Latest Music Purchases
 

These threads pop up every now & then, but I haven't seen one in a while.

What are your latest music purchases?

I just got a *ton* of CDs. I got The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground and Nico, Joy Division - Still, Siouxsie & the Banshees - Superstition, Sonic Youth - Goo, and I just got a part-time job at Get Hip records, so one of the perks of my job is getting free CDs. I got the Mainliners - Bring on the Sweetlife, The Highschool Sweethearts - Heels 'N Wheels, and The Paybacks - Knock Loud. All of those CDs are great, but I highly suggest you check out The Mainliners (who are PHENOMENAL live) and The Paybacks. Because mmm, garage rock.

So. Yeah. Tell me about your latest purchases because I have no life and am a postwhore tonight!

In the past few weeks, I've gotten Anna Nalick's debut (<3 Hayley), Jack Johnson's latest, Allison Moorer's "The Duel" and just today I bought Bruce Springsteen's "Devils & Dust."

George Harrison-Brainwashed
Picaresque - The Decemberists
Straight Talk - Dolly Parton (the Soundtrack)
Rites of Passage - Indigo Girls
Maroon 5 - Songs about Jane

Yesterday...
 

I purchased the following discs:

Queen-Greatest Hits 3 (The UK Parlophone edition)

Jaime O'Neal-Brave (Great female country music that most on here at the Ledge would really like)

Deep Purple-Nobody's Perfect

Joe Nichols-Revelation

Bruce Springsteen-The Rising

Bruce Springsteen-The Ghost of Tom Joad

W.A.S.P.-The Neon God:Part 2-The Demise

U2-The Unforgettable Fire (I needed a replacement disc)

Blake Shelton-Blake shelton's Bar & Grill

Blue Murder-Nothin' But Trouble (Great hard rock!!!)

Def Leppard-Rock of Ages-The Definitive Collection

So these discs have been getting played along with Bruce Springsteen's "Devils & Dust" & James Labrie's "Elements of Persuasion" as the newer discs added to my collection.

Already waiting for June 7th to purchase the new Dream Theater "Octavarium" disc.

I'm obsessed over Breathe (2am). How is the rest of the album?? I think i'm going to have to invest :nod: (PS - HAYLEY IS THE GREATEST)!*@!)

The last album? Amerie - Touch. Guess what, kids? The song One Thing is the single for a reason. The rest of the album? Not nearly as good as that song.

Try...
 

having my music collection, I have to figure out the time to listen to both my bootleg collection and my officially released collection...Takes a math degree to figure the time out sometimes, But I listen to music about 98% of the time anyways :lol:

I haven't really gotten any new ones recently, but the ones I have gotten this year which I'm still hooked on are:

Joss Stone, "Mind, Body & Soul"

Kelly Clarkson, "Breakaway"

U2, "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb"

Lee :)

You should definitely invest. I think it's a really good album. :nod: All of the songs are so damn catchy. Along with Breathe, I can't stop playing "Wreck of the Day" and "Forever Love (Digame)." Get it -- you'll like it.

(And Hayley? is totally my hero.)

Hot. I think I may do just that :nod: Thanks for the reccomendation!!

(Hayley is so awexsome, they should create a character on Alias for her where she'll get to have Sark's babies :nod: )

Nine Inch Nails- With Teeth
Def Leppard- Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection
Judas Priest- Angel of Retribution
Exodus- Tempo of the Damned
Jag Panzer- Casting the Stones
King Diamond- The Puppet Master

Haven't bought much lately, but just picked up Hole's Live Through This for one cent off eBay!

Just downloaded the Mistaken Love reels from someone's site... and am addicted. Who's site is that?? Whoever it is, I bow down to you and thank you profusely!! :nod:

I officially deem this thread the greatest thread ever. In the history of the world! I am so down with that, provided I actually get to participate in the actual procreation... not some creepy stolen eggs/spawn of Rambaldi-esque thing. Rowwr. Riss, I'll try and track you down an Anna Nalick if you want one.

Kate, it's hilarious you started this thread, because I just bought a ridiculous amount of CDs tonight at work with my discount at work:

Feist- Let It Die
The Futureheads- The Futureheads
Belle and Sebastian- If You're Feeling Sinister (replacement disc)
Kaiser Chiefs- Employment
Portishead- Portishead (replacement disc)
Phoenix- LIVE! Thirty Days Ago
Pernice Brothers- Australia Tour EP 2002

Also received promos on Friday for the new Hot Hot Heat- Elevator, New Order- Waiting for the Sirens' Call, and The OC Mix #4. I totally have never watched The OC in my entire life, but I always LOVE their soundtracks. This one's inspired me to pull out the Pinback and Reindeer Section records. YAY!

