B. Brian Brunzell Posted July 4, 2004 Report Posted July 4, 2004 Four of 'em this week: Jeff Buckley- Live at Sin-e The Cure-The Cure The Velvet Underground and Nico Jay-Z- Reasonable Doubt
DCMaximo Posted July 6, 2004 Report Posted July 6, 2004 Just bought "Hollywood Potato Chip" by the Vandals and, since it was only £3, "Nu-Clear Sounds" by Ash.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted July 6, 2004 Report Posted July 6, 2004 Frank Zappa-Waka/Jawaka adding to the expanding collection.. and a re-buy: Mr. Bungle-Mr. Bungle. One of my very favorite cds ever that needed replaced immediately after misfortune occurred to my original copy.
Guest BeefMan5000 Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 Vintersorg - Cosmic Genesis Bathory - Twilight of the Gods Borknagar - Borknagar Cradle of Filth - The Principle of Evil Made Flesh Ulver - Bergtatt Ulver - Kveldssanger Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses WWF WrestleMania- The Album
PLAGIARISM! Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 YMO - Naughty Boys They kinda fizzled out, but Solid State Survivor remains absolutely essential, (someone please listen to me)and Technodelic is pretty good.
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 Two of Iggy's grittiest recordings. Poorly recorded, but ear splintering. Violent, vicious. Especially the Detroit Studio Outtakes. The concert is much more palpable. Bowie's keyboards are an interested addition to the old Stooges classics.
Hank Kingsley Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 Don't know why I didn't pick this up earlier.
DCMaximo Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 Plus: "Racecar Is Racecar Backwards" by Reuben "Hold On To Your Loved Ones" by Wheatus "How Soon Is Now: A Tribute To The Smiths", which features Hundred Reasons, Cursive, Garrison, thisGirl and Walter from Rival Schools, amongst others. Been on a spending binge recently- the advantage of having a well-paying job near to a very cheap CD shop
Guest macheteofodin Posted July 9, 2004 Report Posted July 9, 2004 Sam Black Church - For We Are Many... The Best of Sam Black Church
B. Brian Brunzell Posted July 9, 2004 Report Posted July 9, 2004 Waddaya think of the new Local H, Maximo? I quite like it, especially "Halcyom Days" and "California Songs."
snuffbox Posted July 10, 2004 Report Posted July 10, 2004 Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain The Who - 20th Century Masters Toadies - Rubberneckin Phish - Undermind Live - Throwing Copper New Radicals - Maybe Youve Been Brainwashed Too
spiny norman Posted July 10, 2004 Report Posted July 10, 2004 On the one weekend, huge sale: The Beatles - Revolver Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde Frank Sinatra - In The Wee Small Hours The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground And Nico
Guest Anticrombie Posted July 11, 2004 Report Posted July 11, 2004 I'm thinking of buying Janes' live debut album and/or Kettle Whistle, but I'm not sold on the idea as I'm not sure if either one is worth it based on reviews.
DCMaximo Posted July 11, 2004 Report Posted July 11, 2004 Waddaya think of the new Local H, Maximo? I quite like it, especially "Halcyom Days" and "California Songs." I really like it, especially as I only picked it up on impulse, with "California Songs" and "Everyone Lives" being my personal highlights.
Guest The Notorious CRD Posted July 12, 2004 Report Posted July 12, 2004 Lenny Kravitz - Baptism Velvet Revolver - Contraband
PLAGIARISM! Posted July 12, 2004 Report Posted July 12, 2004 Nick Cave - From Her To Eternity - About as OK as everyone says it is David Bowie - Low - Not the best album of the 70s. The Wedding Present - George Best - Quite good, but obviously no Seamonsters Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures - Easily the best pickup, least of all because it was £3.
DCMaximo Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 "The Union Of Souls" by 3 Colours Red "Black Love" by the Afghan Whigs "Plastic Fang" by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion "More Than You Think You Are" by Matchbox Twenty All pretty good, with the 3CR album being the standout, but I REALLY need to cut down on the CD's I'm buying at the moment, although three of these albums only cost £5 each.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 "Black Love" by the Afghan Whigs REALLY FUCKING GREAT ALBUM ALERT Was just listening to this again this afternoon. The opening salvo of tracks is incredible, and "Faded" is the best closing track they've ever done. Which is saying a lot. I'm on a big Whigs kick of late, this album especially.
Guest Anticrombie Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 That's cool I'm picking up Iron Maiden, Killers, and Number Of The Beast today.
Guest FrigidSoul Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Number of the Beast was released on the day I was born.
justsoyouknow Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 The Beta Band - From Heroes to Zeros The Beta Band - The Beta Band The Von Bondies - Pawnshoppe Heart The Killers - Hot Fuss Eagles of Death Metal - Peace, Love, Death Metal From Hereos to Zeros is a decent outing for the Beta Band, but it seems that the band is relying too much on formula for the album, aping from their previous albums, namely The Three EPs. But, all in all, From Heroes to Zeros is without a shadow of a doubt their best album since The Three EPs. I bought the S/T Beta Band just so I could have their entire back catalogue (my CD collection was stolen a few months back...someone broke into my car the one night I left my CD books in there, made off with my stereo, my change tray, and 250 CDs.) Pawnshoppe Heart is much better than it has any right to be. After showing up late to the garage-rock mainstream and following a public brawl with Jack White, The Von Bondies made a very solid CD. Hot Fuss by The Killers is dance-rock. As pleased as I am that the synthesizer has made it's way back into mainstream music, this CD was a bit of a letdown, as the songs came off sounding too poppy for my liking. Run out to the store and buy Peace, Love, Death Metal as soon as you get the chance. Josh Homme's side project (yeah, another side project)'s debut CD plays awesome tongue-in-cheek music, featuring such great songs as "Whorehoppin", "Speaking in Tongues", "Who Loves the Devil?" and an outstanding cover of "Stuck in the Middle With You". All in all, the only CD that really was a disappointment to me was The Killers. If you're going to buy the CD on the strength of "Somebody Told Me", you're going to be let down by the remainder of the disc.
Guest Anticrombie Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 Number of the Beast was released on the day I was born. Do you ever use that to explain odd things that may happen in your life?
PLAGIARISM! Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 Low update: The second half isn't as bad as I initially thought, but still strangely irritating.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 The second half of Low is better than the second half of Heroes, by the by.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 Also, I'll say that the first half of Low is better than the first half of Heroes. In London I picked up Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt and, finally, Pulp's Different Class. And just the other day I grabbed the remaster of Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die. All excellent, but The Blueprint is still the best thing Jay-Z's done. No more albums for the rest of July. The first week of August brings the annual CD spree, wherein whoever among my friends spends the least is labeled Giant Stupid Pussy.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 But the title track to Heroes is better than anything on Low.
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 Beach Boys - Surfs Up on vinyl...6 clams.
