning". THe other album, I can't even rememeber the name of, that they released same day: Bleh.
Spoon kicks ass.
-
pssst - the other one's called Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, and has moments of utter brilliance (Down in a Rabbit Hole, Easy Lucky Free, Hit the Switch and Take it Easy), but then has slighlty...less good tracks.
I can't bring myself to actually call a Bright Eyes track shit, but...yeah.
IWAIM is amazing. And outselling the other one by about 3-2.
-
aww man big concerts=tons of free cds. I LOVE IT. so um i have about 20 random new cds, technically. but i also bought:
call the doctor- sleater-kinney (haven't listened to it yet)
the popsicle ep- zolof the rock and roll destroyer (delicious)
-
Didn't Oberst bitch out some of his fans for being emo-groupies? I can't wait til he pulls a Cobain and releases a record with liner notes that are just an anti-fan rant.
That having been said, I know I'll buy the record.
And I still need to listen to Digital Ash, if only for Nic Zinner's guitar and Jimmy Tamborello's beatsssx.
-
call the doctor- sleater-kinney (haven't listened to it yet)
When you do, it will make you very very happy you bought it. Have you heard Heavens To Betsy? They may actually be even better, and that's no mean feat.
-
MFKZT / Sunshine Republic - Split Tour 2005 MCD.
As it's the only cd MFKZT have at the moment, and I got it signed as well. \m/
-
Have you heard Heavens To Betsy? They may actually be even better, and that's no mean feat.
yea heavens to betsy is great! unfortunately, they're really hard to find so i only have a few songs. if i ever get around to it i have to get their albums online. i like corin tucker's other band too- cadallaca. and carrie brownstein's band excuse 17. heh um when i'm bored i stalk sleater-kinney (and others) on kill rock star's website.
-
I love that Cadallaca album, 'Two Beers Later' is one of those songs that just lodges itself in your head and won't budge for days. For some reason I've never got around to checking out Excuse 17, I'll have to borrow some off my friend. She's got more riot grrl than you can shake a stick at (even if she does call Corin Tucker a 'fucking faker tourist' these days), so something will be very wrong with the world if she doesn't own it.
-
O.o I feel so guilty of my music tastes amongst all these indie folk.
Okay, just yesterday, I expanded my music collection by a bit--
Metric--Old World Underground, Where are You Now?
On a whole, it's pretty good--there's some songs that sound like they were just added as filler; "The List" and "Love is a Place" didn't really do anything for me, but it's more than made up for with "Succexy", "Wet Blanket", and "Dead Disco". Even if you don't /like/ to dance, I think you should take a look at it.
The Killers--Hot Fuss.
I really don't understand what all the fuss was about. It was /okay/--not wonderful. Not something I really wanted to waste twenty bucks on.
Thursday--Five Stories Falling
It's true; I'm a closet Thursday fan. Shoot me now, if you like. I have no idea why I like them so much; I'll be the /first/ to admit that they take themselves much too seriously, and there are much better scremo bands out there, even if scremo isn't the best genre ever. They're just addictive on a deeper, primal, "I need to scream my lungs out" level. If for nothing else, love the CD for "Jet Black New Year".
=le cough= I'll be shutting up now, before I dig myself into an even deeper hole.
-
Wow, your first post and I love you already. New record, folks.
-
^^ I love you, too....person.
I've read some o' your posts. Hooray for metalistic ...metal. =is too tired to think of something witty and humorous at the moment=
-
Didn't Oberst bitch out some of his fans for being emo-groupies?
There was that time he stopped a show when the fans started singing along to every single word, because it made him feel 'like Dashboard Confessional'...
But yeah, some of the fans are insufferable.
On topic - got a CD of The Arctic Monkeys, who are some next big something or other, but that's neither here nor there, as it was free.
-
quasimoto -- the further adventures of lord quas
well i didnt really buy it, the magazine i edit got sent a promo copy. and i'm keeping it. very good so far. hooray for free stuff.
combat wombat -- unsound system & unkle ho -- roads to roma
two australian hip-hop records.
the first is a bit of great, angry, radical left-wing rap (with songs about climate change, immigration detention centres, talkback radio, and mounted police (fave line: sponsored by multinational forces / get those animals off those horses!)
the second is sort of weird gypsy jazz / broken beat mostly instrumental stuff. cute. elefant traks reprazent (anyone know what i'm talking about?)
-
w-w-word up?
-
ah man aphi you're killing me with your "old world underground" comments. i'm glad you like it, but to me, that is absolutely one of the most amazing albums ever made. filler? i don't think metric will ever have a filler song. and i find "love is a place" to be completely beautiful and "the list" to be totally awesome and catchy. naturally, you are entitled to your own opinions and these are only my own thoughts. but, as metric is one of my favourite favourite bands, i felt compelled to give my two cents.
erm... the end.
-

I haven't heard it yet, but have been anticipating it for sometime; although my friend told me that Quas "went all mainstream". Too bad. I was just getting into The Unseen as well.
-
Can a guy named Quasimoto go mainstream?
-
Nine Inch Nails - "With_Teeth"
jumping the gun on it a bit, but tomorrow...it's mine!

Ah, forgive me. I've only actually listened to the album about three times now, and that's with distraction(You might call Marketing class distraction).
The ones that caught my attention first were the ones mentioned earlier---now that I listen more intently, you're absolutely right. The rest of the album is HELL of good.

haha awesome! i'm so glad you changed your mind. if you can get your hands on it their static anonymity ep is also wonderful. unfortunately, i had to download it.

=le cough= I'll be shutting up now, before I dig myself into an even deeper hole.
I bought that Ep just for Jet Black New Year as well. God... that song.. it just -does- something to me. I think it's what got me hooked on Thursday to begin with..
As for digital Ash. Meh. I can come close to saying there might be a track or two on there that is shit. I bought both albums the day they came out and listen to Wide Awake probably 3 times a week. Digital Ash has been played a total of 3 times.
I did catch Leno last night where he performed Protest Song and now i'm super excited about the upcoming show...
-
I haven't heard it yet, but have been anticipating it for sometime; although my friend told me that Quas "went all mainstream". Too bad. I was just getting into The Unseen as well.
Your friend is mistaken. Well, I don't think he's gone 'mainstream' anyway. It's a good album, if you like The Unseen I'm sure you'll like this one too.
-
Violent Femmes-S/T LP
I found this at a thrift store in a box of what seemed like mostly Duran Duran records. I guess the original owner didn't like this record much as I plopped it on my turntable and there was not a single crackle or scratch on it. This sounds very indie-rock for 1983 maybe even emo as the lyrics are extremly angstful. His voice isn't too annoying at least and I can associate with some of the words in a guilty pleasure kind of way.
Skullflower-IIIrd gatekeeper
I'm on a total Skullflower binge right now. I've not had a chance to listen to all of this but I'm loving it already. This reminds me somewhat of a Godflesh album I listened to but without the vocals. Its also a bit like Sunn or other drone metal-ers but with drums and a bit more rhythm to it.
-
Violent Femmes' stuff is ace, Viva Wisconsin being my favourite. Check it out if you dig them; it's a collection of live performances from a tour of their home state.
-
Skullflower-Orange Canyon Mind CD
Man, I totally love this. Their previous record "Exquisite Fucking Boredom" was a revealation to me musically but this is even better. My favorites are the buzzing, repetitive title track the main riff of which is simply superb and the very appropraitely titled "Anhilating Angel" which perfectly invokes a pissed off celestial being destroying all in its path via its flailng guitar squall. If you ever wondered what would happen if a Krautrock band played stoner metal this is one to check out.
Black Boned Angel-Supereclipse CD
This disk is Mr. Cambell Kneale the man who is prolific NZ drone outfit Birchville cat motel trying his hand at Sunn 0))/ Earth style drone metal. There are three 20 minute songs on here all three of them very repetitive. I like this a fair bit but was somewhat annoyed when I bought the full album that the final songs were just essentially extended versions of the samples I had listened to with no real new parts.
-
The Killers--Hot Fuss.
I really don't understand what all the fuss was about. It was /okay/--not wonderful. Not something I really wanted to waste twenty bucks on.
give it a couple more listens. i felt the same way and now it's one of my current fav albums.
also my latest purchase was ben folds "songs for silverman" and i finally finished my ben folds five collection with "the unauthorized biography of reinhold messner"
-
I recently got hold of:
Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies To Paralyze = possibly better than the last album. If you liked Songs for the Deaf, then chances are you'll love this... the songs are much catchier and the album just generally meshes much better than the previous one.
System of a Down - Mezmerize = If anyone here likes SoaD... this generally sounds a lot more like the stuff from their first album rather than Toxicity, though some of the songs go a little over the top with their politics. The single, BYOB, is pretty guilty of this, but on the whole the songs are much catchier.
Also got Foo Fighters - The Colour & The Shape, but as I'm sure most are aware, that's old, heh.
Oh, and got hold of the new Limp Bizkit album. It's even worse than Chocolate Starfish was... I mean, *fish at least had some good moments towards the end of the album. This is just trash... seven tracks of it.
Once I get paid I'll be buying the QotSA and SoaD albums, easy.
-
NIN : With Teeth
(cant wait for the SOAD album)
-
Venetian Snares - Find Candice
Featuring such classic tunes as 'Befriend a child killer' and 'Dolleater'. Great stuff.
-
Bought a stack just recently
Soilwork - Stabbing the Drama
Soilwork - Figure NUmber Five
Soilwork - Natural Born Chaos
Machine Head - Through The Ashes Of Empires
Machine Gun Fellatio - On Ice
Muse - Absolution
-
Aww... Absolution is great. I prefer Origin of Symmetry though, if you don't have it, you must go get!
-
Black Flag - My War
Black Flag - Slip It In
Against Me! - Reinventing Axl Rose
All very, very good
-
er, pardon me for buying mainstream, but:
Moby - Hotel
Garbage - Bleed Like Me
Nine inch Nails - With Teeth
At first Moby's album seemed pretty cool, and I'll probably enjoy it if I listen to it again, but It's just kinda wore off in the wake of the last two.
Bleed Like Me is good, but it lacks a lot of the electronics and programming that made Garbage garbage, also, the lyrics don't connect with me as well as the ones on version 2.0.
With Teeth is awesome. I've posted like 10 times about it in the With Teeth thread.
edit: I've yet to find any Metric at local music stores, but I've heard about 5 of their songs, and they're all awesome. A particular favourite of mine is 'wet blanket.'
-
Last week, I special-ordered Onelinedrawing - The Volunteers from FYE, because they're the only place in San Antonio that has it, but not in stock, of course.
And I'll get it Mesmerize the following Saturday, because once I go out with my girlfriend tomorrow, I won't have enough money to buy a CD and be able to eat until I get paid.
I also want to get the new Gorillaz album, Demon Days, but I think I might wait on that one.
-
Kid Koala - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Mogwai - Come On Die Young
About damn time, I've been listening to songs off both these albums for about 2 years. I've been putting those album buys for FAR too long.
-
Aww...I've been meaning to get a whole Mogwai album for ages, but my refusal to spend money on music has been something of a hinderance to this.
I got sent the new Maria Taylor album , 11:11, which is much better than I expected. It still sounds like Azure Ray, but darker and poppier and somehow even better. Looking forward to hearing what Orenda Fink's solo stuff is like when it comes out...
-
Picked up a copy of Hawkwind - Masters of the Universe at a second hand record store.
Hard. Rawking.
-
Minutemen-3 way tie for last
Arcade Fire-Funeral (vinyl copy)
-
Ah, Three Way Tie For Last. Good choice. It's a pity a lot of people dismiss that album, there are some fine songs on it. 'Courage' is one of my all-time favourites of theirs.
-
Aww... Absolution is great. I prefer Origin of Symmetry though, if you don't have it, you must go get!
I have it somewhere i just haven't bought it as yet.
Planning to when i have the $$
-

Pavement - Crooked Rain Crooked Rain
Air - Moon Safari

Got a package from RRRecords today:
Skullflower-Obsidian shaking Codex-CD-r
This is truly wonderful, a masterpiece of heavy drone. Despite employing very long song lengths (5 tracks in 73 minutes) the band manage to keep it together perfectly including varience in their playing but sticking to a sonic theme in each piece. I especially like the 3rd and 4th tracks crashing silver ghost phallus and Diamond bullets.
Yellow Swans-Dusk CS
Just a little live cassette with four tracks on it. I like the last track 'Swan Luv' the most. The tape is painted bright yellow and has the tracks printed on it. For some reason the music invokes old films of car factory robots in the 80s.
Yellow Swans-Dosed CS
Fairly similar to the above. More live stuff though it's not quite as interesting.
Burning Star Core-Recycled Music CS
Sounds like some kind of outtake from 'A Brightre Summer Day'. Very clattery with odd bits of computer noise and distorted violin thrown in. The recycled cassette in question used to have James Brown on it, though the tape itself is just a standard recorable and not a re-dubbed commercial tape.
-
Karnivool - Themata (aus band)
The Postal Service - Give Up
Incubus - A Crow Left Of The Murder
Interpol - Antics
I definately agree with what Jeff said about Ben Gibbard on the QC Recommended Listening... can't really expand on what he said cause it was just too.. right?.. yeah thatll work
-
Got Super System's new CD which was a huge disappointment...it's like they betrayed me...
but also got Scout Niblett's new cd which touches me deep down inside...where I am soft...like a woman.

I'm waiting on the new Ryan Adams album, which may be good or may be shite - he annoys the hell out of me, but every now and then pulls something out of the bag which makes you forget all the rubbish he's done.
-
Dosh - Pure Trash
Anticon suprise again. Real nice Four Tet / Prefuse 73 & The books style electronica. (folktronica, apparently. I swear genres get sillier all the time.) Not a rapper in sight. + vinyl for the win.
-
Ewigkeit - Radio Ixtlan
I cannot really sum up quite how absolutely motherfuckingly awesome this album is, both musically and conceptually. It's at the level of philosophical pretention where it has an essay on it's meaning in the back and a recommended reading list (Including a book by David Icke) to try and help you understand it a bit more.
Musically, no-one else in the world is doing shit like this. At all. There is death metal somewhere in there, there is ambient trance, there is folk, there are black metal and thrash, there is space rock and prog, there is breakcore, there are brief surges of cybergrind, there are nature noises, there are acoustic passages, hearbeats, at least four vocalists...
It is, in short, one of the best albums ever.
-
I don't buy music that often. Last album I bought was I think We Are Being Observed by Giant Haystacks, which I like enough. The last album I downloaded (because I couldn't find it anywhere besides eBay) was Candy Apple Grey by Husker Du. Which fucking OWNS.
-
Giant Haystacks are alright, but Wreck of Old '98 and Solanki did the whole Minutemen-woship thing so much better.
-
I recently picked up the following albums:
The Black Keys - Thickfreakness
This is a pretty decent album if you like really raw blues rock. The Black Keys rock hard, and their music is all pretty catchy...and yeah, retro, but OLD SCHOOL retro. Not as tight as Rubber Factory, but still a good album.
Blonde Redhead - Fake Can Be Just As Good
Discord alt-rock. I enjoy the album, most of my friends don't.
Tin Tin - Self-titled
These guys are a local prog-folk act in the boulder-denver area. They're decent, and I picked up the album for next to nothing, so whatever.
Today my goal is to go pick up a copy of Arcade Fire - Funeral. I am going to force myself to like this album, kinda like I had to force myself to like oral sex (giving, not receiving).
-
Enon-High Society
-
DYS - Wolf Pack
Old, old school straight edge. And awesome.
I also grabbed a Reagan SS 7" and their split with John Brown's Army, all for £10. Not a bad haul.
-
Giant Haystacks are alright, but Wreck of Old '98 and Solanki did the whole Minutemen-woship thing so much better.
I don't know, I never considered it a Minutemen-worship thing. Just because, well, I don't listen to the Minutemen much anyway. I buy anything that looks halfway interesting.
-
I went to the record store with the express purpose of buying Silent Alarm, but I managed to walk out with The Bravery's self-titled instead. It's pretty solid, anyhow. Enjoyable album.
-
System of a Down- Mezmerize.
Most ear-grabbing album of the year so far. It's awesome.
-
settlefish's the plural of the choir... I hope its better quality than deep elms mywire version. but yeah I think they make that player sound crappy so you dont steal or whatever. from what I've heard, its pretty catchy. original too, which is a hard mix to pull off
-
Coheed and Cambria - Second Stage Turbine Blade
I've actually had all of the songs on this for some time, it's just so awesome that I decided to buy the album and support the artists... Coheed is awesome!
-
Kaki King - Legs to Make Us Longer.
and
Alkaline Trio - Crimson
Both way enjoyable, although I've hardly listened to the first as the second has all but dominated my stereo.
-
Well, this was a download rather than a buy, but I'm hell of excited about it, so I'm putting it here anyway:
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
For serious, get this when it comes out. It's a bit cheerier than Michigan, but just as good. And the track names are ridiculous.
-
65daysofstatic - unreleased/unreleasable vol 1.
Their whole discography for teh win!
I think I have everything anyway. U/U vol 1&2, The Fall of Math, Retreat! Retreat! and Hole should be the lot, it's not like they have millions of releases.
-
Pre-ordered Sufjan Stevens Illinois a few days ago (and already have ticket for a show in a couple months when they come here) ;)
-
Friday I found
Talking Heads-More Songs About Buildings and Food
on vinyl. I am looking for '77 and Fear of Music on vinyl as well if anyone has any leads. If you happen to find this in your town I will gladly reimburse+ postage.
-
Pre-ordered Sufjan Stevens Illinois a few days ago (and already have ticket for a show in a couple months when they come here) ;)
Fuck you.
I say that in jealousy. That sexy bastard hasn't added TX dates. But until he does, fuck you.
-
DYS - Wolf Pack.
Right on.
Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked (brand new and fuckin' awesome)
Iron Maiden - Powerslave (AAACEEEES HIIIIIIIGH!)
-
Pre-ordered Sufjan Stevens Illinois a few days ago (and already have ticket for a show in a couple months when they come here) ;)

ha ha :P Also Illinois shipped today, so says an email
-
Queen Adreena - F.M. Doll on limited edition red vinyl.
-
just bought 'Transatlanticism'- Death Cab for Cutie.
good, but sometimes a bit too slow.
-
On Saturday, I got System of a Down's Mesmerize and Circa Survive's Juturna.
Circa Survive is the first band since At The Drive-In that I've bought their CD based purely on the singer's voice. I seem to have a thing for screaming boys. ;)
-
Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked (brand new and fuckin' awesome)
Ooo, I need that! Is it really as good as I'm hoping? Not sure I'll be able to afford it though, The Now Denial are playing tonight and I've heard rumours of an amazing distro they have with them so I have a feeling my record budget for a while might be getting blown there.
-
Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge - My Chemical Romance
I can feel the knife on my throat already, you murderous bastards.
Just bought this too. I've been depressed lately and need to wallow. Also, new Ryan Adams and pre-ordered the new Shakira. (Yeah, I love her. And what?)
-
Um, Decemberist, Mountain Goats, Iron & Wine, Death from Above 1979, and the new Gorillaz that I have yet to pick up but is on ze reserve.
-