I toldja it would grow on you. Just listen to me. All the time. When I say jump, jump. When I say cry, cry. When I say drown in a pool of oblivion, Emo Boy! you'd best dive in... Emo Boy.

<3

Dontcha love...
 

the bonus DVD that came with The Puppet Master? Seeing King in full face makeup telling the story of the Puppet Master is hella eerie but cool as f**k :nod:

:takes a bow:

Not me...
 

but Hayley is cool in my books even though our musical tastes are very different.

Ya rock Hayley :thumbsup:

Aww, thanks, Brian. This thread really IS awesome. ;) :woohoo:

You're right - thank you! Does she post here? If so, I thank you, too. You made my day.

Does anyone know if there are any other versions of Mistaken Love out there besides the ones on her site? I could listen to it in any incarnation - all day, everyday, and never get tired of it.

:woohoo:

Ho****! Even GOD speaks Wootean! Now some people are REALLY going to feel left out.

Woot! :shocked: :wavey:

Love that one.

Just got: Chicken Shack - OK Ken? from Amazon today!

Most recent music purchase: Rob Thomas - Something to Be (Great album. Too bad the dual disc doesn't have the music vid for "Lonely No More," 'cause Rob's lookin' pretty yummy in that black outfit. :nod: but, you know, that's just my opinion.)

I'm not that big on today's music (to put it kindly) and there hasn't been anything new from the older artists that I like in awhile, though Walter Egan's re-release of Hi-Fi and The Last Stroll is due out at the end of this month, so I'll pick that up. There've been a few copies of it already on ebay, but I prefer to buy straight from the source.

Hoping Tom Petty's tour is coinciding with a cd release, but haven't heard anything. Managed to score 8th row tickets to Sleep Train on August 24th though. After encountering ridiculous prices on ticketmaster and tickets.com got a pretty good deal on ebay of all places. :shrug: Usually tix go for way too much there.

The studio half of that is fantastic, the live half is so-so and only there for documentary purposes etc. If you want a good JD live album, try Les Bains Douches.

Recently:

The Smiths: Rank
Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band: Lick My Decals Off, Baby
Talk Talk: The Party's Over
Shawn Philips: Bright White
Momus: Monsters Of Love - Singles 1985-90
Elvis Costello: King Of America

All on vinyl. "Faces of glass, all hung in the past.."

She does post sometimes. Her name is Sara and I believe her username is SaraRhiannon. I haven't talked to her much but she seems really cool and I must say that I love her name! :nod:

I'll be buying the new Backstreet Boys Album when it comes out. :o


Here's my most recent purchase:

Fleetwood Mac: Fleetwood Mac (collection complete!)

FREAK :p :p :p :p

http://www.thebackstreetboys.com/index_main.html

Check out the snippets. This CD will be the shiz. :nod:

the latest cds i have bought is

Bloc Party- Silent Alarms (freaking brillaint)
Tilly and The Wall- Wild Like Children(amazing)
The Faint- Awesome, And such

I also really really want the new Black Eyed Peas album.

It's excellent. :thumbsup:

Oh, and King is the only one who is allowed to wear the full face makeup. Screw Kiss. The greedy crotch pheasants.

Amen...
 

I listen to King Diamond on a near daily basis (Wore the living hell outta of the "Abigail" disc) whereas I havent listened to Piss, I meant Kiss in awhile

New Garbage
New Lisa Marie Presley

I like em both, but as sure as hell didn't BUY them.
Promo city :blob1:

I told you the new Garbage was fabulous. ;) Metal Heart especially.

The only new albums I've gotten in the past couple of weeks are "The Forgotten Arm" from Aimee Mann and "You're Speaking My Language" from Juliette and the Licks. Both are fab. I got Bowie's Live album from '75 that they reissued, too, it just sucks that it's kind of...bad.

I go months and years without buying anything. Okay, maybe not years, but my track record has only been like, 2-3 CD's a year....which is why I haven't responded in this thread until now... :D :wavey: I'm suprised people spend so much on music, too. I didn't hardly buy any CD's even when I had money. I'm much more of a "shopping thread" type of person... :laugh: I get bored of clothes quickly, but not music...I guess I buy books instead.

See, I buy all my CDs used. Most of my cds, of which there are almost 200, I got at the CD exchange. What's funny is, I've listened to them all. But, certain discs get more play than others. The Paybacks - Knock Loud and Patti Smith - Horses haven't been out of my CD player for a long minute.

I can't remember the last CD I bought. I'm much more of a DVD addict. :nod:
