last week i got
the new boy sets fire ...... and Ruined by idiots - Iron Monkey! what a fucking heavy album ! damn! |
meanSpleen, is that a new Peyroux album? Really loved Dreamland and Careless Love.
I'm enjoying The Life Pursuit by Belle and Sebastian quite a bit. |
Hey avernus
The Got You On My Mind album actually came out between Dreamland and Careless Love. Somewhere near the end of the eight year gap between the two solo albums. Compared to those two albums, it just sounds a little bit lighter with a little bit more of the french tonality and a little less of the deep blues sound that she stepped into on a few other tracks. |
I was told I absolutely HAD to spend money today for some immigration thing... I don't know. Anyway, I bought:
Demons And Wizards - Touched By The Crimson King Eagles Of Death Metal - Death By Sexy I didn't really need to buy either one of them, as I've had them both downloaded for some time, but I figured I'd go ahead and support the artists... or something equally noble. |
Mmmm... i expected more out of Imogen
Just bought : The Strokes - First Impressions Of Earth The Decemberists - Picaresque Taking Back Sunday - Louder Now Iron & Wine - MANY |
The Arcade Fire - Funeral
The Dears - No Cities Left |

I just picked up Panic at the Disco, and it's okay. I like about 3 songs, and the rest I can take or leave. My friends said it was great and I'd love it, but I don't have that feeling yet. I haven't purchased a CD in a while, so I'm kind of bummed. I guess that's why I don't buy cd's too often.

Tupac's Greatest hits album
I had it already but someone scratched it and it would look good with my collection |
snow patrol - last straw check it out, it rocks

Couple of weeks ago, I was killing time between trading off my kids to my wife at 10:30 and Karate class at noon, so I popped over to the used record store and picked up Queen - Live at Wembly in 86, BÖC - Extraterrestrial Live, and Jethro Tull - Broadsword and the Beast. I just saw Queen with the former lead singer from Bad Company whose name secapes me at the moment about a month ago, and I had only their best of and a half dozen MP3s. It's pretty good, but you can sort of tell that Freddy was starting to flag a bit. The other two are, while good in their way, mostly purchases to fill collection gaps.

Alan Jackson - Precious Memories
Yeah, it's a country artist, and yeah, it's all church hymns. But, they're done well...very well, and it's what I grew up with. I like it. I know all the songs, and can sing 'em, too! |

Our most recent purchase included:
Her Space Holiday - The <strike>Past</strike> Presents the Future The Flaming Lips - At War With the Mystics |
I havent done this for awhile so:
A couple months ago I got Imogen Heap's 'Speak For Yourself.' Friggin amazing. I also picked up a Rod Stewart collection, a Clapton collection, a mixed Fifties album, and a Duke Ellington/Rosemary Clooney collaboration which was excellent. More recently I picked up a Buddy Rich live album 'Big Swing Face', John Legend's 'Get Lifted' and Gnarls Barkley's debut 'St. Elsewhere'. Both of which are excellent as well. Im dissapointed I took so long to pick up 'Get Lifted', I had been meaning to get it earlier but I never got around to it. I'm kicking myself now, considering I could have had this disc a long time ago. Next up, I'm looking into the rap genre a little more. Some of Common's older stuff, maybe checking out Keak Da Sneak, and some more underground hip-hop. |
Last CD binge I went on was:
Tool -- 10,000 Days AC/DC -- Back in Black and The Razor's Edge Waking Ashland -- Composure |
Sufjan Stevens - Come on and feel the ILLINOISE!
I was pleasantly surprised by this mellowed out album. I had never really heard Sufjan Stevens, and the album kindof broke my pre-concieved sound that I had expected it, which I liked. 'The Count Meets the Duke: Duke Ellington and Count Basie' I'm kind of pissed because I havent gotten to listen to this yet... But I think I just realized the reason it isn't working on my computer... Does SACD have any compatibility issues with players? |
|
Mos Def - Black On Both Sides
Talib Kweli & Mos Def are...BlackStar Busta Rhymes - The Big Bang All dope albums, although Mos Def's album is by far my favorite. He's one of the dopest lyricists to bless the mic, imo. |