I thought that the month early release was a rumor? Well if it isn't make sure and tell me. I need that shit like Whitney needs smack, yo.
-
Lickgoldensky - s/t
Yacopsae - Sanitys Dawn
Bucket Full Of Teeth - IV
-
(http://www.filter-mag.com/images/175.gorillaz.04.28.05.jpg)
Word.
-
The block party LP (you wanna make something out of it??)
Some weird japanese Ratatat 10" single found on ebay.
-
I ended up getting the Epoxies - Stop the Future as well as Demon Days.
-
nothing like being able to get LP records for a couple quarters at a Friends of the Library sale.
Edgar Winters Group - They Only Come Out at Night
(the highlight of which is Frankenstein)
Jean Luc Ponty - Cosmic Messenger
-
Um, Decemberist, Mountain Goats, Iron & Wine, Death from Above 1979, and the new Gorillaz that I have yet to pick up but is on ze reserve.
Ooooh, I love that album! The liner notes and press release were pretty dark, mind..
-
Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked
I shouldn't have, but it was £3 cheaper than most places in the CD shop in the union. Oh well..*headbangs til his neck snaps*
-
Sleater-Kinney The Woods
Jane's Addiction-Nothing's Shocking
Avail-One Wrench
The Beta Band-Heroes
All on Vinyl BEEATCHES.
-
The Bravery [self titles]
British Sea Power - Open Season
Chemical Bros. - Push the Button
-
Men In Search Of The Perfect Weapon - s/t (I have a feeling this has silk-screened artwork. Mmm, nice)
Portraits of Past - Binary
Coalesce - There Is Nothing New Under The Sun (only £2.50!)
Just ordered that lot from Parade of Spectres. And thanks to this thread I've been reminded that I still have to pick up the Nile and Sleater-Kinney albums.
-
Iron and Wine -- Woman King EP
Fiery Furnaces -- EP
-
Mood Ruff - Antarctica: Cold Cold World EP
Strangely listed under Rock at Best Buy.
Spoon - Girls Can Tell
Equally strangely listed under Spoons at Best Buy.
-
Just went and saw Sightings. I bought these:
Castle Moat b/w Invisible Coats 7"
Arrived in Gold LP
-
Whilst in Montreal I bought
Common Rider- Last Wave Rockers
and a Moral Crux album I can't recall the name of.
-
Transatlanticism- Death Cab.
-
onelinedrawing - The Volunteers
On Saturday, I'm going to pick up Sleater-Kinney's new album, The Woods.
-
I just got back from getting The Woods. Double vinyl, green/brown coloured, gatefold... the geek in me needs a cold shower right about now. Musically it's good, seems like they've been listening to some riff-heavy stuff recently. Makes a nice move from the poppier 'One Beat', although I'm only on side two so far.
Edit: Side four is fucking silk-screened. It's the prettiest thing this side of that Crimson Curse single-sided 12" with all the flies on it. They seem to be on a mission to make every sad little geek on the planet happy, bless 'em.
I also got the Riisteterror 7" last night. Riistetyt and Sick Terror combine to form one massive thrash monster. I haven't played it, but I'm expecting speed witha touch of crust, and hopefully excellence.
-
Just got Sufjan's Illinois in the mail.
I win.
-
I just got far too much mail:
Pengo-Beaten Back To Infancy 3" CD-R
Wooden Wand and the Vanishing Voice- Supplication Jam 3" CD-R
Eyes and Arms of Smoke-Birthing Timbers 3" CD-R
The Skaters-Dark Rye Bread LP
Migrantes-Moon Journals LP
Dead Machines-What Time Will Tell CS
Demonic Yellow Swans CD-R
-
How is that Wooden Wand... CD? I was thinking of picking up a copy from sncl. Oh, and where did you order the Demonic Yellow Swans from? I'm quite keen on them but I have no idea which distros carry them.
-
The Wooden wand CD-R is just OK, nothing special. They have some other stuff coming out later in the year such as a re-issue of their first proper LP Xiao and a new one Buck Dharma that are probably going to be better.
I bought the Demonic Yellow swans CD-R direct from Hunglikeahorse!? tapes http://www.angelfire.com/droid/hunglikeahorse/ it's just some live jams from one of their tours and probably not the best starting place. I highly reccomend the Dreamed Yellow Swans CD on Pacrec http://iheartnoise.com as their best work to date.
I went looking round some UK based distros (since yr in Leeds) that carry this kind of stuff and found a good selection of yellow swans here http://www.volcanictongue.com/yellowswans.html
-
Thanks! The only D. Yellow Swans I've gotten hold of so far is mp4s of 'Bring The Neon War Home'. That's a pretty great distro actually, that Afrirampo CD is pretty tempting, and they have John Fahey and Gang Wizard too... hmm, I might have to do some saving and make a hefty order with these guys.
-
You like Gang Wizard too? Rawk! That distro has some things I would like but the exchange rate ($2 to one pound) plus intl shipping kills everything. Hey, if you've got MSN, AIM or Yahoo messenger just drop me a line on one of those. My names are listed in my profile.
-
I shall do, although I'll have to stay off it for a bit since I'm meant to be doing revision and ought to get back to it in a minute. Pesky stuff.
I haven't heard much Gang Wizard, just a few mp3s, which is why that CD is so tempting. I keep playing 'Someone Shit In The Pool Again / Running With Halo In Hand', I love the vocals on that. Vicious. I got told about them when I was asking for recommendations of heavy, whacked-out stuff on another forum. A guy pointed me in the direction of them, D Yellow Swans, Burmese and some other good stuff, and since the list he posted included Wolf Eyes and Bastard Noise I knew it would probably be quality.
-
Then uncle opium has a treat for you. Here's a free to download live album on their lead guitarist's lable. http://tapemountain.com/longhaul.html My college roommates so hated it when I played this out loud.
-
Nice! Thanks man.
-
Wilco - Summer Teeth
I also stole a shitload of my dad's classical albums and burned them onto my computer.
-
Orangetree -- Orangetree
Replacing the album taken by my sister. Reliving my college days. That sort of thing. I'm very happy about it ^___^
-
Just got Sufjan's Illinois in the mail.
I win.
psh got it before then and it has been playing over and over here :P
-
the New Hot Hot Heat album, Elevator... and though everyone seems to hate it, I actually like it... tis fun
-
The new Hard Fi album.
Can't be arsed to listen to it just yet though.
-
I just realized... I'm getting into the really bad habit of buying a new CD like every two days... recently, it's been Iron And Wine (WOman King, as well as Endless Numbered Days), Metric, Hot Hot Heat, Futureheads, Coheed And Cambria, Thrice, Fiery Furnaces (Blueberry Boat, and the EP of their singles/B-sides), had to get a new copy of DFA1979 cause I lost mine, and Rancid (indestructible... ... not as good as some of their older stuff, alas)
-
I just purchased
Rheostatics--2067.
Er.....electronic, much?
To be honest, I've been listening to it for all of ten minutes, and for some strange reason I can't comprehend--it's mesmerizing. I loffffffffffffffffffffs me some Rheostatics.
=blushes= Okay, so it was an impulse purchase at the used music store. I say it's worth it just for the introduction in the insert. ^^
=mumbles=AndMyFriendPurchasedThrice =coughgoodfornothingangstyemokidcough=
-
Motorhead - Best Of.
2 CD's of Motorhead stuff, extended versions, live tracks, Headgirl track, Girlschool's cover of 'Bomber', and a rad version of 'Motorhead' by Hawkwind: £4.99

Alkaline Trio - Crimson.
Very awesome. I have three of their CDs running in the changer, it's fun to hear how they've progressed.

Carcass - Necroticism...
Suffocation - Effigy of the Forgotten

-
Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked
I shouldn't have, but it was £3 cheaper than most places in the CD shop in the union. Oh well..*headbangs til his neck snaps*
Of course you should have man. It may not be their best album, but it's still better than 95% of the death metal out there right now. "Cast Down the Heretic" motherfucker.
a pack of wolves mentioned Yacopsae. I first heard of them in high school, I was reading a zine (Heartattack or Suburban Voice I think [maybe Punk Planet, but seeing as that zine sucks, probably not]). Based on the description, I bought one of their CD's, and upon hearing it, nearly shit my pants. What a fucking awesome band.
-
I'll give my last three purchases.
Gorillaz - Demon Days
Mike Doughty - Haughty Melodic
Belle and Sebastian - Push Barman To Open

-
Community garage sales = ORRSUM! I bought stuff by Echo & The Bunnymen, Flashlight Brown, The Snitches, Po' Girl, a mid-90's Matador band called Pizzacato Five, and a vinyl copy of Gang Of Four's Solid Gold.
HOT.
-
Yay for eBay and cheap CD's.
sub.bionic - you i lov///
Common - Be
M83 - Before The Dawn Heals Us
mellowdrone - A Demonstration of Intellectual Property

atdi anthology thing
I heard about that. Is there anything on that album worthy of attention if I already have all their albums?
I found 3 Inches of Blood - Advance and Vanquish at a pawn shop for $3 this past weekend.
-
Schweet! One of the best albums of last year, no question.
-
a mid-90's Matador band called Pizzacato Five
Are they any good? I've heard the name about but never heard them. What kind of stuff are they?
-
Mogwai-Young Team
AC Newman-The Slow WOnder
these were like a month or 2 ago
being poor sucks
-
metric - old world underground where are you now CD just appeared on my doorstep the other day
the uk release has only just come out, and theyre promoting like mad, i want them to be big, but still kinda dont... ¬_¬ if you get what i mean
recently got elevator too, i like it, dont care what jeph says, hell, i like jam bands too *harrumph*
-
Bloodline - Werewolf Training
Also I ordered Xasthur's Nocturnal Poisoning and The Funeral Of Being, found them for $5 each.
-
Bloodline - Werewolf Training
Also I ordered Xasthur's Nocturnal Poisoning and The Funeral Of Being, found them for $5 each.
Really.. Good job! Nocturnal Poisoning is one of the best BM albums ever.
Bloodline is the band with the guy from Satanic Warmaster, is it not? (His name slips my mind right this second..)
Anyways, I've heard good things about them. . what are they like? I love Satanic Warmaster.. Strength & Honour is great.
-
Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked
I shouldn't have, but it was £3 cheaper than most places in the CD shop in the union. Oh well..*headbangs til his neck snaps*
This album is great! Fucking relentless...
As someone above mentioned, it's not their best album (my vote goes to Amongst The Catacombs of Nephren-Ka or In Their Darkened Shrines) but still worth the money.
-
Bloodline - Werewolf Training
Also I ordered Xasthur's Nocturnal Poisoning and The Funeral Of Being, found them for $5 each.
Where'd you order them from? I've been meaning to get some Xasthur for ages, but no-one on soulseek ever has any for some odd reason.
-
I don't believe Bloodline has anyone from Satanic Warmaster, it has Nattefrost in it instead. I haven't listened to it enough to form a real concrete opinion on it yet, but so far its pretty good. As for the Xasthur, I got them at http://www.foreverunderground.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc? but i got the last copies they had left.

I got Nocturnal Poisoning and The Funeral of Being from Redstream (www.redstream.org)
I also bought To Violate The Oblivious from Full Moon Productions (www.fmp666.com)
Of course, the prices weren't as low as $5.
I found Xasthur pretty easily on Soulseek. You might want to try out DC++, another file sharing thing. If you need help finding good hubs feel free to PM me.
--
Noyk: As for Bloodline, you're right. For some reason I thought Nazgul from Satanic Warmaster was in it. . I guess because of the Werewolf thing (He is in a band called The True Werwolf)
-
Newest album purchase:
AFI - Sing The Sorrow
And it's about damn time too
-
I finally got round to purchasing Ted Leo and The Pharmasists' Hearts of Oak. Wicked album.
-
In a "support your local unfeasably overpriced independent record store" move, today I bought:
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
for the princely sum of £14.99. But it's surely worth every penny.
-
Faithless - Forever Faithless: The Greatest Hits
-
TMBG's best of... great fun
TEENAGE FANCLUB!!!!! OH JOY!!!!!!
...and finally got the pavement DVD which is ace.
-
Just got The Decembrists' Picaresque, as well as The Song Remains the Same (the Led Zeppelin Live at Madison Square Gardens + all the weird random scenes) DVD
Both are kick-ass
-
I bought a soundtrack I've been wanting for awhile, the macross plus soundtrack
-
The Black Eyed Peas - Monkey Buisness
and Built To Spill - There's Nothing Wrong With Love
-
Gorillaz - Demon Days
I really like this album, better than their debut even.
-
I recently purchased Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies to Paralyze and Eagles of Death Metal - Peace, Love, and Death Metal online for a super-thrifty $1.50 each.
-
Coldplay - X&Y
People were expecting so much from this album; less than raving crits of genius and sales under 5X platinum would be considered a disappointment. Although more than satisfying, Coldplay's new album is still leaning towards their old 'sound' - although with a more mainstream edge. Not exactly revolutionary. They seem to erk from being even mentioned in the same sentence as U2, but Chris Martin's vocals in a number of the songs on X&Y completely mirror Bono's in the likes of Joshua Tree. They've lost the surrealist ethereal dream feel from Parachutes and A Rush of Blood To The Head. It's as if someone has shot Chris Martin in the head and let him drift down to earth. I'm sure you've all heard Speed of Sound on the radio it's the most 'Clocks-esque' on the album. All in all - it's still a damn good 'driving in the rain at night' CD. Buy it for a pleasurable listen, not an OK Computer revolution.
-

OOH! Where? $1.50 U.S.?

I'm sure you've all heard 'Speed of Sound' on the radio it's the most 'Clocks-esque' on the album.
Nothing other than 'Clocks' itself is more Clocks-esque than 'Speed of Sound'. Shameless recycling.
-
Growing-Live CD
These guys are one of my favorites right now, though one thing I've always wondered about is why they are so often compared to instru-metal groups like Isis or Pelican when their sound on records seems a fair bit prettier and more ambient. This Live album answered my question. The first few tracks sounded not vastly dis-similar to the recorded versions I've heard on their albums but on track five they simply exploded into a barrage of truly crushing droned out riffs.
Mammal and Hive Mind-I've Been Sick CS
Really depressing noise jams. Made me feel like it was a gloomy january day in june.
Total Life-S/T CS
One of the members of Growing does some solo jams. First side is pretty noisy and repetitive. Like the second side better, a great deal prettier but by no means ambient.
-
just picked up the new White Stripes (Get Behind Me Satan), as well as Death From Above's "Heads Up"...
both are great, but I prefer the DFA
-
Black Sabbath - Paranoid (Figured I should have it on CD)
Darkthrone - Under a Funeral Moon (Only one Darkthrone album I don't have now.)
-
I actually burnt these. I feel bad, but I literally don't have a penny to spare. I had the Shins one on my computer for a while, pretty good album. Franz Ferdinand was a "meh".
The Shins - Shutes Too Narrow
The Dismemberment Plan - !
Franz Ferdinand - S/T
-
Murkádee-chain jing mines
carpal tullar-the shimmering masterpie
The Speakers-daisycutters,
bear & soda,
the happy birthday album,
and yeats is greats: the speakers
cd baby...meh, so much still to search through
-
GET BEHIND ME SATAN! what a great cd, i love it. (White Stripes) and a couple of weeks before that it was Transatlanticism (Death Cab)
-
The ClickClickDrone label sampler called 'Red Chair, Blue Chair'. It hasn't arrived yet, but it should be good.
-
last three i belive:
Rump Shaker - Suburban Legends
Demon Days - Gorrilaz
Picaresque - The Decemberists
-

Franz Ferdinand - S/T
I love Chutes Too Narrow and !. How did you like The Plan's early stages?
-
Let's assume that "purchases" is meant in the figurative sense. The last actual purchase I made was probably: (http://www.iceberg.lu/images/reviews/tosca.jpeg)
or
(http://cover6.cduniverse.com/MuzeAudioArt/470/477538.jpg)
both of which are quite good, though as far as Tosca goes I have a preference for the more recent Delhi 9.
The last albums that were given to me:
Thievery Corporation - The Cosmic Game (A big disappointment)
M.I.A. - Arular
Venetian Snares - Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett
Nikitov - Amulet
Masha Qrella - Unsolved, Remained
Boom Bip - Blue Eyed In The Red Room
LCD Soundsystem - Self-Titled
Kings of Convenience - Riot on an Empty Street
New Idea Society - You Are Awake Or Asleep
Roots Manuva - Awfully Deep
-
Your list of albums is what we in the buisness call a "winner".
Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett is an outrageously awesome album, and the fact you own it makes me happy. Also, Tosca, Thievery Corporation, M.I.A, Boom Bip, and Roots Manuva get you yet more bonus points, even though the Cosmic Game wasn't great. It has a few good tracks on it, but the hundreds of guest vocalists were a mistake, no doubt.

That and the fact that there were no songs with Pam Bricker, which is just sad considering she killed herself right before the album was released.
It's weird to me that one man can put out a decent album and then release an unbelievable piece of excrement like "Winnipeg is a Frozen Shithole" within a two month span.
-
I recently purchased Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies to Paralyze and Eagles of Death Metal - Peace, Love, and Death Metal online for a super-thrifty $1.50 each.
OOH! Where? $1.50 U.S.?
Despite the fact that I have both of those, along with pretty much anything with Josh Homme in it, I would also like to know where you acquired them for teh cheap.
I picked up Get Behind Me Satan on Friday. See that thread for elaboration on that.
-
I just bought the "Tapestry" album by Carole King - An oldie, but amazing songwriting. To add to the old music-ness, I bought a Jim Morrison poster. :D
-
coldplay X&Y has to be
-
I gots myself Archetecture in Helssinki - In Case We Die. Before that, I got Logan Whitehurst and the Junior Science Club - Goodbye My 4-Track. Logan is the former drummer of the Velvet Teen.
-
Finally picked up Old World Underground Where Are You Now (by Metric)... also got Deliverance, by Opeth
-
New System of a Down, and "Out of Exile" - New Audioslave.
both are good times, bonus points since audioslave is more or less safe to play at work
-
Bonus points since Audioslave is generic corporate alterna-rock?
-
But if you have to listen to generic corporate alterna-rock, it might as well be Audioslave :D \m/
My latest acquired shit... Iron & Wine album, lots of Bob Dylan.
-
Hum - Downward is Heavenward, Husker Du - Metal Circus, and some comp from Relapse records as it was cheap.
-
I purchased Cephalic Carnage's Conforming to Abnormality on vinyl.
Worth every penny.
-
Nice Ray, nice.
My friend just burnt my a copy of the new Gorillaz album, its quite smashing. Danke, Angela!
-
Hmmm.... anyone pick up the new Foo Fighters? The new single they released seems lyrically repetitive... am I alone in thinking that?
-
It's weird to me that one man can put out a decent album and then release an unbelievable piece of excrement like "Winnipeg is a Frozen Shithole" within a two month span.
Don't forget that he put out Infolepsy in December as well. The man has a gruelling release schedule. It's not great either, too much of the Gabber end of breakcore, and not enough of the Drill n Bass. I like the beats to be all over the place, not 230 times a minute.
In other news, I just bought the Reagenz album. That shit is what ambient is all about, my friend. Awesome.
-
just picked up the new White Stripes (Get Behind Me Satan), as well as Death From Above's "Heads Up"...
both are great, but I prefer the DFA
DFA1979 has a NEW album?!?!
-
Oh - today I got NINA SIMONE: ANTHOLOGY! YAY!!! I'll be surprised if anyone here listens to the likes of her, but she has the most beautiful voice. And I got Voodoo Child, the Jimi Hendrix double disc.... good classics...
-

They're coming out with an album and releasing it in 3 different versions. One is the regular style, another is with a full band (guitars, keyboards), and the third is a female cover record or something. XP
Pitchfork has the news.

