The Carissa's Wierd CDs were a delayed Christmas gift (silly customs), and the 60s compilation was a gift from my parents, but the rest came from my sister's disc-weeding. We will shortly be posting a list of our combined discarded discs on one of our LiveJournals, with each disc free for the asking. Well, we're also asking for postage money (Lisa says "$5 USD"), but it's not like we're charging $10 PLUS postage. I'll link to it as soon as she's done eliminating.

ray lamontagne - trouble (pe-release $2)

whoa... I haven't even heard of this CD of theirs... hmm... *jealous*

All for under $30! Yes.

Yeah, well, I'm still waiting, seeing as it would cost me $30 JUST for that ONE disc. One day....

You're welcome, Dan!

Good Lord, why? I know the Canadian gov't taxes pretty much everything up the yin-yang, but dang. $30/CD is just ludicrous.

He's not top 40, therefore only one store has his disc, and they suck. Hmmph. HMV may bite my ass.

I love HMV online... but mainly due to the canadian exchange rate. sorry. i think i got holly mcnarland and chantal kreviazuk's latest ones for, like, $11 (including shipping)...

Innocence Mission -- Befriended
The Cure -- Disintegration
Elton John -- Tumbleweed Connection
Alison Krauss & Union Station -- Live
Rostropovich -- Bach Cello Suites
Buena Vista Social Club
Beth Orton -- Pass in Time
Jefferson Airplane -- After Bathing at Baxter's
The Best of Randy Newman
The Ultimate Otis Redding
Roy Orbison's Greatest Hits

This is why I usually buy from Amazon.

np: Bach's Cello Suite #5 in C minor (somber music to do your taxes by)

Social Distortion - Sex, Love, and Rock 'n Roll (their newest offering)
Sade - Lovers Rock
Sade - The Best of
Opeth - Orchid

Looks like I forgot to mention Knuckle Down by Ani Difranco a few weeks back. I wasn't deeply absorbed by Evolve, and I can't think of a single track from Educated Guess which might make it onto a Best of Ani mix disc. Knuckle Down ends her string of duds. I am very pleased with this latest album.

Loretta Lynn's Van Lear Rose. The one produced and arranged by Jack White. Very, VERY good.

i got the 5 browns Cd...it is a CD full of classical music performed by the Brown family who all attended Juillard at the same time. They included music from West Side Story by Bernstein, the flight of the bumblebee, and music from peer gynt.

I really like it.

Drunkard's Prayer by a precious band called Over the Rhine

(thanks for the info michelle)

Cowboy Junkies - Lay it Down
Soulfly - Self-Titled

From Amazon:

Rachael Yamagata - Happenstance
Sam Roberts - We Were Born in a Flame
Modest Mouse - Good News for People Who Like Bad News
Tift Merritt - Tambourine
Wheat - Per Second, Per Second, Per Second... Every Second
The Walkmen - Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me is Gone

Blue Merle - new - digging it.

Innocence Mission, self-titled - used - not digging it.


I went in to the used cd store looking for Cure's Disentigration and Innocence Mission's Befriended (thanks again, Dennis) and they had IM's self-titled. The cute dude helping me says, "you can listen to it first at the stereo if you like..?" me: "naw, i've heard several songs of theirs that i've dug and i'm feeling daring." Bad idea. Wasn't feeling it. Didn't like it. I'm thinking that if I had heard this when it first came out ('89) I may have gotten into it and it would have stuck with me over the years - but popping it in the stereo yesterday was just, eh.

So, if anyone wants a free, used copy of Innocence Mission's 1989 self-titled cd, message me with your addy. It's yours. Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, or something.

I found that most of IM's cds, especially thier older ones, are ones that I have to listen to for a while before I really dig them.
Just my opinion.

It's weird, Dr.'s appt's., waiting in checkout lines, slow traffic, stuff like that I'm practically a master in patience. Music on the other hand, if something, sometimes the littlest thing doesn't grab me in some sort of way - patience non-existant. So, opinion appreciated Grand Slam A-Bomb, but I'm pretty darn positive it's gonna be a no-go, the offer's still out.
