~fafs

Elephunk - Black Eyed Peas
The Girl in the Other Room -Diana Krall
MAS -Nickel Creek

(how's that for crazy and strange variety)

p.s. i LOVE that CD!
(espec. the "blessed to be a witness" track)

I gotta know... is it worth getting? I'm pretty sure I've got all the B-Sides on there in mp3 form, but I'll probably end up getting it anyway.



My last were:

The Drive-By Truckers- The Dirty South
Broken Social Scene- Bee Hives
Broken Social Scene- Feel Good Lost
Kings of Convenience- Riot on an Empty Street
Over the Rhine- Eve
Sara Groves- Past the Wishing

yeah, it's worth it to have 'em all on one CD...

the cover art for this release sucks ass, though. talk about being as dumb as the pope at a truck rally -- this it IT...

~fafs

Over the Rhine -- Changes Come

i wonder if there are any fans on this list.....

I love me some Ben Harper! I need to buy more of his stuff. All i have is Live from Mars. Which CD's should i go for? Or maybe i should ask if there are any of his that i shouldn't go for?

Oh, and my latest CD purchases were the Serendipity soundtrack, The Best of Etta James (soultry!) and a smokey little mix of jazz instrumental classics.

A Perfect Circle - eMotive (Virgin/EMI): Superb version of John Lennon's "Imagine" and a public domain song "When the Levee Breaks" is so un-APC/Tool, but it's so beautiful... great CD! The DVD comes out in 2 weeks, too...

King's X - Live All Over the Place (2CD; Metal Blade): 20 years making music, and this is their first official live release. Great collection of songs, and a great acoustic set as well... the acoustic version of "Over My Head," as the bonus track, is stupendous.

Team America: World Police - Official Soundtrack (Atlantic): Trey Parker and Matt Stone put the "larious" in "hilarious." While the movie fell short for me, this CD was a must buy. "America, F-ck Yeah" and "Freedom Isn't Free" are the highlights for me. Too bad the US populace actually seems to vote based on mindless flag-weaving and a fear of questioning authority...

Travis - Singles (Epic/Independiete): Only one new track ("Walking In the Sun"), but overall it's good to have a "greatest hits" collection out of this fantastic Scottish band. It's like a greatest hits CD without the pretentiousness of calling it Greatest Hits or We Rocked You SO Hard, Vol 1.

what are your thoughts regarding this final album?

i've ordered a copy, but of course, living in canada sure slows down the shipping time..... *sigh*

eh... Sixpence are an alright band. It is good to have some of their side-project stuff on one CD, but in the general scheme of things the only Sixpence CD that really measures up to brilliance is This Beautiful Mess. The rest are great, but not spectacular.

IMO.

~fff

i totally agree.

besides, IMHO, i thought that the final album should've also been titled This Beautiful Mess. not only does it describe some of the things that 6p had to go through in getting the albums out, and all of the christian/secular debates etc, it is just a great title.

once i receive the CD in the mail, i'll only be short like 2 6p songs ever released.

at least i still have OTR.

Last friday I spluged and bought "Il Sogno" by Elvis Costello, and also found "The Coution horses" by Cowboy Junkies for 3.95

Damien Rice - 'O'

Sarah McLachlan - 'Afterglow'

Twelve Tribes "The Rebirth of Tragedy" A local Dayton Band.

King's X - Live All Over the Place
Rolling Stones - Live Licks
Aimee Mann - Live at St. Ann's Warehouse (packaged w/DVD)

I guess it was a good week for live albums.

OH! And also Al Franken - The O'Franken Factor Factor
Starflyer 59 - The Last Laurel EP
Thompson Twins - Into the Gap 2CD reissue

God, I spend too much money on music

Good News For People Who Love Bad News -- Modest Mouse
Garden State soundtrack
partial purchase of a TMBG compilation for my brother's birthday
and a couple of Christmas gifts which I shant identify here. (Living off of peanut butter for a month never killed anybody... so long as they remained gainfully employed. Thank you, Mommy, for the 2-kg jar.)

Joseph Artuhur's new cd. And if you don't have his previous releases, what the heck are you doing?!! Go now to your local record emporium and pick it up.

Go! Spend more spendable income.

elton john, peacthree road.

Sarah Masen The Dreamlife of Angels

Eleni Mandell - Wishbone

Eleni Mandell - Maybe, Yes

Victory At Sea - Memories Fade

Alright, then. How about this one? Worth getting? I was disappointed with North and decided I'd get his back catalog before getting either of this year's releases, but I could change my mind.


My latest:

Ted Leo + The Pharmacists- Shake the Sheets
Hem- Eveningland
Autolux- Future Perfect
Feist- Let It Die

and while it's not so much a purchase, it is excellent:

Patty Griffin- Silver Bell


All are excellent, except I haven't received Feist in the mail yet.

bjork - post

Common - 'Electric Circus'
Norah Jones - 'Come Away With Me'

both on VINYL

Too, too many new ones lately. But the very newest is Neko Case's new live one "The Tigers Have Spoken." Can't give an opinion, because it haasn't even been opened yet, but I hope to listen to it at work today.

Enough said.

mark harmon and mike roe - fun with sound

Dido's No Angel-for one dollar at the library's book store. one dollar!

Awesome.

Couldn't really get into the whole album but "Here With Me" is an amazingly beautiful song.

agreed. actually i'm listening to it right now (oooooh-i guess there's a separate thread for that)

Ooooh... How is this one, Zayne? I haven't ordered my copy yet and haven't heard much about it so I don't really know what to expect.

i love it! think i'm addicted to it!

That's good to know!

How does it compare to other Roe/77's/7&7is material?

I just got Wainwright's Want Two for my roommate's birthday present. Nobody tell her!

Green Day's American Idiot. I adore "Boulevard of Broken Dreams."

I could list the CDs I bought on my most recent shopping spree, but that would be embarrassing. Instead, I'll try to look cool and say I bought Zero 7's When it Falls yesterday, and it is good.

Before Sunset Soundtrack and the 6ths.

Starflyer 59 - I Am The Portuguese Blues

Lenny Kravitz Greatest Hits, an impulse buy, $9.99 at Target. I did not think I had ever heard a song by him I did not like; I still do not think so.

I have that one, too. *hides*

U2 UK single for "Vertigo"

and I got to hold the Nirvana box set... it's shiny.

oh, shiny,
~fff

I just won an auction for Mortal's Wake today on eBay.

Mannheim Steamroller's Celebration

... but I'm not gonna listen to it 'til after Thanksgiving!