I don't mind my beats being chopped and broken and played with, but I think that the Amen is a bit played out. It's 2005, find a different sample.
Gabber is the reason that people who hate electronic music, hate electronic music.
My favorite ambience lately: Fennesz - Venice, Marsen Jules - Herbstlaub (although the latter is borderline fluxion in its minimalism).
My two favorite electronic finds in the past few months:
Triola - Triola Im Fünftonraum
Lusine - Serial Hodgepodge

Today I purchasized electro-shock blues by eels.
I am so happy I bought it, it really kicks ass alot, and uh...I was worried it would be like too sad or depressing or whatever but yeah it's really good. Really good.
Seriously it's good.
-
Misfits-Walk Amoung Us
Balzac-Beyond the Darkness (crazy Japanese I don't know)
the Lawrence Arms-Cocktails and Dreams
Franz Ferdinand- S/T with bonus CD
Communique-Poison Arrows
Youth Group-Skeleton Jar

I bought four CD's yesterday to kill some time. It was stuff I already had in mp3 form but I liked it and want it in my actual collection.
I bought:
ISIS : Celestial
Isis = awesome = enough said.
ISIS : SGNL>05
Same as above w/ cool remix track by JK Broadrick who also has a remix on the Oceanic: Remixes & Reintepretations double-disc.
ATMOSPHERE : Seven's Travels
Really cool hip hop/rap CD. Some awesome samples went into it, and more than a few parts reminded me of Sage Francis for some reason.
TEAM SLEEP : Self Titled
Waited ages for this, not dissappointed. Really cool mix of trip-hop and acoustic/electric rock. Chino has a lot more room to show off his vocals and the guest appearances are just as impressive. He also gets a chance to act just as an instrumentalist on Tomb Of Liegia, where he does the piano/keyboard work. Vocals on that track are taken care of by Mary Timony, awesome voice. Random fact, bass work on the album is done by the former bassist of Tinfed.
-
Jem - Finally Woken
Rise Against - Siren Song of the Counter Culture
Both quality, more the former than the latter, but it's all good.
-
John McLaughlin - Extrapolation
I still have to pay me padre back for it actually... It's not officially mine yet. But god is it good. This is shotting straight to the top ten jazz records I've ever heard.
-
Acceptance - Phantoms
Coldplay - X&Y
Motion City Soundtrack - Commit This To Memory
Radiohead - Kid A
I'll probably be picking up Volcano by Gatsby's American Dream later this week, too.
-
Bad Religion-No Control
Bouncing Souls- Manical Laughter
The Shipping News
-
I pre-ordered Dredg's Catch Without Arms t-shirt bundle a few days back. I thought it was shipping the 21st, but apparently that's when it arrives; so that's awesome.
-
My latest purchases:
Dark Tranquillity-Character
Good stuff in their latest effort, not as good as their greats like Gallery and Mind's I.
Morgion-Cloaked by Ages, Crowned in Earth
Fairly good epic doom-death from America of all places, but the lameness of the lyrics make me cringe. "Watching and waiiiiiiiting, waiiiiiiting and waaaatching!"
Shape of Despair-Angels of Distress I love funeral doom, and SoD is one of the best new funeral bands out there. A wall of depressive heaviness.
and Enslaved-Below the Lights Maybe my new favorite black metal band. Progressiveness mixes perfectly with songwriting, and brutality and melody in all the proper portions. Classic, though I hear that Isa is even better.
-
the Morgion album and the Shape of Despair album are both excellent (especially the SoD one)
Are you a fan of Nortt?
-
Bjork - Homogenic
SO PRETTY
-
Life of Agony - Broken Valley
-
Mr. Bungle - For No Reason
-

My two favorite electronic finds in the past few months:
Triola - Triola Im Fünftonraum
Lusine - Serial Hodgepodge
I love the beats cut up beyonf recognition, which is where the whole drill n bass thing comes in. It's the gabber style 'dum dum du du dum' at 200+BPM that just bores the hell out of me, which is why I ain't a huge fan of those two albums. It's pretty fun live (for a bit), but on CD, just dull.
I still find it pretty funny that this whole 'cutting edge' breakcore scene is based around nothing but the Amen Break. It's a nice break, I'm not denying it, and seeing the massive variation you can get from one sample is cool, but like you say, it's getting a little played out. I really don't see why they can't apply the same ideas to some new drum sounds, but if I look hard wnough I'm sure I can find people who are destroying other prefectly innocent drum loops.
You are clearly a man of admirable (not to mention obscure) taste, so I'm all over those 4 albums you mentioned. If I can find them. It could well be a struggle, as I've never heard of any of them, and that usually means they are hassle to find.
On an album purchasing note, I just got Cali Agents - How The West Was One off Ebay for £3 including P&P. Score!
-

Are you a fan of Nortt?
I've hear of him, yet haven't heard him. From what I've heard, looks like good stuff.
-
My latest album purchase? It's Grimis' Poets, Assassins and Shepherds. Very good.
-
Mine was Gorillaz's Demon Days. I got the special edition so it came with a DVD with the music video for Feel Good Inc.
-
My latest album purchase was the new Acceptance CD called "Phantoms". Very very very nice CD :) Might I suggest tracks 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, and 11 - my personal fave being track 10.
-
The Cure - Disintegration
-
Low - The Great Destroyer
as a present, haven't heard it yet, but I will...soon
-
When I buy music from the local record store, I buy things in 'threes'.
One album that I've heard before (be it a concert, radio, or a friends place, or even an old one i've lost) that i really liked.
One album that I've heard good things about from others that have good musical tastes but haven't heard myself.
One from an existing favorite artist of mine just to expand their collection.
So following that formula, here is what i just picked up today:
Gorillaz - Demon Days
Architecture in Helsinki - In Case We Die
The Dzihan & Kamien Orchestra - Live in Vienna
I haven't had a chance to hear the first two much because D&K has been stuck in the cd player since I got home. Simply amazing. I still haven't found anyone else on this site that listens to them, but its not really everyones bag I guess.
-
On Saturday I bought
New Morning, Changing Weather by T(I)NC of course.
I had a burned ceedee with quite a few of their songs on it so I figured I should support them by finally picking up an album...
and what an album!!
-
The last CD I bought was a sup pop sampler off the mighty eBay, not a bad purchase. Already had a few songs on there. Before that, I don't know. Probably Le Tigre from their Manchester gig or the latest Idlewild, which even I can't admit to finding pleasureable. A saving Best Of would have been better than this drivel. Sort it out Roddy, your boyish good looks and checked shirts won't save you this time.
-
I ordered the following CDs off Amazon for my birthday:
I Am Kloot - Natural History
NMH - On Avery Island
NMH - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
65daysofstatic - The Fall of Math
The Decemberists - Picaresque
Modest Mouse - This Is a long drive for someone lalalaa....
Woot for behind the times.
-
Went on a spree.
Bear VS. Shark - Terrorhawk
Fugazi - The Argument
The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin
Built to Spill - Perfect From Now On
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Modest Mouse - This is a Long Drive For Someone With Nothing to Think About
Beck - Odelay
The Futureheads - The Futureheads
The Mountain Goats - The Sunset Tree
Feist - Let it Die
Eels - Electro-Shock Blues
Bright Eyes - The Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground
-
where you get the long drive?
-
Tower Records. That and a local used CD shop are the places I went to yesterday. It was for Father's day, since my dad loves to shop at CD stores.
-
on it! *ditches work to buy music*
-
Kyuss-Blues For the Red Sun
Kyuss-Welcome To Sky Valley
Finally Ending my spree of buying obscuro micro edition stuff are a couple of CD's I've meant to buy for a long, long time. The first one has some great stuff on it along with a few bits that seem kind of pointless like brief instrumentals that sound like half completed songs. The Second one is interesting but the way the songs are organised into three suits with no bookmarks in-between songs is annoying as I can't skip straight to a track I like. All of this stuff is nice and heavy I've been having a fair bit of a craving for slow heavy stuff lately, that nonetheless still has a structure to it.
-
CONCLUSIONS OMG
The Soft Bulletin > Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Fugazi = awesomely experimental/melodic with their sound
Bear Vs. Shark rocks my socks hardcore
Built to Spill still rules
The Decemberists =/= Neutral Milk Hotel
This is a Long Drive > Lonesome Crowded West
The Sunset Tree = best Mountain Goats album
The Futureheads know how to rock their pop socks
Feist is a beautiful singer and great songwriter
Bright Eyes is actually good
Odelay >>>>>>> Guerro (contrary to what my friend believes)
and all of my recently-aquired albums are teh sex

I bought InMe's new album White Butterfly.
I don't normally like music as heavy as InMe but something about them is different and I really like them and this album is brilliant, take Overgrown Eden, multiply it by 100 and you've got White Butterfly.
My Favourite songs on the album are 7 Weeks, Faster the Chase and Angels with Snipers which is a bonus track on the limited edition.
-
The Album Leaf - One Day I'll Be On Time
Alkaline Trio - Crimson (finally)
The Epoxies - Stop The Future
-
Start off? Really any of them. My personal favourites are the earliest ones on Asian Man. The new one's great too. For starters, I'd have to go with From Here To Infirmary, however.
It was their most pop-punk album I think, fast and loud, but very catchy. Lyrically, it's also quite funny (in a very dark way).
-
Alkaline Trio - Crimson, and Beck - Guero.... both are fun... but in different ways :P
-

I'm going to have to disagree and suggest Goddamnit. I think that is the album that best exemplifies Alkaline Trio. Not to mention I personally think it is their best. Hows that for a first post....whabam. Hey Juls!
-
Everyone give a nice warm welcome to my friend for joining ye olde forum! Yay for Robyn :)
-
I was bored...I needed some entertainment.
-
The Album Leaf - One Day I'll Be On Time
Excellent. Initially that was my favorite of his work, though after multiple listens to In A Safe Place those two are now tied
. "Vermillion" is still one of my favorite tracks though.
-
I fell in love with In A Safe Place, it's my studying for chem album. After listening to it so many times, I decided to get the other popular one by then. I'm loving it.
-
Mr. Postman just brought me these:
The Lucksmiths - Warmer Corners
Architecture in Helsinki - In Case We Die
Boyracer - Happenstance
Hefner - Boxing Hefner
-
Eastern Youth-What Can You See From Your Place?
Hamasaki Ayumi-Duty
The Soundtrack to Bridget Jones' Diary(Because I am quite lame)
I guess being in Japan would explain my J-pop, J(whatever the hell Eastern Youth counts as) kick.
-
Thunderbirds are now! umm...someone is borrowing them now and I am lazy but their old cd doctor, lawyer indian chief or something and just mustach or something like that...
someone else put their last one in a must have section but it is so studio it hurts. I got the cds from the show I saw them at and it just takes so much away the way they recorded it, ah well.
Also Enon's new cd with DVD which is not as great as the High Society one...nope, but that DVD, fun stuff.
Oh also Enon vinyl of In This City which is mostly that and remixes but I have not heard it yet.
-

The Futureheads know how to rock their pop socks
Feist is a beautiful singer and great songwriter
Bright Eyes is actually good
Odelay >>>>>>> Guerro (contrary to what my friend believes)
1) I'd say "post their punk songs" but that's just me.
2) I agree, except when she decides to go all Diana Ross disco-tastic.
3) YES
4) I'd use fewer > if I were you, mostly because they're practically the same album.

I'm liking teh NMH love.

Well, that rating wasn't too objective. I like both albums, but my current argument caused me to overexaggurate. Stupid friend. XP
-
here are my new purchases
sleater-kinney : the woods
bear vs. shark : terrorhawk
architecture in helsinki : in case we die
the go-betweens : oceans apart
maximo park : a certain trigger
blood brothers : burn, piano island, burn
zounds.
-

It's cool. I was just mostly making the obligatory "hurr hurr Odelay II" joke. I love both albums, but Odelay pwns.
-
Cat Power-You are Free
-
^ stellar album, I nearly threw it away on the first listen, but it's a real grower...
-
Yeah, with only once through I am liking it, though I was just lucky enough to see that it was that kind of album.
-
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
American Analog Set - Updates
Sea Ray - Stars At Noon
Lismore - We Could Connect Or We Could Not
-
I only recently bought one:
(http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0000CDLA7.03.LZZZZZZZ.jpg)
Tis good
-
DREAM THEATER!!!
*high-fives*
-
:D my friends got me hooked on their music :D
-
Cat Power-You are Free
Great album, yeah.
I picked up
Isis - Oceanic Remixes/Reinterpretations
Sunn O))) - White2
-
I grabbed a copy of Rusted Root's "When I Woke" -- been meaning to pick that up for ages-- and Audioslaves latest, which I haven't even listened to yet.

Death From Above 1979 - Live EP (iTunes exclusive)
I hate iTunes and have no idea why I bought this except that it was only $3 and DFA 1979 are the rad rock.
-
we are wolves - "non-stop je te plie en deux"
les georges leningrad - "sur les traces de black eskimo" and "deux hot dogs moutarde chou"
unhinged french-canadians dancing, shouting, and playing synths = too much fun
-
what does 'plie' mean?
-
Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Pig Lib
Beck - Loser EP
Supergrass - Life on Other Planets
Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days
Built to Spill - Live
-
how's SM& the jicks and Iron and Wine?
-
MF Doom - Operation: Doomsday
Declaime - Illmindmuzik
M83 - Don't Save Us From The Flames
-
Marc Bolan and T. Rex - The Essential Collection.
<3 T. Rex
-
how's SM& the jicks and Iron and Wine?
Both are really excellent; I'm going to go as far as to say that I like Iron & Wine's Our Endless Numbered Days more than I like The Creek Drank the Cradle. 1% of 1 on SM & the Jicks's Pig Lib is especially good.
-
I also dig Cat Power - You Are Free, especially "Good Woman" and "He War". Can anyone recommend Moon Pix? How does it compare to You Are Free?
My newest purchases will be (very soon) both New Pornographers albums. I just can't get over how good those guys are.
-
Just got Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked today, because the record store fucked up my order, and instead of the Orange Goblin album 'The Big Black' they ordered me an album by a band called 'Big Black'.
Incompetent fucktards.
-
Although Big Black are actually pretty good... not that that helps you at all.
-
Kraftwerk - Minimum Maximum
Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc. 7"
R.E.M. - Automatic For The People
-
Sonic Youth: Sonic Nurse
The Shins: Oh, Inverted World
Flaming Lips: Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Sleater-Kinney: The Woods
All the other day, before that, it was Bloc Party, Louis XIV, and Arcade Fire.
-
Flaming Lips: Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
I still remember the day I bought that album (not exact date, but details, weather, etc.) and the first time I listened to it.
-
Hot Hot Heat - Elevator
!!! - Get Up single
M83 - DeadCities, RedSeas & LostGhosts
-
Big Black could be the best band in the world. I don't care! I wanted Orange Gobliney goodness!
-
Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Pig Lib
Beck - Loser EP
Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days
Built to Spill - Live
excellent choices!
today i bought:
pedro the lion - winners never quit
ancient greeks - the song is you
euphone - the lakewood
mmmm... mine ears declare these albums delicious!
-
Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It in People
Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans
-
I'll second Big Black being a great band, but getting the wrong item is always really annoying. I've heard a couple Orange Goblin songs and they're actually pretty good. As for stuff I got lately, well I doubt anyone else here likes Finnish free folk but here I go:
The Anaksimandros-River of Finland
Kuupuu-Illusia 7"
The Skaters-Crowned Purple Gowns CS
-
excellent choices!
Hey, thanks. :) Nice signature, by the way.
-
Flaming Lips: Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
I still remember the day I bought that album (not exact date, but details, weather, etc.) and the first time I listened to it.
I can never get through the whole thing. I like The Soft Bulletin a whole lot more.

Soft Bulletin is a billion times better than Yoshimi, but that album was my first experience with the Flaming Lips, something which ended up changing my world.
-
The Boy Least Likey To - The Best Party Ever
-
I like finnish folk music.
What genre are Big Black anyway? I doubt my local HMV will sell it any time soon. I once bought a Discordance Axis album from them because I felt sorry for it, having been there two years or so.
-
Big Black was Steve Albini's first band. picture 80's Hardcore mixed with drum machine.
-
Big Black was Steve Albini's band in the '80s. They're kind of hardcore post-punk, I guess, or maybe even proto-industrial. Brilliantly abrasive songs consistently less than 3 minutes long.
"Songs About Fucking" has great cover art, too. Heh.
Edit: Ah, beat me to it.

-
Who's Steve Albini?
-
Never mind post on Steve Albini not needed.
-
I looked him up. He produces music I don't like in a style I'm not keen on.
Maaaaan, this new Nile album is pretty rocking.
-
I looked him up. He produces music I don't like in a style I'm not keen on..
Have you listened to it,, or are you just saying "you dont like it" based on Genre?
-
Don't like Nirvana, or the Pixies, NIN I can take or leave and in the case of The Fragile it's 'leave', I find most GY!BE boring, Veruca Salt are...ok-ish I guess. McClusky I don't like either. Flogging Molly I quite like what I've heard, so I'll give him that. However, I'm pretty fine with that generalisation, especially as it says on his wikipedia article he 'deplores overdubbing, and generally keeps vocals "low in the mix", or much less prominent than is usual in rock music.' Which style of production I find bloody annoying myself.
So yeah. It compares him to Black Flag though, so it can't be so bad, maybe I'll pick it up.
-
Andrew Bird - The Mysterious Production of Eggs
It's a real Quality Album.
-
Pit Er Pat-Shakey
These guys opened for Pinback in Chicago since they live there and my friend saw them which is how I found out about them. Good stuff.
-
I should check them out then. Pinback are up there with sleep, pie and cartoons.
Jets To Brazil - Perfecting Lonliness (finally)
-
Massive Attack - Mezzanine This album has been on my 'to buy' list for years, but never quite made it. Got it last week when I saw it for sale for A$15.
Daft Punk - Homework I'm converting all of the good 'burned & illegal' CD's in my collection to 'bought and legal'. This was my latest in that series.
Missy Higgins - The Sound of White Gotta support good Aussie Singer / Songwriters.
-
Symphony X's "Live on the Edge of Forever". Decent prog. Check it out if that's your thing. Great music, shitty singer, but what else can you expect?
-
Rwake - Hell Is A Door To The Sun
-
The Decemberists - Picaresque
Broken Social Scene - You forgot it in people
Yes, I'm late. I have a ton of records to catch up on.
-
Pssh, buying records months/years after they've come out just ensures you don't get caught up in meaningless fads!
-
shitty singer, but what else can you expect?
Dan Swano.
-
I came into my record pusher and since there was a ton of good cds, I just grabbed the first, the best one, this is what I got:
Matt Sweeney & Bonnie 'prince' Billy - Superwolf
yeah I am a poor motherfucker ;)
-
Pssh, buying records months/years after they've come out just ensures you don't get caught up in meaningless fads!
Or you can just save yourself from listening to crap and not buy anything by The Decemberists. I like that idea.
-
Sleater-Kinnney - One Beat, and The Woods
-
Got the new Mindless Self Indulgence when I saw them in concert a few weeks back. I think they're starting to learn how to play their instruments! It's a pretty good album, but short, and I would prefer more studio versions of some AOA songs instead of just Two Hookers.
Also, Gigantic Brain - The Invasion Discography. Just some crazy obscure scifi based grindcore.
-

