Wow, Zayne! A tip o' the hat ~ great shopping day in Nashville!

I got my "Discover Cashback bonus card" for Borders Books & Music yesterday. I think I'm gonna buy the new Explosions in the Sky and the new Do Make Say Think (thanks, Brookd).

got these 2 new ones released today


winterpills- the light divides


Dean and Britta- Back Numbers

clap your hands say yeah - some loud thunder

Yo Posty,

You should definitely get the EITS double album. Its really good.

I'd try the new Eluvium album as well. So, so good.

Posty - Let me know what you think of the DMST if you got it (I'm rather doubtful that Borders will have it. I got my DMST collection from one of those cool record stores in Ann Arbor).
did you catch the show at all?

By EITS double album you mean the double vinyl? It appears all of the CDs are single CDs...

DMST was ordered via Borders.com (ie- Amazon). We'll see. The DMST show with Holy Fuck isn't until April 1st in Columbus.

~fff

woohoo... new EP from Holy Fuck... with some sort of gold foil, die-cut liner...

01 Lovely Allen
02 The Pulse
03 Choppers
04 Safari
05 They're Going To Take My Thumbs
06 Frenchy's

if you like bands of the post-rock ilk (Mogwai, Euphone, Explosions in the Sky, and I assume Do Make Say Think (with whom Holy Fuck are currently touring)), then you very well might like Holy Fuck.

~fff - np: medeski martin & wood - live at bonnaroo 2004 -ep-

Magical Mystery Tour. Someday I might have a complete Beatles set. By that point, I'm sure CDs will be obsolete and hard to find.

got this one today, with Sufjan Stevens and Denison Witmer among others helping out.

just picked up these 5 minutes ago:

Eleni Mandell - Miracle of Five
Grant-Lee Phillips - Virginia Creeper
Mindy Smith - One Moment More

Ive never heard of any of these 3 people... lets see if I hit musical paydirt with any of them... :-)

Well, the rumor is still going that they're going to be remastered and re-released sometime this year. I've been slowly trading all my old Beatles discs on lala under the assumption this is going to happen. Remastered Beatles discs would be a "I'm gonna stop eating for a month to buy this" purchase.

Received Mary-Chapin Carpenter's The Calling and the innocence mission's we walked in song from amazon, on Tuesday (we walked in song's release date). Both are excellent, as usual.

I love when things like this happen. The other night in chat I was wishing I had some of my older Sarah music on CD. Bill was kind enough to send me her cover of Tom Waits' "Ol' 55" I previously had on my Freedom Sessions cassette. Yesterday, I had a few minutes to stop in Borders where they have Fumbling Towards Ecstasy for only ten bucks.

The Byrds - Sweetheart Of the Rodeo
The International Submarine Band - Safe At Home
Return Of the Grievous Angel, Gram Parsons Tribute - replacement copy

Lying Awake - Ellery

and it kept me company on the ride home last night, and is on my myspace profile, and in my head.

Amy Winehouse - Back To Black

And it's freaking awesome!
I went to her myspace on Friday for gits&shiggles cause I'd read about her here and there and could not believe the voice and the sound. Loved it so much on 3 songs I went to Border's at lunch that day and bought it. Totally digable.

i bought this @ the CST show this weekend and am really enjoying it.

it was excellently produced by none other than mr. ric hordinski

and i think fans of OtR & kim taylor* will recognize the band playing w/justin & tasha on this one;
ric hordinski-electric guitars, loops, keys, percussion, stuff
amos heller-bass
josh seurkamp-drums


The new Ellery release, "Lying Awake" is now available in fine retail stores nationwide! You can also find Ellery's music online at Amazon/Borders, iTunes, AwareStore, and more!

and you can have a listen HERE.


*ric, amos & josh, along w/kim were known as "the kim taylor band" for a short time

Dude, I wanted that so bad. But I'm a good daughter and I got my dad a t-shirt instead.

that is a good daughter. i guess you'll just have to buy one @ the 20th century shows next month.

i ordered the live one that's coming out in a few weeks too, i can't wait to hear it.

exactly!
i'll get one then.
hahaha.

