Well, I just pre-ordered Drunkard's Prayer, so that's the last one I've laid down cash for. But I'm bidding on Patience, August and Everything After, and This Desert Life on Ebay. Here's hoping ...

I've like and own both of these CDs. Enter the Worship Circle was so different (read=raw) that I didn't like it at first. Now several of my personal favorite worship songs are from that cd.

Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Nirvana - Unplugged in New York

And of course Drunkard's Prayer..

Patrik

Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News

Cher

of course

i pre-ordered Drunkard's Prayer, This week i will buy Feist - Let It Die

Haven't bought it yet, but I think I need some live Thin Lizzy. I really, really do. Off to eBay!

Back when I bought a lot more music than I seem to now, I gave up buying cds for Lent a couple of years. Good thing I didn't do it this year or I couldn't have preordered Drunkard's Prayer.

Ben Lee - Awake is the New Sleep

Tori Amos - The Beekeeper

Won August and Everything After and This Desert Life for about $8.00 total, including shipping. Also bought The Postal Service's Give Up and Jeff Buckley's Grace yesterday at my local CD store.

DVD's are technically compact discs... so... Southpark Season 5 was my latest purchase...

~fff

Well.

I walked in to Border's yesterday with a list of 4 cd's I would like to own soon. I walked up to the counter with 2 of them. Yay for the new release Tuesday sale thingy. Anyway, I don't buy cd's all that often. Rarely do I buy more than 1 at a time. I hand the cashier the cd's and she says, "We're running a special right now, buy 3 get the 4th free." Ya don't say, I say...

Bought me 4 cd's last night. Shocked myself, I did.

Tina Dico - Far EP
Josh Rouse - Nashville
Tori Amos - The Beekeeper
Thievery Corporation - The Cosmic Game


The Dico EP is good - 3 strong songs out of 6 and only 1 I'm not found at all of at this time. I'm not sure why hearing her MBE performance months ago didn't make me want her EP then, but whatever.

Josh Rouse - Josh, my man, MY MAN! He's topped himself. I love Under Cold Blue Stars, love 1972 and after only 1 full spin of Nashville, I love this one too. He's just bustin' out with the kickace stuff man.

Tori - haven't listened yet. Don't want to take my man Josh out of the truck stereo.

Thievery Corporation - will be put in the stereo and played at very loud volume this weekend while I clean the house. They are rockin' house cleanin' mew-zak.

last CD(s) purchased would have to be the two Jeff Hansen CDs and the Ben Folds Five Whatever and Ever Amen reissue and the new Glen Phillips CD (all on the same Amazon order, all to be shipped to me on March 29th)... I'm not gonna buy the new OtR until the shows that week... that way I know the band gets my money, and I don't have to put up with Paste's tomfoolery*.

the last music I purchased was an iTunes exclusive Ben Folds' cover of a Dr Dre song from The Chronic (yeah, not the best song from The Chronic, but it's from the classic album nonetheless)... the mysogynistic "Bitches Ain't Sh*t." sue me... I'm a Ben Folds and Dr Dre fan who also happens to be a feminist with a sense of humor and/or lapse in judgement.

~fff

*- fool me once, shame on me... fool me twice, shame on... er... i can't get fooled again...

I love Ben Folds too. I really like his live solo album (with a DVD of the concert included). It's got some classic moments.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - No more shall we part

Patrik

The Mendoza Line -- Fortune
Trembling Blue Stars -- broken by whispers
Trembling Blue Stars -- Alive To Every Smile

all used.

Technically, I have a backlog of stuff I ordered from Paste with my Drunkard's Prayer preorder, and a Jars of Clay preorder from another site.

The last album I actually got though was Over the Rhine's Patience.

I pre-ordered Jason Harrod's Bright as You the other day... Both that and Drunkard's are being sent to my mom's house in Illinois....and she'll bring them to me when she visits in May... so...long...coming...

But i can't risk someone actually sending them to me and the package taking 5 months...like my last one.

*edited because I just emerged from a reality where Born was still called "Drunkard's Prayer"....but y'all know what I meant ;-) *

and then

*edited again because I realized that I had been psycho-tricked and that the original reality had been the real one all along*

i'm so confused.