Hmm, I grew quite fond of the album on the first listen. Some of the songs are a bit corny, but damn they're good!
I sincerely suggest you give them another listen.
-
this morning on my way home from work I bought Heavy Trash, some Bob Dylan, and some Hank Williams.
-
It's been so long since I've bought music I'm going to die from music-buying-starvation or something.
I think the last album I bought was...possible The Shins but it was so long ago I cannot remember!
I need to buy music soon, I think my next album may be another Beulah album.
-
The last three albums I bought were:
Gift by Curve
Plastic Fang by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Wreckage by Overseer
Gift is a good album for fans of post-'95 Curve, and Wreckage is easily the most discombobulated and artistically diverse techno record I've ever heard (but I mean that in a good way). Plastic Fang is interesting...but sort of reperitive as well, hence it was a bit more disappointing than the aforementioned albums.
-
I think my next album may be another Beulah album.
Yeah I need another one of those too. The only one I have is "Yoko" but I've got my eye on "The Coast is Never Clear".
-
Today I picked up The Who Sell Out.
-
Came into some cash, with which I purchased a second hand copy of 'Tyr' by Black Sabbath and 'Tattooed Millionaire' by Bruce Dickinson.
-
Cash is nice. Like that four times a year GST cheque we get here in Canada. Thusly, I purchased the new Haujobb album, Vetical Mixes. It's excellent. Two new songs(Mind Crush & Perpetual Motion), three mixes of tracks from Vertical Theory by Haujobb themselves and eight other mixes of V.T. tracks by This Morn Omina, Seabound, HECQ, Asche, Backlash, Shok, Glis, and Iszoloscope. Insanely good remix album.
-
I went on holiday, which was nice. I checked out the HMV inside the duty-free airport bit, and they were totally selling some CDs for £4.20. That was fucking awesome.
I picked up:
The Roots - Things fall apart (One of the best Hip-Hop albums ever. Fuck the haters.)
Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the 36 Chambers (So, so, so good. A stone cold classic. Some fool lost my copy of it a while back, and I figured I could afford to replace it at £4.20)
Otis Redding - The Definitive Collection
Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um
Kraftwerk - Radio-activity
The woman gave me a funny look when I brought that selection up. Made my goddamn holiday though.
-
Ordered (preordered?) xiu xiu's la foret mmm can't wait
-
A week or so ago I got Iron and Wine's Woman King, and I do realise that it's not that new, but I'm tellin' you anyways.
This is a good thing, for I rarely buy CDs. My family has most everything I listen to already.
-
Damon & Naomi - The Earth Is Blue
-
Pack of LP's from Troubleman Unlimited
Hair Police-Constantly Terrified
White Rock-Tarpit
Dead Machines-Futures 10"
Growing-Dry Drunk on Women 7" re-issue
I like the new hair police quite a bit, the more extended noise style on this one suits them. I've not really formed opinions on the White Rock or Dead Machines yet. The Growing 7" is nice but you can really tell it's their first recording. They try using vocals on the first side even though their music is the sort that should never have them. The second side seems barely there and to be just a few keyboard blips.
-
yesterday, my roommate was getting ready to sell some CDs to CD Warehouse, so I bought a few of them.
Uncle Tupelo anthology
The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads
and last year's Modest Mouse
-
most recently, I aquired Mos Def's Black on Both Sides and Roots Manuva's Awfully Deep. And re-aquired Nora's Dreamers and Deadmen.
-
What kind of a bastard sells "The Name of the Band is Talking Heads"?
-
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Smash Hits
Bob Marley and The Wailers - Exodus
Sigur Rós - ()
Fat Boy Slim - You've Come A Long Way Baby
Tom Waits - Used Songs 1973 - 1980
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Best Of
-
Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um
Good work, son!
-
I recently bought Mr. Bungle's California because I needed it. and it rules. Now I just have to find that damned selftitled and all those silly little bootelg tapes. Except Bowl of Chiley, which I found somewhere. woo!
-
Got the new Mindless Self Indulgence when I saw them in concert a few weeks back. I think they're starting to learn how to play their instruments! It's a pretty good album, but short, and I would prefer more studio versions of some AOA songs instead of just Two Hookers.
I just downloaded this, and yeah, it's pretty freaking sweet. Definately a step up in skill
-
i just got a copy of an unknown Bloc Party album. i'd never heard bloc party before so i don't know which one. i'll have to use the intarweb
-
I got myself three import CDs from NZ, none of which will fit onto my CD rack.
V/A-The Tone of the Universe=The Tone of The Earth 2CD
-Great drone comp with an all star cast commissioned to celebrate the discovery of a distant galaxy resonating a steady B flat drone.
Birchville Cat Motel-Chi Vampires CD
-Brilliant and varied 'too quite for noise but too noisy for ambient' drone soundscapes. The title track is especially good. Piano and ambient sounds transform a drone metal riff so it becomes a journey over the ocean rather than a journey to the abyss.
Neal Campbelle/Cambelle Kneale-Collab
-Doesn't seem as immedietly good as the other two but it has its moments.
-
Olivia Tremor Control - Black Foilage
verrr verrrr goot
-
I bought a bunch all at once
Spoon - gimme fiction
Steve malkmus - face the truth
(wow how ironic is that)
The walkmen - bows and arrows
Clap your hands say yeah - ST
The Wilderness - ST
Supersystem - always never again
-
Crime In Stereo "The Contract" EP
Years From Now demo
-
I think my next album may be another Beulah album.
Yeah I need another one of those too. The only one I have is "Yoko" but I've got my eye on "The Coast is Never Clear".
I have The Coast is Never Clear and it is the SEX! Buy it! You will regret nothing.
-
SECOND'D
My favourite line from that's gotta be "punk rock, was my first, she left me a scar, so I have her still!" Popular Mechanics for Lovers is also a terrific song.
My latest album are:
The Smashing Pumpins - Siamese Dream
Autolux - Future Perfect.
-
Lost Highway soundtrack
N.E.R.D. - In Search Of...
Kelis - Tasty
Broken Social Scene - You Forgot it In People
I hear the latter takes a few listens before it grows on you. Let's hope, because it's doing nothing for me right now. (I bought it purely on Jeff's recommendation in his music column, so there ya go.) The other three are pretty damn good.
-
got the new xiu xiu in the mail finally and like it but dang, not as great as I remember live but then not much is
-
This album has been on my 'to buy' list for years, but never quite made it. Got it last week when I saw it for sale for A$15.
. . .
I'm converting all of the good 'burned & illegal' CD's in my collection to 'bought and legal'. This was my latest in that series.
Ha, both of these quotes sound like me. Although I think my next purchase is going to be McLusky Do Dallas because I'm suddenly obsessed with "Alan Is a Cowboy Killer".
-
mmm, just bought the new Gorillaz - Demon Days cd. played it whilst fooling around with the girl, and promptly left it in her car after i took her home. I also picked up a copy of the Appleseed soundtrack. pretty sweet electronic music i thought.
-
I recently aquired a copy of Refused's The Shape of Punk to Come, something that was way overdue, as well as a Bad Brains compilation.
-
Sufjan Stevens - Illionois
Got it a week or two ago, liking it significantly. I should have bought tickets for the show in September, now they are sold out :(
-
Finally, finally (finally) got Sigur Ros' "()"
Good music to chill to, or fall asleep on a train from Kitchener (whoops)...
Also got Postal Service (Give Up), re-purchased Dropkick Murphys' "Blackout", and Motion City Soundtrack's "Commit This To Memory" (looking forward to seeing them at warped)
-
I was going to buy a Nash the Slash/FM album, but then I remembered that the CD store here doesn't carry him or anything else good.
-
last album i bought, if that doesnt include downloading, then its lost dogs by pearljam.
-
I purchased Autolux's FuturePerfect and like it a little bit more than VNV Nation's FuturePerfect.
-
I have The Coast is Never Clear and it is the SEX! Buy it! You will regret nothing.
Awesome! I'm getting birthday'd on Wednesday and I've dropped hints to several people that it would be REALLY NICE if I had another Beulah album. ;)
Couldn't find Beulah at the local record place, so I bought Nick Drake's Bryter Layter. It's nice too.
-
finally picked up snow patrol's new disc
-
I definitely want that. :-(
-
im gonna have to say its not as brilliant as i expected.... theres only one, maybe two awesome tracks... (those being "run" and possibly "spitting games")
but as always, to each their own
-
Got:
Antonio Jobim - Wave
The Roots - Organix
-
Tom Vek - We Have Sound. Loving it so far.
And my boyfriend copied me Daft Punk - Human After All but i'm not too sure that classes as a purchase.
-
McLusky - McLusky do Dallas and The Difference Between You and Me is I am Not on Fire.
-
Roy Buchanan - Guitars on Fire (The Atlantic Sessions)
I didn't actaully buy this, I dug it out of a large stack of cd's my dad had lying around. It is some kickass guitarage. Plus, he totally does a song about Brer Rabbit.
-
(http://www.hydraheadshop.com/pelican-fire-cd-large.jpg)
-
Sigur Ros- Agaetis Byrjun
-
I just found Mariah Carey - Daydream if that counts, according to Allmusic it's a masterpiece, so I guess it's finders keepers..
-
Spoon - Gimme Fiction
Sufjan Stevens - Greetings from Michigan: The Great Lakes State
Feist - Let It Die
The Decemberists - Castaways & Cutouts
-
I bought Stephen Malkmus's Face the Truth. It's pretty solid. I could almost say it's better than Piglib.
-
I went nuts:
Burmese - Men
Minus the Bear - Highly Refined Pirates
Cave In - Antenna
Explosions in the Sky - The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place
Sigur Ros - ()
Biffy Clyro - Infinity Land
Man. And I knew I've forgotten to order another CD. Or two. Well, next time.
Hmmm... so we have post-rock, ambient, hateful noise that's not really music anymore, emo and post-hardcore. Good mixture there. :p
-
Nevermore - THis Godless Endeavor
and I finally found it!
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine
-
Death From Above 1979 - Listening to it right now! It's the only "hard rock" thing I'm into. But it's so different, like dance rock? Yeah, I feel like dancing to this album :)
The Fiery Furnaces - Havent opened it up yet but I heard Quay Cur before and hopefully the album is as good or even better than that song!
The Album Leaf - Became an all-time favorite in one day! I love listening to it in the morning..*sigh* haha
-
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Miss Machine
Ooh... what do you think of it? As a DEP fan, I was really disappointed in this album but maybe I don't quite understand it.
But it has melody, for Christ's sake. I want DEP to make really pissed off, complex noise, I want the vocalist to scream his lungs out. This doesn't quite fit.
-
No man, it is not dance rock. Last I recall, it's fucking awesome electro-punk with chorus and fuzz. Besides, I don't know if it would be a good idea to mention dancerock around them. *cough james murphy cough*
Oh yes, that thing...
Well, in that case...FUNK & FUZZ!
-
I JUST got Hana by Tak Matsumoto, and it was HELL to find.
-
i was at a gig on monday and i bought:
City On Film - in formal introduction
Owen - i do percieve
city on film is robert nanna from braid and hey mercedes doing a solo kinda thing.
owen is mike kinsella from capn jazz, american football, and joan of arc doing a solo kinda thing.
both are excellent, city on film has totally dominated my computer and cd player this week.
-
bought tom waits-black rider and 3 Eluvium CDs.
-
I just went to some huge book/record/sheet music charity sale thing. Bought Jethro Tull's Aqualung, some live Rush record, and two Allman Brother's records. 6 bucks.
-
I just got "The Green Fields of Foreverland" by The Gentle Waves.
It is lovely and dreamy, but cannot compare to Belle and Sebastian in terms of anything really.
-
Four Tet - Rounds.
-
1. Snow Patrol - When it's all over we still have to clear up
2. The Dandy Warhols - 13 Tales of Urban Bohemia
3. Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights
4. Postal Service - Give Up
They are interesting
-
Hot Hot Heat - Make up the breakdown
I also ordered another from a different band, but I'll be damned if I can remember who.
-
Finally picked up Give Up by The Postal Service, plus the Such Great Heights single for the covers.
Also, pre-ordered the new Facing New York s/t album. It's not really out until August 30th, but whatever. :)
-
Nice.
Party Monster Soundtrack, it's pretty grand.
-
Picked up Bedouin Soundclash's root fire for ten bucks at warped tour, and The Smashing Pumpkins' Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness in triple vinyl form... cause I <3 records.
-
Dredg - Catch Without Arms: Not Dredg's best album. Some songs kind of irk me, the lyrics are astonishing lame in parts (Not That Simple is just... ugh), and it just seems a little more uninspired overall. It's hard to live up to El Cielo, but this is almost sell-out territory. That being said, I still like the album, and hopefully, because of it's more mainstream feel, it will get them some more fans.
The Mars Volta - De-loused in the Comatorium: I had the MP3s of this album, but felt the need to actually own it. Awesome album. I can't really describe it, but your probably all familiar with it, whether you like it or not.
Ratatat - Ratatat: Sort of techno-guitar music. It sounds like Mega Man. It majorly rocks out though, video game music for my life. Rocking stuff.
Sonic Youth - Sonic Nurse: The first time I took a listen to Sonic Youth (yeah, I'm not really into the indie scene all that much). It's a good album, though not really my thing. Pretty solid stuff, and I have a friend that I know will like it.
-
Ashtray Navigations-You Cannot Tell Cigars By The Picture On The Box
Seht-Application Antartica Download Form
Lo-fi guitar murk from the UK and analogue ambient drone goodness from new Zealand. Niiice.
-
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois.
Also obtained a (free) advanced copy of the New Pornagrapher's "Twin Cinema."
-
Recent purchases:
Skid Row GHC-(Greatist hits compalation)
Lynyrd Skynard GHC
Styx GHC
KANSAS GHC
-
Ack. The Allman Brothers are umpteen times better Southern Rock than Skynard.
-
Flogging Molly - Swagger
cause sometimes, you need some music that kinna sounds like pirates
-
Man, I've been meaning to get some of their stuff. What's a good album to start off with?
Drunken Lullabies is my fave of theirs.
-
i'd say go with swagger. it was my first... and is still stuck in my car cd player that someone tried to rip out of my car last summer.
-
Sleater-Kinney - The Woods. I was surprised by how loud this album was- I really like it!
-
Never underestimate riot grrls, my friend!

Anyways, myself just purchased:

No, what's embarassing is what you bought.
-
I recently picked up some more CDs...
The Doors - The Doors
Dream Theater - Awake (still haven't listened to it and have no idea what they're like)
Nirvana - An Introduction To (Best Of)
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
Radiohead - OK Computer
-
The Doors' self titled is better than everything else they recorded combined.
-
The most recent cd purchases were:
My Chemical Romance - I Broght You My Bullets...
A Perfect Circle - The Thirteenth Step
System of a Down - Steal This Album!
Before that, all my CD purchases were Marilyn Manson. I now posses all of them save Holy Wood...*goes crazy trying to find and buy it*
-
No, what's embarassing is what you bought.
I realize it's jest; however, if you disagree with anything besides Coheed and Jack Johnson then there are no words for you.
-
Foo Fighter-in Your Honor
Which won't play in my friend's car CD player, but I had no problem making MP3s of all the tracks
Pulp-We Love Life
Because I've meant to buy it for three years
Son, Ambulance-Key
Because it was $6. I actually like it more than I expected.

Bloc Party is decent but soulless. They're good enough to listen to and not break a friend's CD, but not good enough to justify spending money on.
Weezer is...well...to each his own, I guess.
Same with Postal Service. They're not shit, but they're not worth the money.
And Smile was a pretty low-quality album, if I remember correctly (given, I haven't listened to it in ages).
-
I love Weezer.
-
I generally dislike Weezer, but I think it's hard to deny that Pinkerton is a damn good album.
It's got "El Scorcho" for fuck's sake!
-
I just don't think that any Weezer album is worth spending money on. I own Pinkerton myself, and occasionally listen to it, even, but it's a burned copy.
-
Pit er pat-3D message
-
Nevermore - Dead Heart In A Dead World
An opus of metal
Lamb Of God - New American Gospel
Awesome
Reflux - The Illusion Of Democracy
Their Guitarist is better than you
GWAR - War Party
It's friggin GWAR!
-
WAR PARTY
COME JOIN THE WAR PARTY
-
At the Drive-In - This Station Is Non-Operational
It's stupid. I don't need it, I've got every single song on this album. I own all albums I can purchase. But being a dumb fanboy, I bought it. Even the special edition with the DVD, which suchs because it only contans an electronic press kit and three videos.
Now, excuse me while I buy the Fearless release of Relationship Of Command, it has one song I don't have on CD yet. And yes, I already own the European Grand Royal release of this album.
-
Say Hi To Your Mom - But She Beat My Highscore
Awesome song, awesome band.
-
The Arcade Fire - Funeral
The Fiery Furnaces - EP
I can't stop listening to Funeral, and the Fiery Furnaces album was only 8 dollars new!
-
Technically it's an EP, not an album. A 40-minute EP.
-
Eels - Blinking Lights and Other Revelations
It's about time I got me some Eels, and what better way than to buy a double cd with them..
-
Finally picked up The Woods today. If music albums could reproduce, I would give birth to this album's child.
-
bought tom waits-night rider and 3 Eluvium CDs.
If by that you mean Tom Waits' "The Black Rider", then you just purchased a little chunk of genius my man/woman/other.
Yeah hell, said the name to myself wrong a while after I first ordered it and then looked back much later to realize I was mixed up but I thought it was named that so long in my head that I keep going back to it. I am still waiting for it in the mail actually. *curses postal service*
-
i just recently got massive attack - mezzanine, dj shadow - the private press, and explosions in the sky - the earth is not a cold dead place
-
Eels - Blinking Lights and Other Revelations
It's about time I got me some Eels, and what better way than to buy a double cd with them..
Damn good Cd(s).
Just got a copy of Pavement's "Crooked Rain Crooked Rain" off my hombretta. Great stuff. I'm happy with my decisionn to start listening to them.
-
The Cure - Faith
and a Bella Lea EP, singer's the sister of the dude who sang in Engine Down (Apparently Denali is connected to them someways, but I don't know)
They are good live, but the EP is kind of bland.
-
I recently purchased 'Everything Is' by Nine Black Alps which was surprisingly awesome, well, not awesome, but going into high-8/10.
-
Eels - Blinking Lights and Other Revelations
It's about time I got me some Eels, and what better way than to buy a double cd with them..
Damn good Cd(s).
Just got a copy of Pavement's "Crooked Rain Crooked Rain" off my hombretta. Great stuff. I'm happy with my decisionn to start listening to them.

My dad is a wang about getting into new musics. I think he starts listening to about 1 new band every two years. But he does listen to some damn good stuff.
My madre on the other hand getes into stuff really easily. She even bought the tickets to the last Eels show we went to. And it was a killer show too.

I finally broke down and bought American Idiot yesterday, even though radio has completely ruined about half the songs on it for me. I have to be in the right mood for it, but "Holiday" is really catchy.
Also picked up Janet Jackson's janet and Love and Rockets' self-titled.
-
I have just returned from a quest during which I bought Louis XIV's 'The Best Little Secrets Are Kept', given it the first listen and it is pretty damn cool.

Brideshead - In and Out Love
California Snow Story - One Good Summer

I personally don't like Bloc Party. But, that's just me and J Jaques. :P
-
I dislike Bloc Party as well. I find them dull.
-
Robert Johnson - The Complete Recordings
ive had a chance to listen to the first disc. sadly, the recording quality is not very good, although that should be expected considering this stuff was recorded in 1936/37.

I've been wanting to find more Murder City Devils, as well as Death Wish Kids. I have MCD's Thelma EP, but I'm having trouble finding anything by Death Wish Kids anywhere 'cept for Smartpunk, and I just can't bring myself to buy CDs off a website unless I have to.

i generally only order used cd's from amazon. i consider anything over about 10 dollars for a cd excessive. i was going to include a recomended murder city cd here, but they are all good so it doesnt matter which you get.

I've heard good things about that one. I'm still looking for dubnobasswithmyheadman.
Bought two used LPs today, The Best of Blondie and Fleetwood Mac's Rumours (whose sleeve is so yellow I think it's actually from 1977).
-
Interpol - Antics
I'm also ordering Shout Out Louds - Howl Howl Gaff Gaff

I love shout out louds album. I saw them play not long ago. There good.
I saw their music video for The Comeback on Threadless.com and their other music video Very Loud and I really liked their sound.
I'm not sure what genre (obviously rock, but which subdivision, I do not know) they belong to, but I like them very much.
-
Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind
And
Reflux - The Illusion Of Democracy
It kicks your ass.
-
the gossip - that's not what i heard
built to spill - perfect from now on

Absolutelty INSANE... this is now on my top 20 list
-
Pretty Ricky - Bluestars
Snow Patrol - Final Straw
-
Greatful Dead - Workingman's Dead (the only Dead I can really stand, but it's damn good)
Check out "Blues For Allah". I only like about half the Dead I hear, but this entire album stuck with me as soon as I heard it. Brilliant stuff.
jimi hendrix - blues
Tom Waits - Alice + Mule Variations
Fruit Bats - Spelled In Bones
NICE TO ALL! Super nice to Jimi Blues. It has the greatest solos of his on it, I swear. Especially "Hear My Train Comin' (electric)"
This should be arriving any day now:
(http://www.recordresearch.com/Album_Photos/images/Corea_Chick.jpg)
Alice in Wonderland concept album FTW! Especially with 5-minute bass solos!
-
I was in Newberry Comics yesterday and I spotted a best of Ramones album (30 songs!) for ten bucks. It was bought before it knew how awesome it was.