Man, y'all didn't pay attention to all the pimping I did of their music and concerts last year at all...

~fff

excellent, excellent record.

jorma is brilliant as usual and byron did a great job playing and producing.

Introducing Joss Stone

saw her on Letterman last night. she was soulfully yummy

Nina Nastasia's On Leaving. This will definitely find a place among my favorite albums of 2006.

what a slick cover- that alone makes me want to give a listen.

picked up these 2 today





plus got the Ellery CD and ordered their new to be released live album, both at CST.
and while in Cincy got a copy of Snow Angels for my daughter, and for myself got this-

she's got that old school groove... def soulfully yummy

Picked up these two at Laser's Edge Compact Discs in Birmingham, today:

Blackjack David - Dave Alvin (1998) I started listening to Dave Alvin, a couple years ago, and really dig him a lot. If you're an "Americana (whatever that is?)" fan and have never heard Dave Alvin, you really should. This is the last of his back catalog that I've been looking for and Laser's Edge had a new copy of it.

Armchair Apocrypha - Andrew Bird (just released) I realize that at least some folks saw Andrew Bird open for OtR, two years ago, and weren't too impressed with him, but we were really knocked out by his creativity and innovative arrangements. Well, for those of you who fell into the former category, give his new cd a try. It's got all the hallmarks of The Mysterious Production of Eggs, but it's considerably more accessible and it rocks!

What do you think of this, kent? I've heard a few songs and liked them, but I understand it's pretty brief. Comments?

This isn't exactly a "latest CD purchase" but rather a "latest CD I finally opened".
I offer this little anecdote mostly for Posty's and Yojimbo's amusement:

about 5 years ago I dove into the deep end of classical music (my latest discovery and fixation at the time), buying probably a hundred CDs or so within a 6-month period, many from a historic and much-loved classical music store that was going under (Harmony House Classical on Woodward) having a going under sale. needless to say (for those of you who know me), a good chunk of those CDs remained in shrinkwrap on my shelves for years. I listened to many, and came to an almost immediate love of classical music at the time and the years since, but of course classical takes some serious listening dedication, so it's taken me longer to work through my classical selection than it would to get through, say, some pop purchases.

so, anyway, yesterday I open my Mahler Duo CD of Symphony #9 (by Haitink), 5 years after I bought it, 4 years after the store I bought it from had closed it's doors for good, pulled the shrinkwrap right off, struggled a bit to break open the sticky seal at the top without cracking the case, and when I finally get inside... no CD! I stood there holding the case in my hand for a minute just staring at the empty tray trying to process what I was seeing. I even rubbed the white plastic it was supposed to be on just to somehow make sure it wasn't really there. all this time I thought I owned Mahler's 9th symphony and it was waiting there on my shelf for just the right moment to grab me, and when that moment came, it turned out to be an illusion. The second CD was there, underneath (which somehow strikes me as the harder of the 2 CDs to get in the case - if they could get that tricky bugger in there, surely the main cd shouldn't be a problem), but that ain't symphony #9, that's just classical singing, and I'm still not sure I'm ready for that yet. got so irritated it almost made me want to open every single one of my shrinkwrapped CDs just to make sure I owned everything I thought I owned (but I resisted that urge of momentary insanity)...

You'd think this would be a more common occurance actually, but after having opened over 3,000 CDs in my life thus far, I do believe this is the first MIA I've experienced. and I have only once come upon the wrong CD in the case.

fortunately I was able to find the same recording at the library last night, and so I simply "rectified the situation" with the help of my computer...

Ha!

I've had an MIA once before... but never on one that I waited to open for 5 years...

That's sooo funny Brook. I've never had that happen, but once I got a double CD that had 2 of the first discs in it.
Now get busy and get those other shrink wrapped ones opened, will ya!
Especially if you're on a 5-year backlog.