Last three albums purchased or pre-ordered:







I also just received a CD of JT Van Zandt recorded at the Cactus Club in Austin from my pal Kate in Arizona.

the new Yann Tiersen and three No-Man albums to round out my free shipping Amazon order...

~fff

Coldplay - Parachutes
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds- The Boatmans call

Two great discs at a very reasonable price!

Patrik

I suppose it would be the Becker Convisor CPA Review CD.

At not a reasonable price...

~fff

Resurrection - Brian Vander Ark
Are You With Me? - Paul Thorn
Mercury - Long-View
Dressed Up Like Nebraska - Josh Rouse

Skoegahom...

The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute.

I finally caved and bought Jack Johnson's new album, In Between Dreams.

While it's been no Brushfire Fairytales, so far so good. . .

n/m

Sigur Ros - Von

I caved... since Paste didn't get me the Drunkard's Prayer CD in time, I bought it at my local shop this morning... along with the 7" vinyl for Ben Folds' "Landed" and the dualdisc for Nellie McKay's Get Away From Me and the CDs for Jars of Clay Redemption Songs and Low The Great Destroyer...

~fff

Just ordered the new Eisley disc (thanks to the orchard for discussion), Bunky's latest, an ol' Sixpence disc that comes highly recommended, and the latest Tess Wiley cd.

I will now contemplate my growing debt - to the bank, and to society!

Cowboy Junkies' Trinity Session, Jimmy Eat World's self-titled, and the Decemberists' Picaresque.

Haha! Way to represent! What do you think of it?

My latest:

Mazzy Star's Among My Swan
Drunkard's Prayer
Glen Phillips - Winter Pays for Summer
Eisley - Room Noises
Shivaree - Who's Got Trouble
Jason Harrod - Bright As You

Love the first three, haven't listened to the next two, the last one hasn't arrived yet.

Drunkard's Prayer... whenever it gets here.

Arcade Fire- Funeral

LOVE IT.

Kim Taylor:
So Black So Bright

Finally, Drunkard's Prayer.

guero, beck
voodoo, d'angelo

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick seems to be my latest obsession, I'm totally blown away by his work... Any other fans here?

Patrik

I love AB/tLoO. Can't stop listening to it. It's my first Cave album, though. Where should I go to expand my collection?

it's a great records trudes. enjoy.

i have 'let love in' and if i ever get spending money again, ever, i want to find 'no more shall we part'.

(he has a nice little cameo in wim wender's 'wings of desire' / 'der himmel uber berlin')
d

Fantômas - Suspended Animation, Eyvind Kang - Virginal Co Ordinates, and Dälek - Absence...

~fff

my latest purchases are:

She Hangs Brightly -- Mazzy Star

Garden State soundtrack

First Blood Mystery -- Carina Round

Far -- Tina Dico

Haven't received the last three from Amazon yet.

Today I was wishing I'd picked it up Thursday or Friday, and started looking for it online. Then I realized I can get it this weekend & not have to pay for shipping.

How are you liking this one, Pop?

I bought the Shins' Oh, Inverted World yesterday to give myself some indie cred. (And also because I liked the two songs from this album on the Garden State soundtrack.) It hasn't changed my life yet, but I'm pretty hung up on Drunkard's Prayer and The Trinity Session right now. Maybe in time.

Is Trinity your first Junkies experience? If so, it's a great place to start.

It is. Black Eyed Man is still in the used section of the local CD shop, but I've already been a little extravagant with my music purchases this month (i.e., I am running out of room on my CD racks), so I'm going to hold off on buying that one for now. There aren't too many people in my town who even know who the Junkies are, so there's a good chance it'll be there a couple months from now.

Wow. Trinity is where I started, back in 1989. That recording is amazing when you consider it was recorded in 24 hours for about $250. That's also the only CD with oldest sibling, John Timmins. He sings backup on Misguided Angel. John is scheduled to tour with them this summer, first time since Trinity! It would be very cool if you can catch them.

Where would I find Junkies tour dates?

Drat, no Quebec dates... though there's a shot in hell I can make it to WestFest. Sweet!