I have that! It rocks my socks hardcore.
-
the latest album I have purchsed was Gorillaz - Demon Days. I got it at HMV and picked up a brand new pair of Koss ultra bass headphones.
-
Major Stars-IV LP
Shreddin. Indie band does heavy psych-rock complete with long guitar solos and pull it off beautifully with a loud factor of 10 and a wank factor of 0.
X-Under The Big Black Sun LP
Whenever I listen to an X LP I always feel like listening to it twice in a row. First for the hard drivin music and then for the insightful humorous lyrics. This one has no trouble delivering amply.
-
last month:
Belle & Sebastian - Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant
Stars - Set Yourself on Fire (only just came out in the UK, with a really weird new cover)
British Sea Power - Open Season
Low - Great Destroyer
Nine Black Alps - Everything Is
Magnetic Fields - i
probably going to pick up the Chad VanGaalen album Infiniheart this week and maybe the new DCFC.
-
I just got
Apples in Stereo - The Discovery of a World Inside the Moone
-
Epoxies - Stop The Future
Awesome album.
Anyways, I got "End Hits" and "Steady Diet of Nothing" by Fugazi last week. End Hits has some absolutely killer songs as well as a few that are kinda...uhhhhh. Steady Diet is pretty cool, not much else to say about that one.
Oh, an J Church's "Society is a Carnivorous Flower" arrived in the mail three days ago- I owned a couple 7"s but not a full length, and the speed of the music on this one was surprising. The title track is a 14-minute fast-and-catchy-as-hell punk song.
-
Death Cab For Cutie - Plans
Jawbox - My Scrapbook of Fatal Accidents
Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea (finally)
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
-
Prince- Sign of the Times
Overall, this one is pretty good. Not his best (Purple Rain, 1999, and Diamonds and Pearls) but still good. My main beef is the mix on the 1st disc. It seems a bit muffled and restrained. The 2nd disc is Beatlesesque in perfection though.
-
Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots, because my sister's copy went missing so I had to get my own.
The New Pornographers - Twin Cinema
-
I love that flaming lips album.
It's Hard To Find A Friend- Pedro The Lion
-
Tomahawk - Tomahawk
Fantomas - Fantomas
Yes, I´m a Mike Patton fanboy.
-
Another for Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots!
£6.99 in HMV. Rock.
-
Highlander, your purchases were the right ones. Awesome.
-
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
I know I was late buying it, but even so I spent my train fare on it and ended up stuck in Chesterfield a long time before randomly turning up on someones doorstep asking for a lift to Sheffield. Fortunately that someone has a mother who feeds me well :D
-
Martha Wainwright - S/T debut
The Shins - Oh, Inverted World
Two for 25, I got me a good deal :)

3 cheers for avant-garde!

That's one damn fine haul. :P
-
The Mountain Goats - Sweden
I couldn't find this in any store I've been to for the past 6 months or so, so I ordered it from Amazon (along with the Flaming Lips' Fearless Freaks DVD). Rare but amazing.
-
I liked Alfaro Vive, Carajo! so I decided to get this.
Do you have an original copy of Alfaro Vive, Carajo? If so: Where did you get it?
-
Yah, but at least you still have good music taste :)
The statement reflects upon your own positive tastes, madam!
-
The Meat Puppets - Too High To Die
The Dead Kennedys - Frankenchrist
The Mothers of Invention - Absolutely Free.
The Meat Puppets is good, but Dead Kennedys and THe Mothers totally trump their asses.
-
Since my flatmates ordered at Amazon anyway, I saved the shipping and finally got:
Tenacious D - Tenacious D
-
Iron & Wine - Woman King EP
-
Jawbox - For Your Own Special Sweetheart
It has been out of print for like 10 years now and I managed to get a copy. But I have to import it from the USA, so it will take a while.
Also, not a CD, but I'm still damn happy about it: The Complete Calvin & Hobbes Collection. YES!
-
Finally got my Shout Out Louds - Howl Howl Gaff Gaff CD.
My sister also lent me Snow Patrol - Final Straw
-

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.
-
Stan Getz Quartet - In Paris
One down, eighty to go.
-
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
sooouuulpooower ;)
-
The Notwist's "Neon Golden."
-
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
-
Old stuff I've had on my computer for a while, but I bought The Cure's "The Top" and "Seventeen Seconds"
-
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.
-
Thanks for the recomendation. I will look into it :)
-
Wish and Wild Mood Swings by The Cure also!
On sale, so I had to pick em up. :)
-
Three Rush albums (Self Titled, Fly By Night, and Caress of Steel) for three bucks on vinyl.
-
The kinks-Village Green Preservation Society (Reprise)
Elliot Smith-Figure 8
-Either/Or
filling in some holes
-
Fuckin' Village Green Preservation Society is choice.
-
More Elliot Smith...XO and self titled
also, CocoRosie-Noah's Ark
-
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.
-
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?
-
The Flatliners - Destroy to Create
Planet Smashers - Unstoppable; Mighty
goddamn, Ska is Dead tour... way to make me spend all my money
-
Dredg - Catch Without Arms
Melt Banana - MxBx 1998: 13,000 Miles At Light Velocity
Blood Brothers - Burn, Piano Island, Burn
Aw man, the Blood Brothers album is just awesome. And Melt Banana are disturbing, but cool.
-
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?
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.
-
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.

Comeback Kid - Turn it Around
Comeback Kid - Wake the Dead
Funeral Diner - The Underdark
The Number Twelve Looks Like You - Nuclear. Sad. Nuclear.
Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson - Unnoticeable in a tiny town, invisible in the city.
All records are awesome. <3
-
Steve Vai's anthology collection.
-
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?
-
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.
-
a few ep's, one by okkervil river and two by vitalic.

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.
-

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.
-
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.
-
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
:)
-
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.
-
Sigur Rós - Takk..

1 - A.C. Newman - The Slow Wonder (LP)

-
More Elliot Smith...XO and self titled
also, CocoRosie-Noah's Ark
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)
-
Sufjan Stevens - A Sun Came!
Horowitz plays Rachmaninov and Liszt
-
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.
-
got four CD's last month, that's my most recent purchases:
Modest Mouse: The Moon and Antarctica
Built To Spill: Keep it like a Secret
The Decemberists: Picaresque

Gladiator - OST
KMFDM - Hau Ruck

-
at concerts this weekend, i bought 2 wolf parade ep's and the full length, and the newest AIH. hooray to supporting artists after having stolen from them for months.

-
Tom Waits - Alice
-
Calexico/Iron + Wine - In the Reins
The Shins - Oh, Inverted World
Sigur Ros - Takk
-
What do you think of the Calexico/Iron + Wine album? I'm thinking of picking it up next time I've got money.
-
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.
-
My birthday was September 24th so:
Clap Your Hands Say yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin
Kings Of Convenience - Riot On An Empty Street
Belle and Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress
Beck - Odelay
The Strokes- Is This It
The Verve - Urban Hymns
-
ani difranco - out of range
i'll never find anything bad to say about ani. this one's not my favorite, but there's always something to love about each album.
belle and sebastian - i'm a cuckoo
you can't really go wrong with these people. they're just enjoyable.
bright eyes - every day and every night
at this point, i'm just building a collection. it's a good listen, but not something i'd keep on constant rotation.
-
I picked the Pink Mountaintops and Blood Meridian's album while at the Black Mountain show. The guy from Ladyhawk who was doing the merch didn't know the Canadian prices of everything and wanted to give me both CDs for $20.
I felt guilty and told him that they usually sell for $15 at shows.
-
I got the Offspring Greatest Hits album about a month ago, and bought Lifehouse's self-titled second album last night. If you liked No Name Face, then this is worth getting.
-
More *ahem* "purchases"....yeah...they're totally purchased...
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Bear vs. Shark - Terrorhawk
Coco Rosie - Noah's Ark
Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene
-
(http://todaslasnovedades.net/documentos/2005/abril/img/articulos/discos/Patton-Executioners.jpg)
Just now. I am very excited by this.
-
Björk - Medúlla and Vespertine
At The Drive-In - Relationship of Command
Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism
the last one is good but Gibbard does nothing for me lyrically and vocally.
-
I haven't actually purchased any music in a while, but I work for a website as a music critic, so the latest CD I received was Takk by Sigur Ros.
When it's bad, like the crazy little horn waltz about 20 minutes in, it's really bad. But when it's good...it's literally the most beautiful music i've ever heard.
-
jawbreaker - etc.
i had my doubts about the band in general, but they're totally getting more of my money.
rainer maria - long knives drawn
love it, no questions asked.
-
PICTURE OF AWESOME ALBUM
Just now. I am very excited by this.
Lucky bastard; I can't get ahold of really anything Patton does but Bungle or Faith No More (Which I'm pretty much just "meh" to).
-
Roky Erickson - I Have Always Been Here Before
-
When it's bad, like the crazy little horn waltz about 20 minutes in, it's really bad.
Aww, I love that song. :(
-
Lucky bastard; I can't get ahold of really anything Patton does but Bungle or Faith No More (Which I'm pretty much just "meh" to).
www.Amazon.com
They are pretty much great. Amazon I mean, I haven't gotten the CD yet...
-
When it's bad, like the crazy little horn waltz about 20 minutes in, it's really bad.
I thought that fitted really well.
-
Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left
-
Preordered:
Boards of Canada - The Campfire Headphase
Animal Collective - Feels
Broken Social Scene - s/t
Gravenhurst - Fires in Distant Buildings
..apparently amazon estimates that it'll ship at the end of the month. grr to one shipment orders considering the bss one is almost out darnit! at least I have heard it already ;D
Also ordered last night since insound was doing some question/25% off deal:
Iron and Wine / Calexico - In The Reins
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm Remixed
Calla - Collisions
American Analog Set - Set Free
---
Last album I actually have already gotten:
Sigur Rós - Takk.. (the special edition one; it seems a bit of a rip-off considering I thought it'd have more art... it's still a lovely little hardback book nonetheless)
-
The last CD purchases I remember making:
Metric - Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?
Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News
Sparta - Porcelain
Metric wasn't as good as I thought it would be but still good.
Modest Mouse was good.
Sparta kind of suck and I'm not sure why I chose them.
Still, they were all worth the 3 for $30 deal in the end. YAY!
-
The Wallflowers: Rebel, Sweetheart
-
Sparta kind of suck and I'm not sure why I chose them.
Because Wiretap Scars showed promise after the ATDI and you're slightly in denial of how disapointing everything off of Porcelain is.
At least that's how I feel about it.
-
I actually haven't heard anything on Wiretap Scars.. or anything by Sparta up until the purchase. I really love ATDI though, and if living in North America has taught me anything it's that only suckers do not tackle every stupid deal they see, which in this case was the 3-for-30 deal. And nobody wants to look like a chump who clearly cannot understand the true meaning of value!
So I just grabbed Sparta in the hopes that maybe I would like them too.
BUT HOW WRONG I WAS
-
Wiretap Scars is still mildly disapointing, but a few great songs like "Sans Cosm" that have just undeniable hooks make it worth it.
-
no new music, but...
Ayreon - The Human Equation
Tiamat - Wildhoney/Gaia
Enslaved - Isa
Autechre - Anvil Vapre
-
WOO! AYREON!
I bought Fugazi's 13 songs because I am really late with everything.
-
my g/f bought me 'Iron and Wine / Calexico - In The Reins'. It arrived yesterday. She got lots of kisses.

Totally weak compared to their earlier work, but still pretty awesome.

The Fall-This Nation's Saving Grace CD
Gotta be in my top ten all time favourites - probably one of the most accessible Fall albums - I could listen to LA on it all day long!
Most recent revelation for me: My Computer - No CV
It's a real mash of electronica, guitars and epic mood swings.
The Londonist carries a pretty upbeat review - and a link to one of the highlights of the album: http://www.londonist.com/archives/2005/07/monday_music_re_15.php
-
I got a promo copy of No CV because I am a BADASS. It's pretty good, but not amazing.
On the topic of amazing, I bought the new 65daysofstatic album on Wednesday. Goddamn is it good. Epic, baby.
-
Mr. Bungle - Disco Volante
I stood with MC5 - Kick Out the Jams, (Smog) - Supper, Portishead - Portishead, Mercury Rev - Deserter's Songs and Joni Mitchell - Blue.
But I couldn't afford them all and then I saw Mr. Bungle on the shelf and thought "Fuck it, I am gonna buy a slice of madness!"
And then I had to put them all back in their place ;)
-
Bought all of these at a Wolf Eyes show.
Prurient-The Black Vase CD
LHD-Curtains CD
Luasa Raelon-Consumed within the years of lead CD
Devilock-These Graves CD
My stereo is gonna hate me.
-
Sleater-Kinney : the woods
-
Oh damn I regret buying Disco Volante now, I need something with more lyrics. Meh. I should have bought Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister.
I am always like this, I buy a cd and then I spend maybe a week regretting it. Hopefully it will solve itself, namely that I get some money for more cds at a time. Revolutionary concept.
-
Bob Dylan- Blood on the Tracks
The Clash- London Calling

Gastr Del Sol - Camoufleur

Although California is better.

It is my new Sunday Night ritual. Every few Sunday nights, I listen to it straight through at midnight in the dark. It is fantastic. So goddam fantastic.
The warning should include something about causing the listener to TRIP FUCKING BALLS.
-
Not strictly purchased, but my birthday was on Tuesday, and my presents just arrived from Amazon.
Rush - 2112
Rush - Moving Pictures
Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien
Joe Satriani - Crystal Planet
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (the only Waters-written album I didn't own)

Pretty awesome haul, if I do say so myself. And it's only from my parents.
-
I don't normally buy more than two albums a week, but I kinda went a little crazy last weekend, and I seriously could not regret it any less. Kansas makes me want to actually learn to play an instrument...
Kansas-Best of Kansas
Dream Theatre-Images and Words
Dream Theatre-Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
Neko Case-Blacklisted
Mogwai-Come On, Die Young
-
New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies
[/i]
-
Tumbleweed Connection by Elton John
-
Snowblood - 'Being And Becoming'
They've got much better at the quiet parts since 'The Human Tragedy', but the heavy bits still crush. Ah, sweet brutality. Just goes to show that Glasgow can still churn out great records when it feels like it.
-
A. Missing Chromosome - The Mars Volta
-
last week:
the herd -- the sun never sets
autechre and hafler trio - Æo³ & ³Hæ
the autechre/hafler trio one has beautiful packaging.
-
A. Missing Chromosome - The Mars Volta
BOOGA!
-
Manu Chao - Clandestino
Elliott Smith - s/t
My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
Adrian Belew - Side One
Deerhoof - The Runners Four (I actually bought this one the day it came out so it's been a bit. The lady at the record store thought it was funny because I walked right to the new releases, picked it up, and came to the cash register. heh)
-
Wilco - A Ghost Is Born (Special Edition)
Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home
Foo Fighters - The Colour And The Shape
Roger Waters - Radio K.A.O.S.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl
-
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (the only Waters-written album I didn't own)
Prepare to be stunned, that's the best record they ever made.
-
I haven't bought an album for aages. Cursed limited cash. There are some rather nice little gems in my local HMV (indie record stores? ahaha) though, such as Burzum - Draugen, Ministry - Rantology, Orange Goblin - The Big Black and a few unplugged gaps in my My Dying Bride and Darkthrone compilations (Peaceville, how I love thee), so I may just kick through there some time. Either that or there's a few CD's I've been thinking of buying online. Might snap up some of the World Serpent records clearance stock.
-
Tsjuder - Kill for Satan
Xasthur - Telepathic with the Deceased
Falconer - Grime Vs. Grandeur
some Leviathan album I can't remember.
-
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (the only Waters-written album I didn't own)
Prepare to be stunned, that's the best record they ever made.
I've heard it before, I just never actually owned a copy until now.
I would say it's difficult to single out a 'best' Pink Floyd album. Dark Side, The Wall, Animals, Wish You Were Here, and even Meddle and Piper at the Gates of Dawn all have their merits.
But I have to admit I cannot stand Saucerful of Secrets.
-
What about Ummagumma?
-
I have to say that I have never heard Ummagumma. I'm not quite a Floyd completist (yet, at least).
But generally, I have difficulties declaring live albums a band's best effort.
-
I bought the album to the support at a Fightstar gig called MC Lars. His EP was called the Laptop EP. Has a song in it that some of you might have heard called Signing Emo.
I did an interview with him for my radio show after the gig as well. Cool guy.
-
Kings of Convenience - Riot on an Empty Street
The Cure - The Head on the Door
and Silver Mt. Zion etc. - Horses in the Sky on vinyl.
-
Ben Harper - Fight For Your Mind (woo-hoo! $10 impulse buy!);
Roy Eldridge & Dizzy Gillespie: Complete Trumpet Kings Battle.
-
and Silver Mt. Zion etc. - Horses in the Sky on vinyl.
I found out last (last last last? I go a lot...) time I was down at my local record store that they have every single Godspeed You! Black Emperor AND A Silver Mt. Zion album on vinyl. How fucking awesome? Seriously, how fucking awesome? They also apparently have a large Mike Patton cd collection I did not previously know about and the person working there and me had a pretty great conversation about Patton and how I kind of really need a copy of Mit Gas, like, RIGHT NOW.
Purchases:
For brother on vinyl: "Classic Yes", Elton John's "Honky Chateau", and some Jethro Tull compilation.
For self: The Bad Plus - "Suspicious Activity", Yngwie Malmsteen - "Concerto Suite"
-
Belle and Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress.
I couldn't listen to it all the way through the first time round. Too. Fucking. Happy.
It begs you to try and sing along, and giggles at you for not being able to sing that high.
-
I found out last (last last last? I go a lot...) time I was down at my local record store that they have every single Godspeed You! Black Emperor AND A Silver Mt. Zion album on vinyl.
Where do you live? Because I want to be your best friend.
and kill you in a peculiarly baroque manner to abscond with said records

Joy Division - Substance (finally)
Dinosaur JR - You're living all over me
Sonic Youth - Sister
Jesus & Mary Chain - psychocandy

Pearl Jam - Live on two legs
John Popper - Zygote
McCay's rocks!
-
Modeselektor - Hello Mom!
New Pornographers - Twin Cinema
MF Doom - Live From Planet X
Comets on Fire - Blue Cathedral
Modeselektor is gaining fast on Sufjan's 'Illinois' for my favourite of the year, it's just a shame about all the radio skits.
-
Ayla - Nirwana
...I'm going through a trance phase. Too much Stepmania I think.
-
Joy Division - Substance (finally)
Substance has nothing from Closer on it. If you don't have Closer already, buy that next.
I've heard it before, I just never actually owned a copy until now.

But I have to admit I cannot stand Saucerful of Secrets.
All the albums have their merits, even More has The Nile Song - except for Ummagumma, which is utterly dire.
However, I still maintain that WYWH is their finest work. DSOTM was blatant commercialism - that doesn't mean it's bad, in fact it's excellent - but On The Run is pointless. Ditto Pigs On The Wing for Animals - while the two songs are vital to the concept, if you're just listening to music they're kinda a wasted three minutes. The Wall is absolutely an acquired taste and has its shakier moments - Vera, anyone? Meddle is mostly good, but uh...Seamus?
As for Piper - Syd was a legend, but his album wasn't brilliant.
-
Actually, it wasn't Vera that bothered me as much as Don't Leave Me Now. I absolutely loathe that song.

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.
-
[Farnsworth]Great news, everybody![/Farnsworth]
The Turn It Up store in Keene did not flood when the endtimes were upon us a few weeks ago. I have thusly liberated them of their copies of
Talking Heads, Speaking In Tongues; Combatwoundedveteran, I Know a Girl Who Develops Crime Scene Photos; Broken Social Scene, You Forgot It In People on LP, as well as CDs by Tristan Da Cunha, Remember Shakti, New Wet Kojak, Sponge, and Madeleine Ferguson.
-
Got me a copy of Both Sides of the Brain by Del tha Funkee Homosapien. Before my life expires, fulfill my desires.
-
An Electric Trace by Sylvie. If you live in Canada then you should probably own this album.
-
Fear Factory - Transgression
Wasn't expecting too much from this album but it surprised me and i think it's better than their last 2 albums. Also it comes with a dvd which has the making of and also the album on the dvd. Very cool.
Killswitch Engage - The End Of Heartache
A fantastic third album. I wasn't too much of a fan of their earlier work but this album I have really enjoyed. Why can't more bands be this good?
-
Demonoid - Riders of the Apocalypse
Fun.
-
Valrus, your avatar is hypnotic.
-
Broken Social Scene - Self Titled ["Windsurfing Nation"]
Now I want to get "You Forgot it in People"
-
Oh man are you in for a surprise.
-
Joy Division - Substance (finally)
Substance has nothing from Closer on it. If you don't have Closer already, buy that next.
I have closer and unknown pleasures already, but thanks for the advise anyway
-
Sigur Rós - Takk...
-
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!
-
Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans
Lightning Bolt - Wonderful Rainbow
The Make Believe - Shock of Being
Mogwai - Young Team
-
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.
-
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.
-
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)

Clearly this is the year of finding kick ass lost recordings (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000AV2GCE/ref=br_m_nr_2/102-5291743-0064150?v=glance&s=music&n=34)

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

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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-

The New Pornographers- Twin Cinema

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.
-
Atari Teenage Riot -- Redefine The Enemy!
b-sides and remixes and live stuff and such. awesome.
-
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!