Jenny Whiteley- Dear

got this in the mail today. she's from canada.
a mix of folk/country/bluegrass.

it's a very short album. its standard Rosie fare, so if you like her previous work you will like this one.
Sufjan Stevens and Denison Witmer help her out an appear on this album, and there are a couple fo songs
where you can hear Sufjans influence. a quiet album, good for late night, or a day like today, gray and rainy.

Rosie Thomas: I see there is a cover of "The One I Love' on that... (REM)...

Sounds groovy. I'm going to give that one a spin.

While technically these shouldn't be included for three reasons that go against the thread's subject... here are some albums that I 1) downloaded, 2) for free (legally) 3) 2-3 weeks ago.

Explosions in the Sky - The Rescue -EP- (~33 mins)


Very similar to other EitS albums... moving, dark, ambient post-rock brilliance... like a more subdued Mogwai, perhaps.

http://www.myspace.com/explosionsintheskyband

Inlets - Vestibule -EP- (~31 mins)


Inlets are a band I stumbled on at Tonic NYC when I was out there for work. It's multi-instrumentalist Sebatian Krueger who played on the upcoming My Brightest Diamond record (A Thousand Shark's Teeth). His sound is not unlike that of Sufjan Stevens... horns, strings, toy piano, banjo in spots, and a nice falsetto.

Good stuff... for free. You can't beat that with a stick... unless you happen to have a stick and start beating your iPod with it.

But that'd be dumb.

~fff

the frames - the cost

the innocence mission - we walked in song

arcade fire - neon bible

over the rhine - till we have faces

norah jones - not too late

just picked up...dont know much about any of them...ive only heard clips...

Xavier Rudd - Food In The Belly
(I am *really* digging the song 'Messages' on this disk. Its so fun I cant stand it. :-) )


Eliot Morris - Whats Mine is Yours


Rosie Thomas - If Songs Could Be Held

Couldn't find a Vinyl Thread, so I posted this here...... If one exists, let me know!


This place I played at Thursday is called the Modern Exchange. It sells vintage clothing and other stuff including old vinyl. I'd been wanting to pick some up, so, here goes....


Donovan - The Hurdy Gurdy Man (1968... in great, playable condition)


Rolling Stones - Some Girls (one of the recalled versions with Lucille Ball on it... how cool!)


Burl Ives - Burl Ives (this one is from the 60's and in rough shape, but I'm hoping I can save it. I spent countless hours listening to this man and his music as a kid)


Duane Allman - The Best of Duane Allman (cool cover shot of Duane and a pic of him fishing on the back, I'd never see this LP before, but it's got some great stuff on it)


The Eagles - Hotel California (to replace my lost LP... this one is mint, complete with the original poster that was included)


Bob Dylan - Slow Train Coming (released August 1979, great lp in great condition)


The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night (American Release, June 1964)


Best part? Got it all for $30.

This album rocks my socks off! Wish I'd bought it a couple of years ago when SubdivisionRuler Steve told me to.

Went to the newer thrift shop yesterday, and bought 2 CD's for the lst time, as their CD's are generally children's software and not much else. I got:

Jonatha Brooke - Live - $2.95
Tori Amos - Under the Pink - $2.95


I also got a scrubs set (shirt and pants, wine color) which is an outfit for work for me, the cost of the set - $2.95

When I got to the checkout, I put the CD's on the counter and then picked up the scrubs set on its hanger, and I saw that underneith it was a crisp $20 bill folded in half. It must have fallen out of the pocket! So, I wound up, after sales tax, with 2 CD's worth of new music for me and a work outfit, plus $11.75.

I think I should go shopping with you in Annapolis, Carolyn!

i get the feeling neil digging through his archives is going to be expensive for me.

this is some pretty amazing stuff...

buy me some big money lotto tix, please, Carolyn

I picked this up finally after ignoring it for some time. I have to say, it does nothing for me. A Disappointment considering I absolutely LOVE Graceland and Rhythm of the Saints...




my first listen to Catie Curtis...not bad so far...

If I do and if you win, we still have to take Keith CD shopping in Annapolis....ha!

got this in the mail today
