I agree Dustin....

Congrats. What a solid album.

Johnny Cash - The Legend of Johnny Cash

Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway


(thanksdenniskeith&bruce!)

Madonna - Confessions on a Dance Floor

After months and months of searching used CD bins , I found :
Jay Farrar-Terroir Blues
Explosions in the Sky-"The Earth is not a cold dead place"
The Clifford Brown Big Band in Paris
The Clifford Brown Quartet in Paris

A cornucopia of musical goodness from the used CD vaults in Richmond:
Miles Davis-Volume One
Miles Davis-Volume Two
Sun Ra-We Travel The Space Ways/Bad And The Beautiful
Dizzy Gillespie-Gillespiana/Carnegie Hall Concert
Mission of Burma-Signals, Calls, and Marches


You know you have been going to the music store too much when the Information/Reference guy grins at you, taps his finger on his arm vein and says "Come back for another fix?" To which I replied "Music is the drug." Now if I'd only been able to sing falsetto "Music is the drug that will set me free". Bonus points for anyone that can identify that musical reference/paraphrase.

J'ai juste acheté cette réédition merveilleuse de l'étiquette française Naïve...


Il contient la nouvelle chanson merveilleuse appelée le "Cuba." Je suis heureux que les boutons sur l'Amazon français soient dans les mêmes endroits que sur l'Amazon régulier. J'ai également acheté quelques dégagements récents de Yann Tiersen tandis que je faisais des emplettes sur l'Amazon.com français.

Deux oiseaux. Une pierre.

311 Don't Tread on Me

ohhhhh, i gotta get this.

The Darkest Night of the Year from some obscure band.

Bulldog - Bulldog

No! What a thing to say
You just said no!

The Smiths - Meat is Murder

The titletrack is bloody difficult to listen to unless you agree with its message, but its a great album.

Mew - And the Glass Handed Kites

I'm not really sure what to make of this one. It has really nice melodies but it is so prog (not only the album title then) its occasionally a bit too much for me. I mean they throw in a 4/4 bar occasionally just to make it more interesting...

Patrik

bought it saturday night at "magnolia thunderpussy".

nice stuff.

I like those Official Bonnaroo Live thingies... I bought the FLAC'd Iron & Wine one and it came with nicely designed full jewel-case liners in PDF...

~fff

On sale at the gargantuan Virgin Records store at Disney. Hope I like it...

Audioslave Live from Cuba DVD/CD. Not too impressed with the CD portion.

Kathleen Madigan (from a 1996 show)

I've been on a comedy kick for the past several months. First saw her on Comedy Central years ago. She gives great laughs.

got a gift card from mom & dad. hello ear x-tacy!!!!


ryan adams - "29"
first listen. wow. this may be the best of his three (yes, three) releases this year.


allman brothers band - live from american university 12/13/70
the original line-up w/duane. again. wow.


can't wait to watch this.

thanks moms and pops.

Calla - Collisions

today i got:

spoon, gimme fiction
and
eels, blinking lights and other revelations

Gotta love those Barnes & Noble gift cards!

actually it's a dvd, not a cd.

it had been so long since i had seen this. man, it was a great show...harrison, dylan, clapton, leon russell and billy preston managed to steal the show w/"that's the way god planned it".

the "mother" of all benefit shows to follow.

The White Stripes - Walking with a Ghost EP
Of Montreal - Satanic Panic in the Attic

This seems odd to me... I mean, the WS are covering a song that was released in its original form last year... I mean, I dig Tegan & Sara, but are they songwriting giants of our time? hmmph...

How is it?

~fff

i bought coheed and cambria -- i now own all three of their cds.

For daughter #1: Led Zeppelin Early Days/Latter Days; Pink Floyd Atom Heart Mother
For daughter #2: Beatles White Album; Bob Dylan No Direction Home, the Soundtrack; John Lennon Legend

My girls have such incredibly stellar taste in music...

Loney, Dear - Sologne
Loney, Dear - Citadel Band
Loney, Dear - The Year of River Fontana


Patrik

posty:



It didn't knock my socks off. But I like the White Stripes quite a bit, I like that song (I've not heard anything else from Tegan & Sara), and since it's an EP it was cheap. The rest of the tracks are live performances (mostly from Get Behind Me Satan).

The review at Pitchfork sums up the EP pretty well and I love this line: "Produced with an impulsive haste that is fast becoming one of the duo's hallmarks, this genial cover sounds singularly unpersuasive, a performance unlikely to challenge anyone's previously held opinions about the Stripes, Tegan and Sara, walking, or ghosts."

Iron & Wine with Calexico EP

Angélique Kidjo - Oremi
Rachael Yamagata - Happenstance
Souad Massi - Raoui
Sigur Rós - ( )
The Decembrists - Picaresque
Trashcan Sinatras - Weightlifting
The Bulgarian State Radio and Television Female Vocal Choir - Le Mystère Des Voix Bulgares

~fff

I bought two albums shortly before Christmas. Plumb's self-titled and the Until the End of the World soundtrack were both dirt cheap.

Candycoatedwaterdrops rawks!

Maybe, but I got the self-titled. From what I've heard about her later material, the cool trip-hop influences are completely missing on her later material. I like the few later songs I've heard from her, but they're not on the same level as the stuff on her first album.

Amos Lee, self-titled. Best $13 I've spent in a long, long time. I caught him on Austin City Limits back in Nov. He was the back half of the John Prine installment. Very nice sound. The full-length CD can be had at Starbucks for $13.

Cher

A Prairie Home Companion's New Years Eve show.

oops, wrong thread!

The Decemberists -- Picaresque
Belle & Sebastian -- Lazy Line Painter Jane
Coldplay -- Brothers And Sisters
Flogging Molly -- Drunken Lullabies
The Prayers & Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers -- Psalterie
Sufjan Stevens -- Greetings from Michigan: The Great Lakes State
Sufjan Stevens -- Swan Songs
Nickel Creek -- Why Should the Fire Die?

i've been busy, what can i say?

The Prayer Chain's "Mercury".

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Ocean Colour Scene - One from the Modern. Got it very cheap. Harmless pop fun

Portishead - Portishead. The difficult second album. But the woman can sing.

Patrik

Todd Barry - Medium Energy

For being monotone, the dude cracks me up.

"I was watching Cribs on MTV, they were at the house of the lead singer of Third Eye Blind... they follow him into a room where he picks up one of his guitars and says, "This is my favorite guitar. With this guitar, the songs write themselves.."
Sure, blame the guitar..."

:: snort ::

I bought The Who Sell Out and The Byrd's Younger Than Yesterday from iTunes Saturday in an undisciplined fit of nostalgia.

North Atlantic Drift is even better. Highly reccomended.

Spoon - Gimmie Fiction
Drive-By Truckers - Decoration Day

Oooh, how is Decoration Day?

Me, I just picked up Ryan Adams' 29, even as I am still trying to digest Jacksonville City Nights. Damn that kid can write a tune...

i got two $30 gift certificates for amazon for my birthday yesterday, and they are already spent. i bought the following music:

- feist, let it die
- ryan adams, 29*
- sufjan stevens, illinois
- sigur ros, takk...


can't wait to get it!

from itunes, i downloaded kanye west's late registration (and the song "easy" by the commodores...)




*cuz i turned 29

Sigur Rós -- Takk...
iMOGEN HEAP -- Speak for Yourself

both are amazing. beautiful. simply beautiful.