In the past 2 months I've bought:
Broken Social Scene (the latest)
Foo Fighters - In Your Honor
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.
-
Pink Floyd - The Wall

Boston - (Self Titled)
Xiu Xiu - La Forêt
Planet Samshers - Mighty
Bombs Over Providence - Shake Your Body Politic
D.O.A. - Something Better Change
I'll be the first to admit it's a weird mix...
-
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)
-
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>
-
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
Tangerine Dream - Kyoto

The New Pornographers-Twin Cinema
My Morning Jacket-Z
Woo.
-
Sigur Ros- Takk
Fishbone- Chim-Chim's Badass Revenge
-
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.
-
yey for VU + Nico. Even better than White Light/White heat
-
I like White Light/White Heat for its own merits though. The last song is killer.
-
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
-
Shiny Shiny... Shiny Boots of Leather...
Anyways. I just bought The Freewheelin' Bob Dyla, because Bob Dylan is ace.
-
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.
-
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!
-
jazz impressions of japan~the dave brubeck quartet
For 50 cents? Fucking SCORE!
Next get Time Out.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I just got The New Pornographers' Twin Cinema and I think it's hell-of-awesome. It rocks my face off.
That is all.
-
Tim Finn - Before & After
Awesome. Though I personally enjoyed the stuff he did with Split Enz better, that was a very good album.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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

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
-
The Long Winters: When I Pretend to Fall
Yes! "Cinnamon" is probably one of my all-time favorite songs.
-
Oh, No! Oh, My! from The Jolly Rogers (http://thejollyrogers.org) 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.
-
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.

I don't know about their entire album, but I decided to hate Fall Out Boy after they butchered that Gorilla Biscuits song. Nobody Fucks with my Gorilla Biscuits, dammit.
Well, that and their song Sugar something or other just bugs the hell out of me.

You have no idea how much I hate that song. Not to mention that Fall Out Boy has been around for years, but as soon as they get ONE MTV hit suddenly everyone is the biggest Fall Out Boy fan ever. It makes me sick.
-
I just got Sleater-Kinney's 'The Woods' and Liz Phair's 'Exile in Guyville'.
W00t girly rock!
-
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.
Haha. One reason why I don't listen to the radio anymore.
I'm not even a fan of them, it was recommended to me and I got it for free. So I figured, what the hell. It's not great, I'll definitely say that. But it's better than the other CDs I got. blech.

I too assumed that they popped out of nowhere, but I tned to assume that with alot of MTV bands, seeing as many of those bands DO just come from nowhere. In some cases, the bands are so hideously awful (Hawthorne Heights, for one) that I actually pray to God/Allah/Buddha/Flying Spaghetti Monster that they were created by the companies.
-
Misery is a Butterfly, Fingers Crossed and So Tonight That I Might See.
I did not have any of these albums in mind, but the shop did not have any of those in stock.
-
King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man
-

If you're going to make a blanket statement about Fall Out Boy and MTV you might want to mention that they were a "You Hear It First" band and as a result a bunch of people got into their previous album. Especially since it sounds like your judgment has nothing to do with the music and everything to do with the fans.
Anyway, just ordered:
Elliot Smith Either/Or
David Bowie Hunky Dory
Various Artists American Primitive, Vol. 1: Raw Pre-War Gospel (1926-36)

Finally! My copy of 'Broken Social Scene' arrived! Now to order... something else...

You should totally go out and buy stuff by Richard Hell.
-
King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man
I do believe you mean "In the Court of the Crimson King". good album.
Yeah, durr. I was listening to that song while I was typing this, and I think I might have thought I was posting in the What You're Listening To thread. I'm not a big fan of that song, to be honest, but I really liked Epitaph and the title track.

Mogwai - The Government Commissions
Howard Hello - Don't Drink His Blood

The Stevens albums are to give him and his record label some "thank-you" money for the bootlegs I already have, and i'm really digging the Beatles covers. As for the Franz Ferdinand... i'm staring at the package thinking "why?"

I bought Reise, Reise by Rammstein.... German Metal <3... Mein Teil SICK song but so good
-
No, it's not! Stop liking this shitty band! They have no talent, their lyrics blow and their stage antics are beyond sad! They have no right to exist!
And as for "Mein Teil": Yup, very provocative and sick song alright. Works like this: Take a "shocking" topic, write shitty quasi-main-stream song about it with fitting lyrics and make damn sure the lyrics don't cross the line so the video of the song still gets airplay on MTV. Fuck that.
Seriously, Rammstein, I've got a suggestion for you: Do you want to go on a "Reise"? How about one straight into retirement, you dumb fucks?
-
I've recently bought two albums by Jack Johnson. On And On and In Between Dreams.
I had never heard of him before untill I heard the album playing in the store and asked about it. Very much impressed.
-
Jack Johnson for the win. Banana Pancakes is an awesome song. And my latest album would be Converge - Petitioning the Empty Sky. Great album.
-
No, it's not! Stop liking this shitty band! They have no talent, their lyrics blow and their stage antics are beyond sad! They have no right to exist?
My, your criticisms almost sound like you think they're a serious band. Shut up. They're fun, they have a theatrical stage-show second only to Alice Cooper, and industrial rock never required talent anyway. I say this only as, frankly, I probably loathe every band that means something to you, and could answer every post you make in such a fashion. You dislike Rammstein because you don't get their appeal, that's fine. Now go back to your shitty mathcore.
As for Reise, Reise, I thought it was a bit of a let-down after Mutter. I wanted more Laibach-esque keyboard atmospherics, dammit.
-
I know damn well that this band is a joke but for some strange reason, 99% of the people who listen to it will jump your throat the second you say that, claiming that they're serious musicians with shocking lyrics that have something to say and some really hard music or whatever.
I dislike Rammstein for a couple of reasons. First of all, they get hyped for lyrics that are in essence utter crap. Second of all, the prove my theory that every German band since Can and Kraftwerk that managed to become popular abroad actually sucks. Then, their music adds nothing whatsoever, it's not complicated ot challenging in any way. Substituting a lack of musicial substance with third reich references does not work. And finally, most of their fans are stupid kids who claim to be all hardcore, destroy every pit because they have no idea about the mechanics of a good pit but will be the first ones to call security because you broke their nose by kicking them in the face.
What further fuels my hatred for this band is the fact that the only video they over produced that deserved to be called shocking in a way was the one for Stripped and most Rammstein fans I've talked to don't even get it because they've never heard the name Riefenstahl.
Also, maybe, if they hadn't ripped off 80% of their routine of another German band (you might want to have a look at Oomph)...
I guess what ruins Rammstein for me isn't as much the band itself but the hype and the majority of the people who like it as well as the fact that they are often perceived as a "typical German band" for some reason. They're not.
As for insulting mathcore/rock: The standard insults I usually hear is "it's irritating, it has no structure and no melody" - well, yeah, that's why I listen to it.
-
And the precise reason I listen to Rammstein is because they're fun industrial rock. Sure, they're not virtuoso's, but also they're hardly the Sex Pistols. Yeah, they ripped off Oomph, and Laibach, and KMFDM, but so what? Don't hate a band for it's fans, hard as it may be. Also, if you're talking about kicks in the face, you're expecting (probably poser) rivetheads to understand the dynamics of a hardcore pit, which is pretty ridiculous. Just rake the sand from your vagina, man!
-
I bought the album "Toxicity" by System of a Down today. I've never owned anything by them until now. I'm still LOLing at "Bounce".
BOUNCE! Pogo pogo pogo pogo pogo pogo pogo BOUNCE! Pogo pogo pogo pogo pogo pogo pogo!
-
probably going to get laughed at for this, but i like system of a down a lot. and toxicity is their best album in my humble opinion.
and if you think bounce is a weird song you should give vicinity of obscenity off their new cd hypnotize a listen... complete insanity.
and so i'm not off topic.. the last cd i bought was the new porno graffitti - don't call me crazy.
-
Tin Hat Trio - Book Of Silk
Everyone just stop arguing about Rammstein and mathcore and things and buy this album.
Also, I am seeing them tonight. Equals pants-creaming.
-
I recently went on a Ween buying bender.
White Pepper, Chocolate and Cheese, The Mollusk, Quebec.
Gods I love me some Ween.
Also in the past month:
Dark Angel - Darkness Descends
Cake - Comfort Eagle
Opeth - Still Life
Brian Wilson Presents - Smile
Enya - A Day Without Rain
Dog Fashion Disco - Anarchists of Good Taste
OhGr - SunnyPsyOp
My bank account cries when I go near music stores.
-
My student loan finally came, so I went and got myself:
Charles Bronson - Discography
I've had this on tape for about five years now, but since it's damn near impossible to sit through the whole things in one go (it's over 120 songs) this has been on my 'to get' list since I first heard it.
Bilge Pump - Let Me Breathe
I've been meaning to get this since it came out a couple of years ago. Another essential.
V/A - Bitter Days Ahead
It has Voorhees and Wives of Seth on it. Killer.
-
I went out and bought a bunch of CDs for our new café:
St. Germain - Rose Rouge
St. Germain - Sure Thing
Morcheeba - The Big Calm
Morcheeba - Who Can't You Trust?
Supreme Beings of Leisure - Supreme Beings of Leisure
Supreme Beings of Leisure - Divine Operating System
Thievery Corporation - The Cosmic Game
Thievery Corporation - The Richest Man in Babylon
Good stuff.
-
Yeah, they ripped off Oomph, and Laibach, and KMFDM
Hah, you sound kinda like a mix of my stepbrother and my friend Doug.
Personally I think Laibach's cover of the Beatles' album "Let It Be" is a bucket of shit, but whatev. I liked a lot of their other stuff though, it was good fun.
-
Pogues - rum sodomy & the lash
Pogues - If I should Fall from grace with God
Fisher Z - very best of
Captain Beefheart - Trout mask replica
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders from mars (had that only on tape and it was cheap)
Pink Floyd - Animals
Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel - very best of
Herman Brood - My Way, The Hits
On Rammstein. In my opinion their earlier work was far better than the stuff they release these days. A song like Engel or Sonne is much more fun than mein teil or keine lust. (America was a positive exception though) I don't care that they took very much from Laibach (dunno the other bands mentioned apart from Kraftwerk who clearly had an influence but not as much as Laibach obviously) cause they're usually nice to listen to and that's all that matters to me. They're not as special as many 16 year old would like me to think but they're ok. (Germany has bands like the beatsteaks and Wir sind helden who are far more fun. And wasn't Atari Teenage Riot German too?)
-
Atmosphere - Seven's Travels
Simply one of the best hip-hop albums yet created. Slug's emo-hop is unmatched, both in verbal acuity and emotional intensity. And Ant's production is none too shabby either.
Mobb Deep - Murda Muzik
(Hey, it was used and dirt cheap)
LTJ Bukem - Journey Inwards
Cheese. Cheesy McCheese Cheese.
Basement Jaxx - Remedy
Jaxx does it again...amazingly, while it's still upbeat dance music, the character of the album is completely different from Kish Kash. Which is, to wit, a sign of an awesome musical duo.
All Tomorrow's Parties 3.0 (Curated by Autechre)
An amazing collection of hip-hop, IDM, electro, techno, house, and various combinations of the above. Opening with Public Enemy's "Gotta Give the Peeps What They Need," it's all very oldskool IDM/dance from there on out, which is awesome. The inclusion of a Dr. Doooom remix was a nice touch too.
-
Frank Zappa - Strictly Commercial
That's some Zappa that I like. Thanks to StormRider for getting me into him.
-
Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life EP
Although I like all the songs, I'm disappointed because it's only 15 minutesish. Oh well, I wanted When the President Talks to God/True Blue on CD form, and it was only 5 bucks.
-
Just got these:
Monoshock-Walk to the Fire 2LP
Orange Goblin-Frequencies from Planet Ten
Only problem is my CD player crapped out on me and my record player needs a new needle. I'm listening to the OG on my laptop but it just doesn't go loud enough.
-
Frank Zappa - Strictly Commercial
That's some Zappa that I like. Thanks to StormRider for getting me into him.
You like Strictly Commercial, huh? You'd probably really enjoy the whole Joe's Garage series, Overnite Sensation, and One Size Fits All, maybe?
-
Ayreon - Into the Electric Castle
Imagine my surprise when I found this in the local Borders on my lunch break. I mean, I was barely able to find these guys on LimeWire.
-
I went nuts.
At a show on friday, I bought:
Disco Drive - What's Wrong With You, People?
Rainer Maria - Long Knives Drawn
Then, today, I ordered for me:
Slint - Spiderland
The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute
xbxrx - Sixth In Senses
Horse The Band - Themechanicalhand
Pitchfork - Eucalyptus
June of 44 - Tropics And Meridians
Botch - Anthology Of Dead Ends
Rainer Maria - Look Now, Look Again
And I also ordered (somewhere else and as a gift for me for christmas, since my parents have no idea where to get it):
31 Knots - Talk Like Blood
Lightning Bolt - Hypermagic Mountain
So ... let me see, what do we have here? Prog, math, all sorts of hardcore, spastic noise, post-hardcore, post-rock and what I assume is emo-pop. Seems like a good combination to me. :p
-
Ayreon - Into the Electric Castle
Imagine my surprise when I found this in the local Borders on my lunch break. I mean, I was barely able to find these guys on LimeWire.
I seriously really fucking hate to admit it, but Borders has a pretty good cd collection; I mean, I found Crotchduster there. effing Crotchduster. and a bunch of Patton stuff, and whatnot.
-
Frank Zappa - Strictly Commercial
That's some Zappa that I like. Thanks to StormRider for getting me into him.

(http://laserharp.manuel-schulz.com/assets/images/bernard1_thumb.jpg)
-
I seriously really fucking hate to admit it, but Borders has a pretty good cd collection.
Actually, this is pretty true. In fact, I also found:
Alex Skolnick Trio - Transformation
Essentially, the ex-Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick (who happens to be a Satriani-taught thrash wankmaster) formed a jazz group that covers Pink Floyd, Judas Priest, Dio, and Iron Maiden, among others. I had to fucking buy this, even though I hadn't heard anything off of it.
-
That sounds pretty bitchin, actually. Any good? Because I might try to pick it up.
-
I actually haven't gotten a chance to listen to it yet, but I'll make sure to put some up in the Forced Listening thread as soon as I rip it.
-
Lifter Puller, Fiestas + Fiascos (actually bought it last week but it arrived in the mail today)
and
Beck, Guerolito 2xLP
The vinyl came with bonus tracks, which I didn't even notice until I had already bought it. I also have the CD coming in the mail-- the LPs don't come with this "remixed artwork."
-
Just got Maxi Geil! & Playcolt in the mail yesterday. It's amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing...I can't stop listening to it and falling in love every single time. <3 <3 <3

I've recently bought two albums by Jack Johnson. On And On and In Between Dreams.
I had never heard of him before untill I heard the album playing in the store and asked about it. Very much impressed.
He is amazing live. I've been listening to him for four or five years now and no matter how mainstream he gets his music still manages to be completely unique. I love it. Brushfire Fairytales is basically epic, you should get it next (if you like the ones you have)
-
went to the cd store today...
porno graffitti - best blue's
porno graffitti - best red's
fiona apple - extraordinary machine. at first listen it sounds like a few of the songs are different than the version that leaked a while back. and the japan version has some bonus live tracks on it. ^_^

-
this cost me over 7000 yen O_o yikes.
７０００円？！高いね。。。広島が、ユーズドのCD屋がない？
100 Yen is somewhere in the neighbourhood of $.85 USD, or $1 CAN. So $60USD.

If there's one thing I've learned in all my C.D.-buying years, it's that when you see an awesome but rarely stocked C.D. in a shop you've got to buy it straight away. Doesn't matter if money's tight, doesn't matter if you should be spending money on other people (hello, Christmas!). To that end, last week I impulse-bought:
- The Mountain Goats: Bitter Melon Farm; and
- The Mountain Goats: Ghana.
-
I just bought Children of Bodom's "Are You Dead Yet?" yesterday. Fucking ace album.
-
Got the Xasthur/Leviathan split on CD last night, but I was in a very unkriegly mood and haven't gotten around to putting it on yet.
Also, a Skyclad CD I bought someone for Christmas just came in, barely in time. This is good.

It's pretty good, makes you kind of miss Nick Oliveri and his scary penis...

Feist - Let it Die

edit: I win at being an idiot. Wrong thread. That happens if you have like 5 tabs with different threads open.

The Velvet Underground and Nico s/t
I was sorely tempted to also get A Certain Trigger by Maximo Park, Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine, Closer by Joy Division, and Sea Change by Beck, but I decided I needed to draw the limit somewhere.

If there's one thing I've learned in all my C.D.-buying years, it's that when you see an awesome but rarely stocked C.D. in a shop you've got to buy it straight away.
I think I subconsciously took this advice to heart today and splurged on:
Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire - Oh! The Grandeur and Thrills
The Mountain Goats - Protein Source of the Future... Now!
I really shouldn't have, but oh, I'm so glad I did.
-
Oingo Boingo - Nothing to Fear
Oingo Boingo - Good For Your Soul
Both on vinyl. 8 bucks. As well as a used copy of Viewtiful Joe, but that's another topic.
-
Something For Kate - Elsewhere for 8 minutes
The Beatles - Abbey Road
Massive Attack - Blue Lines
Wolfmother - S/T
Dream Theater - Train of Thought
Spinal Tap - This is Spinal Tap (I thought I was seeing shit when I saw this in the record store. Apparently they have another album as well. Fucking weird)
The Decemberists - Picaresque
I mostly cope with holiday stress by buying a whole bunch of CDs.
-
Dream Theater - Octavarium
Pain of Salvation - Entropia
Star One - Space Metal
The last two were bought off amazon.com, via gift certificate purchased with my loose change. Avoiding coin counting fees by getting credit to a place you'd probably spend the money anyway ftw.

-
Unheilig- Moderne Zeiten
Goteki- Revolution
State of Synthpop 2005 (6CD compilation :D)
-
I finally got around to buying the Decemberists' Her Majesty. Damn, I should have bought this months ago! I like it a hell of a lot more than Picaresque. In fact, it's almost as good as Castaways and Cutouts.
I also got the Mountain Goats' We Shall All Be Healed. Also very good, also possibly underrated by a lot of people. But now I'm sad because I'm rapidly running out of Mountain Goats C.D.s to buy (having in 2005 also bought Nine Black Poppies, Zopilote Machine, Nothing for Juice, Full Force Galesburg, Sweden, The Coroner's Gambit, All Hail West Texas, Tallahassee, the Sunset Tree, Bitter Melon Farm, Protein Source of the Future . . . Now!, and Ghana.)
-
Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
SIANsperic - Somnium
Le Tigre - Le Tigre
Good stuff, good stuff.
-
I just got the Pogues Ultimate Collection.
Pretty Irish. Yep.
-
Just went to Amoeba today. Got a good haul:
Herbert - Around the House
Matteo Silva - Ad Infinitum
Low - Christmas
Nirvana - All of Us (The 60's band, not the grunge band)
Harmonia 76 - Tracks & Traces (Harmonia & Brian Eno)
Aztec Camera - Stray
Ciccone Youth - The Whitey Album (Sonic Youth & Mike Watt tribute to Madonna... been looking for this at Amoeba for over a year)
The Nazz - Open Our Eyes: The Anthology
Ulrich Schnauss - Far Away Trains Passing By
-
Just went to Amoeba today.
If you're talking about the one in Berkeley, then I actually prefer the huge Rasputin two blocks down. Bigger selection, and it's broken down by genre better.
-
No, actually I made the trip into SF to go to the Haight Street Amoeba. Beats both the Berkeley Amoeba and Rasputin. I'm actually not a huge Rasputin fan myself, but then again I'm not a huge fan of the Berkeley Amoeba and I'll agree that it's arguable that the Berkeley Rasputin is laid out better.
-
I've never been to the SF Ameoba. I'll make sure I go there next time I'm in the city.
-
I've never been to the best record store on the planet. My life has yet to find meaning.
-
I just got + initial thoughts:
System of a Down - Hypnotize - ...it's kind of boring.
Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene - What I expected. So, good.
Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain - Love this album, but I did when I had it illegally as well.
Audioslave - Out Of Exile - Disappointing.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever To Tell - Pretty rocking. Is Karen O having sex, though? Seems like it.
Orgy - Vapor Transmission - I first listened to this album at a friends house, because I normally don't really dig the electronic stuff in metal, but damn, this album is CATCHY. I didn't expect that since I pretty much hated Candyass.
-
The Postal Service - Give Up
Stars - Set Yourself on Fire
American Analog Set - Set Free
Lali Puna - Faking the Books

SIG QUOTE FTW
IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME.
Seriously, I've been waiting for my first sigquote for like, a long time.
-
I just got ;
Mugison - Little Trip
Deftones - White Pony
Faith No More - The real thing
All of them very good.
-
Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News. It's good. Some of you may know it as the corporate whore out album. I disagree, I think they just decided to play some slightly different material.
-
The Strokes- First Impressions of Earth
Their new album is growing on me.
-
Hawkwind - Doremi Fasol Latido / In Search Of Space
I think this is the stuff my Dad used to get stoned to all those years ago... Classic psychadelic sci-fi nerd rock.
Sheavy - Republic?
It's rare that an album hooks me on the first listen. Brilliant if you like awesome riffs and Ozzy style vocals.
-
Emiliana Torrini - Fisherman's Woman
She has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.
-
Deerhoof - The Runners Four
quirky goodness there!
-
Now a slew of stuff no one has heard of:
Birchville Cat Motel-We Count These Prayers
Birchville Cat Motel-Jewled Wings

V/A-Gold Leaf Branches
-
Hawkwind - Doremi Fasol Latido / In Search Of Space
I think this is the stuff my Dad used to get stoned to all those years ago... Classic psychadelic sci-fi nerd rock.
Hawkwind are so awesome it hurts. I have (to my knowledge, the guy who compiled the torrent may have missed a few*) their entire discog.
*And by that, I mean hundreds. Of course, Hawkwind has a good 93,000 records anyways.
-
Oh boy, I'm super-terrifically excited because Polyester Records here in Melbourne has just started stocking the entire Archers of Loaf back-catalogue - I'm listening to Icky Mettle right now. "Web in Front" is just as brilliant as I remember it, twelve years after I first heard it in high-school! I've been looking in every single record store I've ever entered in Australia for this record ever since then, and this is the first time I've ever seen it.
Shit yeah.
-
2 days ago I purchased £30 worth of old folk and country compilations. It's a good week to be me.
-
Saw Hawkwind a few months ago. Very meh. Not the original drummer, not much good.
On topic: Not bought much really but finally got Feeder: polythene. Woohoo! Music from my high school days that doesn't suck!
-
A few weeks ago i bought a whole stack of CDs with money from christmas.
I got:
Husker Du - New Day Rising
Iggy Pop and the Stooge - Raw Power
AC/DC - Back In Black

Fugazi - Repeater
Surfjan Stevens - Illinoise

a hard (legal) copy of Broken Social Scene's 'you Forgot it in people'
-
^^^ The DEEN!
-
the DEEN!!! indeed.
although, truth be told, i prefer glasgow.
and to stay on topic...
Ladytron - Light and Magic
-
Vintersorg - Till Fjalls
Falkenbach - Ok Nefna Tysvar Ty
Arcturus - Aspera Hiems Symfonia
Harry Gregson-Williams - Chronicles of Narnia Soundtrack (through iTunes, only the original score songs)
-
Opeth-Blackwater Park
And then the cashier gave me his copy of Ghost Reveries for free 'caus ehe doesn't listen to it anymore.
-
That's because it's cheesy and Aryeon are better.
-
Opeth is better for crazy guitar solos (which Arjen doesn't do much), but Ayreon is really just more complex in song structure and arrangments, and of course the really intricate storylines. Not to mention that he's got great vocalists on every single album.
Speaking of which, Khar, which is the Ayreon album with Dickinson in it? I have The Human Equation and Into the Electric Castle, and he's not in either of those.
-
He was on Universal Migrator Part II. I don't have it, so I can't tell you how it is, but.
-
I got:
Iggy Pop and the Stooges - Raw Power
Joy Division - Closer
yey
ow and it's five leaves left and five days off, not five leaves off..sorry, had to say it
-
Low - The Great Destroyer
Devendra Banhart - Rejoicing In The Hands
-
I don't know where I can get the kind of music I want. Would popular music stores have indie music?
The last album I purchased was... Hypnotize?
-
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.
-
Low - The Great Destroyer
that was one of the most dissapointing albums i've ever heard.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Oh, and I bought Thrice - Vheissu
-
Hmm... last thing I bought was Fiona Apple's Extraordinary Machine.
Although the last thing I bought online was The Terminal soundtrack. Good stuff :-).
-
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.
-
Thrice - Vheissu
I don't know about you but I enjoy the crap out of that album.
-
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.)
-
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.
-
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
-
Blind Guardian - Battalions of Fear and Follow the Blind.
-
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.
-
Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets
I must say, I enjoy it more than Darkside of the Moon.
-
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.
-
I just got a copy of Silver Jews - Starlite Walker. So far, so good.
-
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.
-
Recent purchases:
Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica
Pelican - The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw
City City City - The Perimeter Motor Show
-
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.
-
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.
-
Silver Apples - Contact
That stuff will blow yer MIND.
-
Japan - Gentlemen Take Polaroids
Once again, David Sylvian, my main baritone.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
The Beautiful Girls - Learn Yourself.
Dropped onto my doorstop this morning. Great stuff. :D
-
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
-
Deerhoof - The Runners four
Double Disc Vinyl.
Bought it at their show recently and simply cannot stop it spinning.
-
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
-
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.
-
Sigur Ros - ( )
Pelican - The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw
Converge - Jane Doe
Dog Day - Thank You
Jawbreaker - Unfun
-
I haven't listened to a soundtrack since Titanic.... or maybe it was Lion King.
Did I just say that out loud?
-
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...
-
Mogwai-Government Commissions
Finally I have purchased some Mogwai! Sadly it was the only Mogwai album my local independent record store had...
-
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.
-
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.
-
This was the result of four trips to Amoeba Records, one trip to Aquarius Records, and one to Rasputin Records on Friday and Saturday.
Kas Product - Bypass
Lard Free - Unnamed
Kim Hiorthoy - Hopeness EP
Gastr del Sol - The Serpentine Similar

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.
-
Most recently End Hits by Fugazi and Broken Social Scene's self-titled.
-
Nescience; bonus points for the Coil and the King Crimson. Larks' Tongues in Aspic is great.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
Sealab wins.
-
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.
-
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....
-
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. :(
-
Autolux - Future perfect
(also future perfect shares this title with the latest timesplitters game, odd.)
shout out louds - howl howl gaff gaff ( i really like this one ;))
Pavement - slanted and enchanted
-
mogwai- Mr Beast (really really good so far)
Johnny Cash- legend box set
the futureheads
LCD soundsystem
McLusky- McLusky do dallas
the strokes- first impressions of earth (not that great, one song i really like)
yeah i got a bunch of amazon credit so i hit up the recomended listening page for a few suggestions

Today in the mail I recieved The Bad Plus - Suspicious Activity
I immediately had to get on the road to visit my friend who lives about an hour and a half away, and my portable CD player (which I can hook up to my car via a tape adapter) is back in Charleston. Long story short, I haven't listened to it yet, but if "These are the Vistas" and "Give" are any indication, this is going to be bad ass.
-
Astoria - When I Know You Will Too
Got it from a site called The Blue House. The CDs are so cheap there I just had to try it out...
-
Brand New Heavies' self-titled and "Brother Sister".
One of my jackass friends jacked this from me. After several years, I have it again.
-
Mogwai - Mr. Beast
David Bowie - Station to Station
I enjoy them both very much, mmm tasty.
-
In Iceland they sell indie music in basements, I bought:
My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything
Björk - Homogenic
Sigur Rós - Ágætis Byrjun
and Corpse Bride on DVD :)
-
finally bought frances the mute by the mars volta...as well as yoshimi battles the pink robots - flaming lips and brand new - deja vu.
-
Liquorball-Fucks the Sky LP
-The artwork on the front is indecipherable, the artwork on the back is a plagrized, grainy picture of batboy. The lable on the record has no song titles; it simply says "Get well soon". The first side finishes with the singer screaming "why!?" for several minutes.
-
My Bloody Valentine's Loveless and The Jesus and the Mary Chain's Psychocandy. I've had burnt copies of both for ages, and I finally decided to give Kevin Shields and Bobby Gillespie a few dollars respectively.
Both are fucking awesome, as you all well know.
-
I got the Go! Team record for my birthday. I'm broke right now so my birthday was my only hope for new music.
-
The Stills - Logic Will Break You Heart (so damn good)
The Spill Canvas - Sunsets and Car Crashes (my friend got me addicted *shakes fist*. It's so damn emo it hurts, but I'm ashamed to say I totally love it)
-
Panzer AG - This Is My Battlefield
Psyclon 9 - INRI
Lavantgarde - Things Have Changed
Ascii Disko - Alias
Pneumatic Detach - Re.Vis.Cer.A
System Syn - Premeditated
All awesome tbh, not many disappointments lately. Really psyched about seeing Panzer AG in May. :]
-
Today I splurged and got a few new albums and 1 ep.
The Coral - "Magic and Medicine" Nice album. I got hooked when I heard "Don't Think You're the First." Very... Super Furry Animals... but better.
Destroyer - "Destroyer's Rubies" What the hell? I was seriously expecting something heavier as I had never heard Destroyer before... but I absolutely love this album. I'm so glad I listened to it in the store though. I would have had a heart attack in my car if not.
Mission of Burma - "VS." I had never heard of them before, but I wanted to check them out before I go to the Pitchfork Festival. Oh wow, these guys rock. I can't wait till I have the cash to buy their newest album.
(EP) People in Planes - "If You Talk too Much (My Head Will Explode)" It was $.99 and they're going to open for Blue October later this month. I wanted to check them out prior. I'm glad I did. Awesome stuff. I'm excited for both bands now.
-
got me some 'the magic numbers'.
it had a free cd from tooth and nail...or something. so yeah.
-
Skullflower-Last Shot at Heaven
-
The Little Fish soundtrack, which I mostly bought for the covers of Flame Trees. All the compositions are pretty great though.
-
I went a little crazy last week. Expecially since I rarely venture into this corner of the forums.
Pearl Jam: Lost Dogs
Fiona Apple: Extraordiary Machine
Junior Brown: Semi Crazy
Junior Brown: 12 Shades of Brown
Junior Brown: Long walk back
Junior Brown: Mixed Bag
Flyleaf: Self titled EP

My Life In the Bush of Ghosts - Brian Eno & David Byrne
I totally bought this about a week ago.
Damn, I've been beaten... Oh well, at least there's someone to agree that it's all sorts of amazingful then. And it was part of a 3 for $30 at HMV (along with The Smiths and Amnesiac), which made it all the better.
-
No, I wasn't saying it in a sort of "I'm hipper than you" way, it was more of "I have this and it's a totally awesome album, isn't it", way.
-
I knew that, but such feelings are hard to convey over the internet. They need an internet that has emotions and voice tones built into it. I'd totally buy that, or at least illegally download it.
And yes, it certainly is awesome.
-
Today in Tel Aviv:
Marillion - Script For A Jesters Tear.
Nucleus - Elastic Rock
Nucleus - We'll Talk About It Later
Kyuss - Welcome To Sky Vally

Fear of Music- The Talking Heads
All for $25.
-
Brian-Eno-lovin' people: what's the best album to start with? I really need more ambient CDs.
-
Well, it depends on what you're looking for. I'd start with Another Green World, as it shows Eno at a crossroads between his pop and ambient work. Before and After Science shows this nicely as well, as does his work with David Bowie on Bowie's Low and Heroes (though I'd avoid Lodger, the third in Bowie's Berlin trilogy, unless you're a big Bowie fanatic).
As far as his more ambient works go, I'd recommend the experimental work Ambient 1: Music For Airports, Ambient 4: On Land, and a whole bunch of collaborations: the Fripp & Eno album Evening Star, the album with Harold Budd and Daniel Lanois called The Pearl the David Byrne & Eno album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, and his work with Cluster (either the compilation Old Land or the self-titled Cluster & Eno will do fine). All these represent either concept approaches or novel collaborations in Eno's approach to reductive composition in the mid 70s to early 80s.
So I'm still on-topic, I bought a couple CDs this weekend:
Klaus Schulze - X
Silver Scooter & Super XX Man - "The Scot Garred Sampler"
Franciose Hardy - La Question
Jandek - Six and Six
The Stratford Five - A New Design for Living
Plus a lot of other stuff, but I can't remember what it is as I am at work and these are the only CDs from that trip that I have with me.
-
I went out and got the Fiery Furnace's Blueberry Boat. I can't decide if it's irritating or great.
I hope to get Mogwai's new Mr Beast sometime soon, too. "Glasgow Mega Snake" is awesome.
-
Cheers for all the Eno Info, i'll see what I can track down today.
Most recent thing I picked up was a stack of happy hardcore mix CDs. I have no shame.
-
I am proud owner of Arcade Fire's Funeral
And I will get Broken Social Scene - s/t and Belle and Sebastian - The Life Pursuit on friday. Hooray for me
-
1. nico - chelsea girl
2. martha wainwright - martha wainwright
the guy at the store just looked at me and asked "bad breakup?"
silly man.
also...
3. isobel campbell and mark lanegan - ballad of broken seas
4. more super furry animals than i can justify
5. more smiths than i can justify
6. more belle and sebastian...which is great, and needs no justification.
-
Spoon- Gimme Fiction
-
~orange juice-the glasgow school
~built to spill-ancient melodies of the future
~dismemberment plan-change
~shelby-the luxury of time
~the wrens-the meadowlands
~roads to space travel~random 7inch;not sure what it's called, but came with a coloring book of the pentagon, which makes fun of a variety of things (for only $2.something!) ^_^
-
Sonic Youth - Goo (Had a burnt copy lying around for at least two years, excellent stuff, particularly "Tunic (Song for Karen)" and "Dirty Boots". This one was only $10.)
The Arcade Fire - Funeral (What more can be said about this album?)
Dungen - Ta Det Lugnt (Swedish one man band psychedelia revival FTW)
Kraftwerk - The Man Machine ("We're functioning automatic...and we are dancing mechanic". Fuck, this album is awesome.)
-
Kraftwerk are great. I got their 8CD (!) box set a couple weeks ago, with every major album in... still need to listen to some of the CDs.
-
Enon- High Society (finally, I don't know why it took me this long)
Man Man- Six Demon Bag (which is sooo good and wonderfully schizophrenic)
-
Nostalgia 77 - The Garden
Mmm... Jazzolicious. The cover of Seven Nation Army is... sultry.
And I got the Iron & Wine cover of Such Great Heights... I saw that M&M commercial again and I was like... hrm... that guy's voice sounds familiar...
Then I realized that it was the voice of one of the recommendations on here.
-
World Pychedelic Classics 3: Love's A Real Thing
Oh! And I just got "Introducing the Denver Gentlemen" in the mail, var yummy.
-
Last time at the mall, I picked up:
Alkaline Trio - From Here to Infirmary
Bad Religion - The Empire Strikes First
Pedro The Lion - Achillies Heel
The Clash - London Calling (on vinyl)
I need to get the new Lawrence Arms CD. Badly.
-
jonah matranga - theres a lot in here (even though i already owned the original home made version)
jeniferever - choose a bright morning
sepultura - dante xxi
all of which are very very good.
and no i don't want a sepultura/max reunion if at all possible.
-
Diamonds: The Best of Dio- Dio
Purchased as so many people tell me it's great. So far I would have to agree
-
2 totally forgetable Therapy? releases ... so I'll never buy anything from them again.
Depeche Mode - songs of faith and devotion ... pretty good.
Heather Nova - Siren. The sucks. Nowhere near 'Oyster'.
Fields Of The Nephilim - ... some live album. Too lazy to check. Pretty good stuff. Like 'em.
-
Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady
Asian Dub Foundation - Community Music
Billy Bragg - Back to Basics
I have new music! Yay!
-
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.
-
the soviettes - LP
the soviettes - LPII
the soviettes - LPIII
-
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.
-
Augie March - Moo You Bloody Choir
next on my avoid having money plan: The Whitlams - Little Cloud.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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 :P
-
the soviettes - LP
the soviettes - LPII
the soviettes - LPIII
HIGH FIVES!
i didn't know who they were. i was just there with some friends to see the soviettes.
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
-
i didn't really like 'against me!' and 'the epoxies' were kind of unimpressive when i listened to them after that night.
-
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
-
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.
-
they were really cool, though there mics could have been a little louder
-
Against Me! are great. They're honoestly one of my favorite punk bands around today. Soviettes and Epoxies are on that list too.
-
Scott Walker - Boy Child (Best of '67-'70)
-
Mogwai - Mr. beast.
Show in May. Need to get tickets. Now. NAAAAAW!!!
-
I got At War With the Mystics last night at 12 on the dot. Booyah midnight HMV sales.
-
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
Daydream Nation - Sonice Youth
Amnesiac - Radiohead (now I only need the EPs...)
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.
-
Queensryche - Operation: MindCrime II.
Just buy it, folks ...
-
Mogwai - Mr. beast.
Show in May. Need to get tickets. Now. NAAAAAW!!!
Seeing them tonight. Great Album
Mclusky- Mcluskyism
Short, snappy, shouty. Fugazi and Fall fans should love it.
-

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)
-
Queensryche - Operation: MindCrime II.
I'm still skeptical. You think you could upload a song or two to yousendit.com and post it so some of us could listen?
-
Queensryche - Operation: MindCrime II.
Just buy it, folks ...
IT'S OUT? FUUUUCK
-
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 haven't listened to it yet, gotta wait till I've got a chance to get some people together.

Queensryche - Operation: MindCrime II.