kadath,
Hey, I haven't managed to see you around before (well, at least the tribe avatar called out to me). (Native Clevelander) Well, I actually bought some cd's for the first time in a while (all for $6 total, got them at a record store on Chestnut in philadelphia). P.O.S. - Audition: I was pretty excited to get this (previously, I just heard 'P.O.S. is ruining your life'), and so far, it's mixed. I've only listened to about half of the cd so far. Some of the tracks just remind too much of stale Rap/Rock that was popular in the late 90's, early 00s. Some of the other ones sounded fresh though. The other two I picked out just because I thought the albums' cover art looked like something I'd like and I just decided to take a chance for the heck of it (I never really do this, but I'm glad I did) Astronautilus - You and yer good ideas. This is pretty unique and I like it. He raps over a light beat and melody that is sort of ambiant and indie pop-like. The only thing I can compare to is maybe, clouddead, but less minimalist. Pete camoflague - miser is relative. I haven't listened to it yet, I probably will this weekend. Catcha back on the flipside, keyshawn |
since my last post in this thread...mostly used as always
Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Rust Never Sleeps Brian Vander Ark - Angel, Put Your Face On Mason Jennings - Bone Clouds The Ditty Bops - Moon Over the Freeway The Verve Pipe - The Freshmen (single) Chris Thile - Deceiver Blanche - If We Can't Trust the Doctors...

Ward - Transfiguration of Vincent Mew - The Zookeeper's Boy EP Rosie Thomas - If Songs Could Be Held |
Went today. Peter Gabriel's So, Jethro Tull's Best Of, Billy Joel's Essential Collection.
|
Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison
Johnny Cash - At San Quentin |
Jethro Tull - Under Wraps
This is actually a really bad album but, 1) It immediately recalls the scent of my bedroom in high school (desparation), 2) Has some great lines on it ("I anticipate a cleansing opportunity/to take the horns by the bull...") and 3) Very nearly completes my Jethro Tull collection. |
|
Tool - Vicarious
Very good in my opinion. Not typical music, as no Tool ever is. Pink Floyd - Animals A CD I've wanted to purchase for years, and just never seemed to get around to. |
Sigur Ros - ()
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Creeper Lagoon - Take Back the Universe and Give Me Yesterday |
Airiel Down.
Saw them at Castaways, a restaurant and bar in Ocean City, MD. Went to eat with wife and neighbors on a three day vacation. Thought they kicked ass with a few covers and all of their debut album. Guys really seemed to enjoy playing even to a group of about 20 people. They call themselves a music band(as opposed to rock band) but on their site they are described as ambient rock. A little like Incubus. Bought the CD for 10 bucks. The lead singer reminds me a little of Gary Busey and Bruce Campbell with his snarling smile and big white chompers( I'm not gay, but those teeth were amazing and he knew it). Enjoyed every song and also watching them perform. |
I actually picked up Christina Aguilera's new one today, not knowing what the outcome would be. And strange enough, but Im glad I got it.
Also picked up Fountains of Wayne "Out of State Plates" |
It's sad when I haven't even heard of 3/4ths of the artists mentioned on this page.
The last cd I purchased was Childish Things by James McMurtry. It has a lot of catchy tunes. The next album I will purchase will be something by Bing Crosby. That man's voice is like velvet. My wife and I just saw "Going My Way". My wife has a crush on Bing. If he wasn't long dead, I might be jealous. Plus, I could sing like Bing if I really wanted to... |
|
I recently bought a cd called "amor amor", the singer is Arielle Dombasle. The music is significantly different to what I usually listen to. It is songs from the 30's to the 50's. These websites have a samples of the tracks.
http://www.arielle-dombasle.net/ (has some music in the intro so be careful if you're opening it somewhere where being quiet is necessary). http://www.shock.com.au/releases/inf...ase_ID=2615930 |
meanSpleen:
Great picks with Ditty Bops and Travis. How are Camera Obscura and the Feist remixes? Lake Trout - There Are No Words Jai Alai Savant - Thunderstatement Bic Runga - Birds (w/DVD) Snow Patrol - Final Straw Fiery Furnaces - EP Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around King Crimson - Red Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out Turin Brakes - Ether Song Bright Eyes - Digital Ashes in a Digital Urn Iron & Wine - The Sea & the Rhythm Regina Spektor - Begin to Hope Xiu Xiu - Fabulous Muscles Ani Difranco - Knuckle Down Flaming Lips - Clouds Taste Metallic Rosie Thomas - When We Were Small |
I loved the Ditty Bops first one, so getting the 2nd one was a no brainer. And I realized I was lacking in my Travis catalogue (I'm now up to TWO albums by them)
Out of all the CDs I bought that day, the Camera Obscura was the best of the bunch. It has received the most honor of spending the whole week in my cars cd player, which I reserve for only a select few albums. I would definitely have to rate it a 9 out of 10. -Songs that kick my butt- Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken Let's Get Out of This Country The False Contender The Feist album overall was just OK. I mean, its the same song listened to differently. It's nice that it starts out more jazzy then ramps up to more electric, but at the end of the day you just want to listen to the original album. There are some standouts that definitely give the original mixes a run for their money, but then there are the others that make you go "oh, that was nice". Rated 6/10 And where in the world did you get the Bic Runga album?! I thought it was Import only!! +++++ Bought the following: http://ec3.images-amazon.com/images/...V51395070_.jpg Lady & Bird - Lady & Bird (Keren Ann and Bardi Johannson) http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...121277620_.jpg Mariza - Transparente (Portugese Fado) |

Just picked up The Matches - Decomposer. It different than their first cd but quality

Hm..
Catching up on a few things.. Picked up: Robbie Fulks--> Let's kill Saturday night Trivium--> The crusade It Dies Today--> Sirens (it's not like The Caitiff Choir, but what is?) Atmosphere--> Seven's Travels H.I.M.--> Uneasy Listening Vol. I Prolly be picking up 5 or 6 more by weeks end.. I'll keep ya posted |
Was not intending to buy any music for a while, but Om Records has a sale. Picked up the following.
http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...116748046_.jpg King Kooba - Indian Summer http://ec3.images-amazon.com/images/...115815560_.jpg DJ Mark Farina - Mushroom Jazz http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/...115336245_.jpg DJ Mark Farina - Mushroom Jazz 5 http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...V35537598_.jpg Om: Winter Sessions Mixed By Justin martin and Johnny Fiasco The King Kooba and Mark Farina I have been meaning to pick up. The Winter Sessions I snagged out of curiousity. Still have to listen to them all. |
I heard the Mark Farina - Mushroom Jazz albums are amazing. It is usually a good bet that KCRW (radio) plays at least one track off any of his albums at least once a week between releases.

http://www.kcrwmusic.com <-- online streams of music based programming. You may want to focus on 'Metropolis', the program by Jason Bentley. Playlists are abundant!
You can also listen to the radio live stream. Use the KCRWlive or KCRWmusic links at the top of the page. It is an NPR station, so no commercials outside of standard radio promotion. I prefer Metropolis, The A Track, Pop Secret and Brave New World. You may enjoy Metropolis, and The Drop. Using the on site navigation bar, go to Music, then click on Overview and Programs. Scroll down to any music programming you want, and click on Latest Show. You can listen to the most recent broadcast of the show on demand! Feel free to peruse the playlists as well. |

I just lit Sean Lennon's concert on the 18th and will be buying his "Friendly Fire" CD here soon. Good stuff.

