Just today:

Dream Theater: Octavarium

On saturday I FINALLY got David Gilmour - About Face I never thought I'd find it but there it was in CD Exchange for $5.99 in perfect condition :). I fuckin love San Antonio. My dad found Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny which we haven't been able to find anywhere also. I'd never heard it or any Judas Priest album for that matter. After I heard it though, I'm stealing it from him :D. My mom got 38 Special Tour De Force and Phil Collins - But Seriously which I'm stealing from her as well :D. Good tunes they are yes!

if I could just get News Of The World that'd be freakin great!!

Asta!!

Going on 4 spins in a row, and getting better each time

I also picked up Dream Theater-Octavarium today

bgivnin, what are your thoughts on it?

postal service - give up.

if you like death cab for cutie, get the postal service.
serious.
there are some sweet break up songs on it.

k-wise - how is that iron & wine ep? i loooove the creek drank the cradle, one of my favs. didn't like endless numbered days quite as much, but i do like the 2nd half of the album very much.

I don't buy cds anymore, but I do manage to always get them from... somewhere. ;)

The Postal Service - Give Up... definitely one of my new favorites right now.

Mates of State - Team Boo (if you like indie and want something a little ummm weird... in a good way)

Anna Nalick - Wreck of the Day. Finally a female singer with some skill.

Jem- Finally Woken. She's freakin' amazing. (If you enjoy pop/techno... with a bit more singing added.)

Elvis Costello - Imperial Bedroom
Bjork - Debut

Coldplay -- really disappointed

Ethel.

SO very unique and cultured and they were on tour with Todd Rundgren & the very talented Mr. Joe Jackson recently. They are now on their way to Europe and best wishes to them all....Not for the unaware or the untrained ear.

Team Sleep (self titled)
Nine Inch Nails
The Music

Modest mouse, Bloc Party, Shins, interpol, DeathCab Ect....

Just a few of the latest,

BBB

Coldplay's new X&Y Album is simply incredible. Lately, I've also gotten into Keane.

The Red Chord - Clients

Not bad, but not great either. Considering my recent purchases, I don't know how much play this CD will get in the near future.

Deep Down and Soul'd Out by Mimi Kesaris
Nude Dimensions Vol.1 - Naked Music
Going to back to find the soul in my House...

With Teeth - Nine Inch Nails
Lost and Found - Mudvayne

If I can get my fuckin' Best Buy Reward Zone things to work, I'll be getting the new Coldplay and White Stripes, possibly Foo Fighters.

Gorillaz - demon days -- fucking awesome besides the 1st 3 songs.

I don't buy cd's much, but a couple weeks ago I bought Led Zeppelin's doubl disc set of "The Early and the Latter Days"

I hear ya! I finally bought When It Falls last week and must admit that you're right; it's nothing compared to their first album. When It Falls strikes me as a melancholy and drowsy whereas Simple Things is much more positive with a great beat and catchy songs. I don't regret buying it though, it's a great album which I'm gonna continue enjoy listening to :)

jwoody send me a PM once you've purchased Simple Things - I'm curious whether or not you'll agree on this.

I like it but not as much as I like other material I've heard from them. Woman King is the first thing I've purchased by them but I've heard other stuff on soundtracks and what not so I'm looking into buying some more.

Woman King I enjoy when listening but have to be in a certain mood to enjoy fully. They're great musicians and make great music but I didn't immediately connect with any of the songs like I've done with other songs of theirs I've heard. You know just as soon as I hear it I'm like "Oh I really like that!" However when I purchased it I had also just gotten other albums from other artists.

You know how that can be. I haven't really taken the time to sit down and absorb it. For all I know if I did it would really grow on me. I'll be sure and do that now and see. If my opinion changes any I'll let you know.

Asta!!

I don't by a lot of CDs anymore either (not that I ever bought a lot but I bet I don't buy 6 a year anymore) however I recently bought two.

