Latest Music Purchases

xdreamsunwindx · #1 05-21-2005, 07:22 PM

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!

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

(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.

I think the last two CDs I bought were PJ Harvey's Uh Huh Her and Walter Egan's re-issue of Fundamental Roll/Not Shy. That was over a month ago. I haven't listened to them much (except for "Magnet and Steel" because it's so infectious) because I've spent most of my time listening to Gift of Screws, my Danny Kirwan stuff, and various Stevie demos.

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

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"

You should definitely invest. I think it's a really good album.

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.)

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!

Also, I see everyone's trying to steal you away from me, Hayley. I'm not going to stand for that. I will not be ignored, Hayley. *bunnystew*

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.