Yes. You do have a problem. You didn't buy the Frou Frou album EARLIER.
|
Actually, don't shoot me, but I found it pretty disappointing. I liked Speak For Yourself much more.
|
My girlfriend's roommate bought me Bob Dylan's Modern Times and, my favourite new CD, Corb Lund's Hair In My Eyes Like a Highland Steer
http://www.corblund.com/graphics/hime_cover_front.gif It'll make anyone like country. |
At the moment I'm concentrating on replacing my old vinyl collection. My last purchase, which I found in a second-hand record shop was the album Over by Peter Hammill.
|
Jay-Z Kingdom Come...
Damn... that is one badass mother fucker... |
Yesterday I bought Blair Harvey & The Dregs.
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...d92f70a8a9.jpg Blair is a local musician who plays about 3 or5 gigs a week in various bars around St. John's. His style is best described as rockabilly/blues. Listen to his stuff here: http://www.myspace.com/blairharvey |
Derek Trucks Band - Songlines
Bobby Bare - Down and Dirty...plus Quote:
Have you tried any of the following? Gram Parsons - Grievous Angel The Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo The Flying Burrito Bros. - Guilded Palace of Sin They will make you like country (well country rock) even more. |
Really into Barenaked Ladies "Barenaked Ladies Am I". Really different from all the other stuff I've heard from them, but has a definite replay value. The song I listen most from that CD is "Home".
|
Brand New - the devil and god are raging inside me
|
Jimi Hendrix - Axis: Bold as Love
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Stooges - Stooges (2CD) White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan Camera Obscura - Let's Get Out of This Country Jenny Lewis w/ Watson Twins - Rabbit Fur Coat Beth Orton - Central Reservation Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road |
The Shins - Wincing the Night Away
Had the leaked mp3s since November, but somehow still couldn't wait til I had the actual CD. Great first half, okay second half. Chutes Too Narrow remains their best album by far. |
|
Quote:
Jenny Lewis and The Watson Twins was amazing. Really enjoyed The Creek Drank The Paddle which I just picked up. Not as good as Our Endless Numbered Days but I still enjoyed it. |
Quote:
Congrats on getting these four albums! Yea/Nay on Camera Obscura? You can probably guess why I'm asking. ------------------ Bought today at Amoeba Music (all used): http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...V49035920_.jpg Eleni Mandell - Miracle of Five Its not actually released until February 6, so this is probably a promo or advance copy. Either way I had to grab it because Eleni Mandell is my current favorite female solo artist, and has been for at least the past 5 years. http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...a9fa4010.L.jpg Tralala - Tralala One of the most fun albums of 2005/2006. Listen to: All Fired Up http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...116138712_.jpg A Camp - A Camp Nina Persson from the Cardigans side project. Was the prelude and possibly major factor in the sound that came from the Cardigans following album "Long Gone Before Daylight". I thoroughly enjoyed both of these albums. Note: This is an Import title and only cost $8.00. Buy? YES. http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...116283422_.jpg Ryan Adams - Gold Probably the only Ryan Adams album I can listen to from beginning to end. :eek: http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...123714893_.jpg Conjure One - Extraordinary Ways I haven't decided if I like this album (Rhys Fulber) or Delerium - Nuages du Monde (Rhys Fulber & Bill Leeb) http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/...V64951341_.jpg Nina Gordon - Bleeding Heart Graffiti Because I really liked her album "Tonight and the Rest of My Life" from 2000. And the song of the same title. After she left Veruca Salt. http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/...116703740_.jpg Sixpence None The Richer - Divine Discontent Leigh Nash has a wonderful voice. Anyone remember the rest of the band? Sadly, no. It could have been Leigh Nash & Sixpence None The Richer, or Sixpence Featuring Leigh Nash for all we know. In any case, lovely album. *edit - fixed broken img tag that I didn't notice earlier |
spleen, I think that Conjure One CD was really disappointing. The first one was great though.
The last CD I bought was Front Line Assembly - Artificial Soldier. I was surprised to find it at Best Buy when I was trolling through, looking for a way to blow the $20 gift certificate I got for Christmas. How is it? Well, for FLA, I like Civilization a lot more, but its one of their best efforts anyways. This album plays like a "greatest hits" mashup... a mix of what was good about their old style with some of their new style flavor. Too bad there aren't any brilliant moments. My favorite track is Future Fail, featuring vocals from the Front 242 dude. |

Lewis/Watsons, oddly enough, was my least favorite of the four. Bought it based on the cover of "Handle With Care" and... guess I was just expecting more or something. Plus, those other three satisfied me well. Beth Orton was a nice surprise, like Sarah McLachlan with much better consistency. (She never did top "Building a Mystery", as I see it.) |
Sia - Colour the Small One
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ZZZZZZZ_-1.jpg I heard her song Breathe Me on Sirius Channel 35 (Chill) and I got hooked. I'm also now hooked on that channel, too. I'm currently looking for an artist named Camille because I heard one of her songs called Ta Douleur on Sirius 35, as well. |
Quote:
*Edit - Since only listened to both albums once and only once each I'll have to refrain from making any further comments on either album. *Edit2 - warrrreagl, you just forced me to download Camille's Le Fil album off Soulseek. *Edit3 - Because it is going to combine the posts anyway for double posting - Just bought off Amazon, and should be receiving sometime next week: http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...116181415_.jpg Hot Club of Cowtown - Continental Stomp Live album for the hot jazz/western swing band! Finally talked myself into getting it http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...V54941719_.jpg Beirut - The Gulag Orkestar Gypsyish or something from a guy out some midwest state. Very good, and interesting, listening http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/...V39106518_.jpg Lady Sovereign - Public Warning Because I thought Random, A Little Bit Of Shh and Love Me Or Hate Me were good songs, dammit. http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...V34434660_.jpg Lily Allen - Alright, Still Finally got released in the states this week, huzzah! |
* Edit 4 - because it probably will get merged with the above post of mine
Well this is kind of embarassing for myself. I was organizing my CDs, and I came across my Conjure One - Extraordinary Ways album. That I bought in 2005. So I now have two copies of the album, whoops! I guess it didn't make that much of an impact on me at the time then either since I bought it again as a used CD ($6 so not bank breaking). |
Recently picked up Lupe Fiasco - Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor. Very good album, especially if you're into hip hop that isn't all about the money, cars, and hos.