It's out, it rules, go to the store.
-
Totally am this weekend.
-
Totally am this weekend.
Geoff Tate called. He'd like to thank you.
-
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.
-
YAY ZORN.
-
FUCK YES.
-
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.
-
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)
-
Christian Death - Ashes
Half of these I found in the clearance section at Amoeba and thus they cost a grand total of $10.
YAY
Also:
Demons & Wizards - "Touched By The Crimson King"
YAY
-
Cannibal Corpse - Kill.
Wow. Sick.
-
I bought Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Her Majesty The Decemberists the other day... after I've had them on my hard drive for a couple months.
-
isobel campbell - amorino
owls - s/t
mineral - the power of failing
-
Enigma- Love Sensuality Devotion
The Birthday Masscare- Violet
HIM- Greatest Love Songs 666 (2nd hand)
-
Dark Tranquility - "Character"
Mad props, brilliant album.
-
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
-
Too bad you got Nick's worst album, seriously Babe, I'm on Fire is horrid
-
Nick Cave - Nocturama (I now have every Cave studio album from 1997 onwards, not that anyone cares)
Well, I think that's very nice for you. *hugs*
You see? ... we care!
-
V/A: Čečenská tradiční hudba - Chechen traditional music CD
Which is wonderful and excellent.
-
Too bad you got Nick's worst album, seriously Babe, I'm on Fire is horrid
Well, I needed Bring It On and Rock of Gibraltar, and it was the cheapest one there.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I actually got it like a month ago, but it was still my most recent album purchase:
CHARGE!! by the Aquabats.
I thought they were a dead band, but it looks like they're back. First album produced by them in 6 years or something like that. There's no trumpet this time, so it's got a lot more of a punkish feel to it, but it's still delightfully Aquabattish. Fashion Zombies! and Awesome Forces! are fantastic songs.
"We are your average, ordinary, SUPERHUMAN! punishers-of-evil ROCK-AND-ROLL BAND! And we've been designate4d to save this crazy world. We cannot die, for this is our destiny."
-
A Love Supreme-John Coltrane
There were a few different versions of the reissue and I just got the cheapest one, I think it's the 2003 one.
-
Enigma- Love Sensuality Devotion
That makes LSD.
COINCIDENCE!?
-

I suggest you get Let Love In or The Boatman's Call. Very, VERY different albums, but both brilliant.
-
That makes LSD.
COINCIDENCE!?
You should get Coil's Love's Secret Domain.
No coincidences there.
-
NO THERE IS NO WAY THAT COIL ARE ON DRUGS AT ALL MAN
-
I am sure that Coil album is a coincidence, Enigma however are drug freeeks!
I suggest you get Let Love In or The Boatman's Call. Very, VERY different albums, but both brilliant.
I will see what I can find :)
-
I'm pretty damn sure that Coil love their drugs.
-
Everyone is on drugs.
...now I just wanna start a band called 'Weed' or 'LSD'
-
A Love Supreme-John Coltrane
There were a few different versions of the reissue and I just got the cheapest one, I think it's the 2003 one.
What?! You mean you didn't go for the super-deluxe 42nd anniversary gold-plated platinum-re-plated diamond-encrusted OmniDisc™ edition that includes 47 minutes of bonus recordings of John Coltrane urinating? Dude, it's the best version of the album reissued so far this month!
-
It turned out to be kind of a lousy shop and all those guys who were there to buy porn gave me the willies! Lots of hardcore and metal, most of it shite and no indie whatsoever. Basically meh, no Nick Cave no nothing. From now on I will buy everything over the internet.
Tom Waits - Alice
Gåte - Jygri(plus a bonus cd)
and some Hawkwind compilation with Space Ritual Sundown Vol.2 and a live cd called Bring Me the Head of Yuri Gagarin.
-
Amina - AnimaminA
-
Islands--Return to the Sea. I'm on my first listen right now, I have to say I like what I hear.
-
Lots of hardcore and metal, most of it shite and no indie whatsoever.
Exact opposite of the local independent record shop here in Charleston. We should totally trade record shops.
Anyways, I recently recieved from Amazon John Scofield's "En Route." It's really good so far.
-
I wouldn't trade that shop with my worst enemy, so much useless junk. My little brother thought the hardcore was great, but the metal was either Iron Maiden or some shit like Immolation with the odd Eros Ramazotti(italian pop singer) thrown in. On top of it I wasn't feeling well and all the porn got on me nerves.
-
Oh, well then I rescind my offer. Iron Maiden is awesome, but I can get them anywhere. As far as I can tell (being someone who can't stand indie) the shop here is pretty good. That's what all of my friends who listen to that
crap perfectly valid style of music say.
-
Ayreon - The Human Equation
Saw it in a Boston Borders and bought it on impulse.
And oh yeah, I'M BACK, FUCKERS.
-
How is it?
-
FUcking amazing, I can tell you that.
-
How is it?
Dunno, I'm about to listen to it now. I only had my iPod with me on the plane.
-
Sorry to double post, but I finally finished it and it is fucking amazing. Seriously.
-
Satanic Panic In The Attic - Of Montreal
Sunlandic Twins - Of Montreal
At War With The Mystics - The Flaming Lips
You're A Woman, I'm a Machine - Death From Above 1979
I went into the store with a solemn promise to myself that I would only buy the first CD listed above. But then self was all "screw being controlled and rational!" and I ended up with all of themses.
-
Nick Cave - The Good Son (which I have listened to, and based on the first listen, it's brilliant stuff. Really puts Nocturama in its place.)
Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
-
Low - David Bowie
Paul's Boutique - Beastie Boys
The Band - The Band
Fairly massive sale at A&B Sound, I totally should've bought more.
-
If I were to get one Iron Maiden album, which should I get? figured this would be the place to ask. Because that will likely be my next album purchase.
-
Number of the Beast is pretty definitive, I think.
I personally started on Dance of Death.
-
If I were to get one Iron Maiden album, which should I get? figured this would be the place to ask. Because that will likely be my next album purchase.
number of the beast'll most likely be the cheapest but Powerslave' will probably clinch it for most potential fans.
Wire- Pink Flag.
Pretty good, but they're suffering from Helmet Syndrome. Must've been mind-blowing at the time, possibly the first ever art-punk record, but sounds nowhere near as unique anymore. damn shame.
-
Um. Helmet syndrome, even though Wire came first? How the fuck does that work? Shouldn't it be named after Wire if anybody?
-
If I were to get one Iron Maiden album, which should I get? figured this would be the place to ask. Because that will likely be my next album purchase.
If you're in the US, they recently released a double-CD called 'The Essential Iron Maiden'. Really, except for the exclusion of Hallowed Be Thy Name and Rime of the Ancient Mariner and putting in fucking Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter, it's pretty much as good of a collection as you could ask for.
But if you want to get an actual ALBUM (since you may not want to just get a teaser of each album and have to go back and pay for those songs a second time), I'd suggest to start off with Number of the Beast or Piece of Mind. Somewhere in Time is probably narrowly my favorite, but it's a lot different from their earlier, more 'classic' material.
-
Roots Manuva - Awfully Deep
Eels - Electro-Shock Blues
-
Really, except for the exclusion of Hallowed Be Thy Name and Rime of the Ancient Mariner and putting in fucking Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter,
What the hell kind of collection is that?
-
But if you want to get an actual ALBUM (since you may not want to just get a teaser of each album and have to go back and pay for those songs a second time),
Just judging from the fact a lot of bands that I like tend to be heavily influenced by Iron Maiden, or fans of them tend to be IM fans, I figured I should go that route for a change. Already got enough albums where it's just the greatest hits of guys who's only songs I really care for are their biggest numbers, like Aerosmith (Dream On = the fucking win), Guns and Roses (Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child of Mine, Paradise City, and Sympathy for the Devil are about the only songs they did I can stomach, to be honest. Power ballads start to drive you mad after awhile), and Pantera (the albums Cowboys from Hell and their best of album is plenty).
STUPID AS HELL best of albums I bought when I sit back and think about it include Led Zeppelin and Ozzy Osbourne. I should just get every Zeppelin album, because it's fucking Led Zeppelin, and Ozzy is just Ozzy. Bark at the Moon and I Just Want You are two of my most favoritest songs.

The Mountain Goats - Babylon Springs EP
+ the T-Shirt
-
Holy shit, are not the Mountain Goats on fire on this tour?
-
They were awesome. John spoke alot woth the crowd and explained stuff about the songs and just generally blew everyone away.
Inlander do you know which song features the line (paraphrased) -
I hope you die,
I hope we all die
or summink
EDIT: Found it (No Children)

Um. Helmet syndrome, even though Wire came first? How the fuck does that work? Shouldn't it be named after Wire if anybody?
Wasn't there a comic about Helmet awhile back that mentioned this issue- that they don't seem as innovative nowadays?
OK...
"Wire Syndrome: to be a once-innovative band but to seem less unique after some time, after over-influencing too many bands and inspiring too many copyists."
there it is.
MC5- High Time.
Got it during lunch hour. Spectactular.
-
What the hell kind of collection is that?
Well, it's considerably better than their other ones, at least.
New One (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009RQSGY/sr=8-2/qid=1145490803/ref=pd_bbs_2/104-1936609-5023132?%5Fencoding=UTF8) vs. Old One 1 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000IJPU/ref=m_art_li_17/104-1936609-5023132?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=5174) and Old One 2 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006SM7W/ref=m_art_li_10/104-1936609-5023132?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=5174)
Actually, Best of the Beast is good except it still has Bring Your Daughter and not Rime, but it also doesn't have any of their newer stuff, unlike Essential.
And Edward the Great has fucking Holy Smoke on it. 'Nuff said.
-
Tired of Hanging Around - The Zutons
Africa Unite - Bob Marley and the Wailers
-
Seriously, how hard can it be to compile a perfectly good Maiden best of thing?
-
The Mountain Goats - Babylon Springs EP
+ the T-Shirt
Same here. That's rather creepy...
-
John Frusciante - Shadows Collide with People
Kå - Sammenbidt Blidt
Cocteau Twins - Treasure
and now I am pretty much broke ;)
-
Yay Cocteau Twins!
-
Same here. That's rather creepy...
Well it was the Brissie show. I was standing next to a group of drunk uni girls who only stopped talking when they played This Year, and by stopped talking I mean started shouting the lyrics.
Other than that it was an awesome concert.

Considering how much of it is interchangeable, pretty tricky.

At the Melbourne gig, a bunch of people started spontaneously singing along with "You or Your Memory", much to John's (and everyone else's) surprise. 'Twas very cool.
-
I just bought Why's Elephant Eyelash (and Ziggy Stardust because I lost my old copy).
Good music.
-
MORNINGWOOD! I BOUGHT MORNINGWOOD!

I just got word that I didn't get a teaching position I wanted, so I went on a bender at Amoeba Records:

We Are Scientists - With Love and Squalor

Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco
Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um

I'm embarassed of a couple of my recent purchases, not of the CDs (I think they're wonderful), but of the fact that I only just bought them.
Yes - Fragile
ELP - Brain Salad Surgery
Mr. Big - Lean Into It
Nightwish - Once
-
Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted
It's about goddamn time. I've got two other Pavement albums and I've had almost all the songs off of this one. I feel like I tied some loose ends up.
ALSO:
LCD Soundsystem - S/T
I don't even like them that much, however, I found this cd for 11 bucks. It's a fun enough album.
-
System Of A Down - Toxcity
Soon shall i purchase the album We sweat blood by Danko Jones. They rock damnit!!
-
Baby 63-Quiver 7"
The Dissimilars-Landmine 7"
Parts & Labor-Stay Afraid LP
Magik Markers-A Panegyric to the Things I do Not Understand
-
Holy shit, are not the Mountain Goats on fire on this tour?
I really wish I could catch them; I've been listening to them constantly lately. But I've read that another album's due out in the fall. Maybe I'll get lucky then.
-
today i broke down and bought
built to spill = you in reverse
pretty girls make graves = elan vital
interpol = antics + bonus ep
calexico / iron & wine = in the reins
i had been meaning to get all of these, since i had downloaded them when they were leaked... i love owning tangible music.
-
My very latest purchase would be Darkest Hour's Undoing Ruin.
It's very amazing. I highly recommend it. (That, along with all the rest of their discography)
-
Oh man. I LOVE NEW MUSIC! I just got:
Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor
Evergrey - Monday Morning Apocalypse
In Flames - Colony
-
Tell me how Monday Morning Apocalypse is, I was going to get it but then the whole trip back East sorta fucked up my timetable.
-
Black Dice- Broken Ear Record
Don't quite have an opinion yet after just one listen- but that one listen did have me grinning and laughing.
-
Man, I had it on while cleaning, so I haven't really given it a sound listen, but what I've been hearing in my half-paying-attention state is pretty awesome.
-
Bruce Springsteen - We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions
David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
And then, from my church thrift sale, for $2 (for all of them, not each):
The Wailers - Burnin'
Prince - The Hits 1
Prince - The Hits 2
Pearl Jam - Ten
The Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Bruce Springsteen - Human Touch
The Lemonheads - It's a Shame About Ray
Beck - Beercan EP
Definately a good haul for $2.
-
Atheist - Elements (remastered)
Man, I just realized that after the recommendation I made, I didn't even own the album, or even have all the songs from it. So I saw it in Borders on my break for 14 bucks. I bought that CD like a sex-starved frat boy buys a Girls Gone Wild DVD: quickly and with my pants half unzipped.
*True, but I was not actually aware my fly was open at the time.
-
Hahahar
That's the best thing I've heard all day!

Stereolab - Dots and Loops
-
How the hell do you people afford to buy six or seven albums at a time? Like, don't you people need to eat? wtf?
-
I don't do it regularly. I could just buy fewer albums more frequently, but I don't. And that was like the total from two trips in about two weeks.
-
Since last time:
AFX - Chosen Lords
Autechre - Peel Sessions ($12!)
Calexico and Iron & Wine - In the Reins ($10!)
Some Mingus compilation or other.
Keith Fullerton Whitman - Playthroughs
another album that the sample and the little write up sounded awesome (hasn't arrived yet and my internet is slow like the living dead today so I can't get to my email to check)
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume 2
I scored an extra shift at work, I don't have any of that money left!
-
Yay Aphex Twin!
-

1. My parents buy my food.
2. I buy CDs really, really ridiculously smart. As in as cheap as I can.
-
DynamiteKid is right, but also:
Music > Eating
-
Led Zeppelin - BBC Sessions
Deep Purple - Burn (30th anniversary edition)
Deep Purple - Made in Japan
Derek and the Dominos - Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs
Sypmhony X - The Odyssey
-
Something by FinnTroll.
TROLLHAMMAREN!
Or something.
-
Cherubs-Heroin Man CD
Flying Saucer Attack-Distance CD
-
Camel: Rajaz
Probably the best non-electronic prog-rock album I know. Finally found a proper CD copy last week.
-
Greenhaus - Another Life
Black Tape For A Blue Girl - A Chaos Of Desire
Black Tape For A Blue Girl - Before The Buildings Fell
-
Oh man, I've heard of Camel but I haven't been able to find any of their songs before. You think you could maybe upload a track or two to yousendit.com and post it where I could download? That'd be totally awesome.
-
Radiohead - Kid A (I wanted to buy this album ever since I know the band, but never got a chance to)
Charlie Haden & Kenny Barron - Night And The City
-
Sigur Ros - Takk. (Downloaded it immediately but couldn't afford it until recently)
Delays - You See Colours (aaaah so lovely, even better than their first!)
Jack's Mannequin - Everything In Transit (Huge love for Andrew McMahon)
-
I just bought Evergerey's Monday Morning Apocalypse. Gonna go listen to it right now,
-
Radiohead - Kid A (I wanted to buy this album ever since I know the band, but never got a chance to)
Last track of that album = SUCH a disappointment.
-
Kinda, yeah. But the rest of the album is brilliant.
-
Got Moneen's "Red Tree", and Cadillac Blindside's "Allegory of Death and Fame". The former is great (far better than the previous moneen LPs). Haven't listened much to the latter, yet.
-
Sun Ra and his Solar Arkestra-The Magic City
-My first proper jazz album.
-
Just got the new Pearl Jam album today (interestingly enough, it's their self-titled album...), as well as the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album.
I am happy these guys are still making music.
-
Sun Ra and his Solar Arkestra-The Magic City
-My first proper jazz album.
Oh man, my Sun Ra records are pretty much the only jazz I own and there's some crazy shit on there. I don't know what the hell is going on, half the time it sounds like an orchestra trying to tune their instruments and failing, but it's strangely compulsive...
Any jazz fans passing through this thread wanna hit me up with some recommendations? Being such a huge genre, I feel kinda embarrassed that I know nothing of it.
-
Enon - Lost Marbles and Exploded Evidence
Of Montreal - The Sunlandic Twins
The New Pornographers - Mass Romantic
I really <3 the Of Montreal album, and the New Pornographers album is rocking as ever.
-
Any jazz fans passing through this thread wanna hit me
up with some recommendations? Being such a huge genre, I feel kinda embarrassed that I know nothing of it.
If you liked Sun Ra you should try Orrnete Coleman's Free Jazz album. 47 minutes of collective impovasetions by a double quintet directed by Coleman. Also try John Zorn's Nake City, and his Orrnete tribute album, Spy Vs. Spy.
Also, Miles Davis' Birth Of The Cool, the album that started the Cool Jazz period after Bebop. Another good album by Davis is Kind Of Blue, an album the pretty much started the Modal Jazz period (composition that uses a single modal scale insted of chord progressoion, a lot of Free Jazz was based on it). As you can see Miles was pretty much ahead in every new Jazz gener (he also started Jazz Rock with Bitch's Brew and In A Silent Way, And there is an album called Miles Ahead).
For more modern Jazz artists I'd recommend Medeski, Martin & Wood. Their The Dropper album is a pretty good start with the band, they also recorded with DJ Shadow.
If you track back in the forum you can find some threads about Jazz (there was a thread about Coltrane a while back).
This should cover some of it, I just dont want to derail the thread any more.
Wait, what happened to BB? he could do this better then me.
-
Jeez, what did I buy most recently? I think it was...yeah it was Octavarium.
-
The Real McCoy by McCoy Tyner is a pretty awesome and classic jazz album.
-

You know he's playing the Atlanta JazzFest this year, right?

Cheers guys <3

Hell is for Heroes - The Neon Handshake - ABOUT FUCKING TIME. I've known this album's singles inside out for years (in fact the video to one of them was partially responsible for awakening my sexuality) and it's taken me three years to actually buy it. About damn time, I owed it to them.
Nick Cave - Firstborn Is Dead - I wasn't too impressed with this one honestly. That is, outside of Tupelo, which is magnificent.
Bob Dylan - Live 1966 - ORGASM. This is so good (and I knew this before I bought it) that I spent £15 on this one package. Ordinarily, I'd buy three CDs for that much. But I wanted this album that much, for some reason. Yeah, it's awesome. It also comes with a fascinating booklet about 60 pages long with loads of awesome pictures and some really enthralling reading in it.
-
The Mountain Goats - Tallahassee
-
A is for Algorithm - Soundtrack to an imaginary video game
Ronin - The sun rises in the east
Motion Soundtrack - the bridge
Motion Soundtrack - nine days' wonder

The Fever - In The City of Sleep
-
I found out today that 78's has a contempory classical and avant-garde section!
so:
Steve Reich - You Are (Variations)
Loscil - First Narrows
And there will be murder if the phone ring again before Cello Counterpoint finishes. Seriously, I do not want to buy your crap/switch phone companies/get a quote on my house nor do I have the power to do so. WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE TO CALL EVERY 8 MINUTES?
-
Last album shop was a goodie...
AC Newman - the Slow Wonder
the Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers
Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
Sigur Ros - Ágætis Byrjun

Oh man, thank you, now I have to go listen to that album!
Also I bought The Best of REM. It's good.
-
I had a coupon for best buy so I bout the new Tool album for 89 cents because a friend of mine worked on a few the peices of 3d art for it.
I couldn't ever make it work I just got dizzy trying.
-
Hoppy Kamiyama - Juice and Tremolo
Hoppy Kamiyama - A Meaningful Meaninglessness

Last track of that album = SUCH a disappointment.
Motion Picture Soundtrack is one of my favourite Kid A tracks.

Well I can't stand it. Each to their own.
-

Also, the new Futureheads album is released today! Joy! :)
And I need to nag my friend to replace my Desaparecidos that he lost. Grr.
-
Sonic Youth - Sonic Youth
A rather different sound than the one I'm used to by Sonic Youth. The Glenn Branca influence is very clear here. I love it.
-
Four Tet's Everything Ecstatic and Dungen's Ta Det Lugnt are my newest musical buys, after being tempted by Spillers Records in Cardiff.
-
The Futureheads - News & Tributes
Awesome as it comes. I loved their first cd and this one is even better.
-
Which REM Best of? 83-87 or 89-03?

Fantastic compilation, if only for including the Great Beyond and saving us all from wasting money on a soundtrack album.
-
Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way
also the Lion King soundtrack.
Hmm...I'm a pretty odd person, now that I think about it.
-
The Flaming Lips - Clouds Taste Metallic
Now I have everything post Transmission From the Satellite Heart. I think that also makes it half their discography (minus compilations).

I have just purchased the new Chad VanGaalen album "Skelliconnection", and I am damn happy about it, too :). It was the last day for preordering, so I will also receive a bonus hand-painted demo cd with 3 unreleased songs!
Thank you, SubPop!
-
Albums I have purchased on amazon that will hopefully arrive soon:
Thom Yorke - The Eraser
The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers (based on the wonderfully Beatley single Hands, as well as the excellent Steady, As She Goes)
Duels - The Bright Lights And What I Should Have Learned (been looking forward to this for months)
Pink Floyd - The Wall (as part of my 'buy the shit I have on MP3' policy)
Bob Dylan - Modern Times
-
Yesterday I ordered the new Wäldchengarten album Distractions from their new label Phisteria. First time I ever bought something straight from the label. It is supposed to be more low-end and something as paradoxical as a relaxing noise album. The release date is tomorrow so of course I expect it to be on my doorstep the same day ;)
-
We have two album purchases threads, we're going to have to choose one.

Not necessarily. This one is for what you bought, the other is for whether it's any good.