Dave Matthews Band - Stand Up - a real departure for the band. There is really something on this CD for just about everyone and I listen to it once or twice a day, everyday.

Matchbox Twenty - Mad Season - had the first one and been meaning to buy more. Got around to it because I went to buy the DMB listed above and these guys were the last thing I heard getting out of the car at the store.

Ummmm......why post in this thread then? Not to be trolling or anything just confused.

My latest are
The Postal Service- Give Up (Amazing cd)
The Gorillaz-Demon Days (Has some really awesome tracks)
The Weakerthans- Reconstruction Site (Good Canadian Indie music)
Jeff Buckley- Grace (RIP:()

My most recent cd that I had purchased was:
System of a Down - Mezmerize (Some good tracks on it, some funny ones too)

Oasis -- Don't believe The Truth

SOAD -- Mezmerize

Dave Matthews Band -- Stand Up

Z-Trip -- Shifting Gears

Audioslave -- Out of Exile

Next up this week are the new Static-X and Foo Fighters albums.

The last time I picked up a cd was in Berlin, I was looking through the rock section and came across Jimi Hendrix: Blues. Although a bit suspicious of what the compilation would contain, I bought and listened to it, and it was amazing! It definately shows the influence blues had for him, and how well he could play it. It has some original Hendrix (such as an even blusier version of Red House) as well as covers (Born Under a Bad Sign).
A definate must have for Hendrix fans.

Just got the Coldplay and White Stripes discs. Haven't listened to either the whole way through yet

Aesop Rock - Bazooka Tooth
The Streets - Original Pirate Material
The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free

I have no idea how I haven't owned these before now. All fantastic!

Coldplay - X&Y
Phantoms - Acceptance
Foo Fighters - In Your Honor
Ciara - Goodies
Sting - MSFL Nothing like the Sun
Metallica - MSFL Master of Puppets

All of 'em are good so i'm happy

I received a fat cheque yesterday and decided to blow some of the money on:

The Doors - The Doors
Queen - A Kind Of Magic (The old one was getting worn out)
Hoover - A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular (I've been wanting this since 1998!)

the new foo fighters double disc -- decent, nothing that drives me crazy.

The Flaming Lips - Fight Test EP
Bjork - Post
Bjork - Medulla

Vader - Revelations

This album reeks of classicicity.

Circa Survive - "Juturna" (blows my mind away, highly recommended)
Coldplay - "X&Y" (beautiful music)
Weezer - "Make Believe" (meh.)

Adema - Planets
Audioslave - Out Of Exile
Foo Fighters - In Your Honor
Static-X - Start A War

Abd there is 3 others but can't remember right now!

Most Recent Purchase: Simple Things - Zero7.

I like it a lot. I'm not sure whether it is better or worse than 'When It Falls', though 'Destiny' is definitely their best song from both albums.

I'm happy to have both in my collection. I've just played both albums randomly through Media Player and I can't really say there's a lot of difference in quality between the two.

Finally bought copies of some stuff I've has as mp3 for ages:

Travis - The Man Who
Coldplay - Parachutes
Keane - Hopes and fears

and I also purchased the new Coldplay, X & Y

Ying Yang Twins - United States of Atlanta

I decided to buy all kinds of not-similar music yesterday.

Saul Williams - Saul Williams
Rainbow - Rainbow Rising
Ted Nugent - The Ultimate Ted Nugent
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
Led Zeppelin - IV (ZOSO)
Death - The Sound of Perseverance
Dream Theater - Octavarium
Fantomas - Suspended Animation

... and I call myself a "metal-head". :rolleyes:

jack johnson-In Between Dreams
Best of G Love and Special Sauce
afro celt sound system-vol I
'Garden State' soundtrack
eminem, whatever the heck the newest one is...

all in the same year. but i don't buy a lot of my more mainstream interests... ;)

John Scofield's Ray Charles Tribute album. Slightly Disappointing yet still very good.
