godthedog Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 this seems like a veiled insult to me, implying that the entireity of his collection is a bunch of safe and boring choices.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted January 28, 2005 Report Posted January 28, 2005 Nah, not really. He just has all the music I wish I'd try out but never really do. Can and Kraftwerk in the two or three posts here made me think of that.
B. Brian Brunzell Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 Four of 'em this week so far: Â Â Â Â I also bought KRS-One's Keep Right, but there was no cover at Allmusic.
ArkhamGlobe Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 I have loads of questionable stuff in my collection that I've bought for whatever reason (probably on vinyl, because it had something on it I liked and was dirt cheap).  As for yesterday purchases, I found the following used on vinyl:  Ravel - Le Bolero Dvorak - Symphony from the New World Bruckner - Symphony no. 9 Stravinsky - Orpheus Leonard Cohen - Songs of Leonard Cohen  What did all this go for? 25 swedish crowns, roughly $3.5. I think I made a nice find.
DCMaximo Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 "The Holy Bible-10 Year Anniversary Edition" by the Manics- worth the repurchase for the US mix of the album and the DVD footage of "Faster" on Top Of The Pops  "Bona Drag" by Morrissey  "Tails" by Lisa Loeb and Nine Tails- having watched Reality Bites far too much over the last few weeks, I felt this undefendable urge to buy this album. Also gave me the chance to use up my HMV vouchers, along with the Morrissey album above  "Trout Mask Replica" by Captain Beefheart- found it for £5 and realised I really should own it by now.
5_moves_of_doom Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Â First albums bought in quite some time (a week.) Yey at listening.

Giuseppe Zangara Posted February 2, 2005 Report Posted February 2, 2005 These two arrived in the mail yesterday: Â And my girlfriend bought me this:
godthedog Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 tori amos - scarlet's walk  not as bad as i thought it would be. but certainly nothing terribly special, and it sure as fuck didn't need to be over 74 minutes long. i think she's been going through some kind of mid-life crisis since about 2001 where she takes on these big projects convinced she's doing something really daring and thoughtful, when in reality she's had less and less to say since 'choirgirl'.  the arcade fire - funeral  only listened to it once so far, and it kinda went right through me. i like the lyrics in a big simplistic peter pan/flaming lips kind of way.
godthedog Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 coltrane - my favorite things GZA - liquid swords  as i was walking out of the virgin megastore with my purchases, i saw a bunch of writing on the store doors that said "RZA today 2 p.m." it was a little after 3, apparently i just missed him. evidently i was being punished for getting the GZA instead of the RZA.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 RZA's solo albums aren't very good, so no loss.
tekcop Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 MIsery Index -- Retaliate  I haven't listened to it yet, but I figure I'll enjoy it since I'm a Dying Fetus fan. I downloaded "Great Depression" a few weeks back and thought it was alright. I listened to "Angst Isst Die Seele Auf" on Snake Metal Radio and really liked it so....
Edwin MacPhisto Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 GZA - liquid swords Hey, that's really good. Might be my favorite Wu-Tang solo album.
Henry Spencer Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Supreme Clientele and Only Built 4 Cuban Linx are both better.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 I like them very much, but Liquid Swords has some intangibles going on. I occasionally get a little tired of the Ghostface/Raekwon/Cappadonna team-ups on the other albums, even though they really are awesome.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 I don't ever listen to the solo Wu-Tang stuff anymore. In fact, I rarely listen to rap these days, a problem I attribute to most of what I've heard in the last few years—be it mainstream or underground—being crap.

Edwin MacPhisto Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 Â $10 for the 2-disc Pavement reissue, $8 for the Dolls. Good day.
DCMaximo Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" by My Chemical Romance "Tried And True: The Best Of" by Suzanne Vega
godthedog Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 picked up 'the blueprint' yesterday. i don't know if it was worth 20 bucks, but it's a lot of fun.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 I got Nick Drake's Pink Moon. Been meaning to get a Drake album for awhile; the wait was worth it.
ArkhamGlobe Posted February 14, 2005 Report Posted February 14, 2005 Just ordered these: Â Miles Davis - A Tribute to Jack Johnson Tom Waits - The Heart of Saturday Night Wire - Pink Flag
Nighthawk Posted February 15, 2005 Report Posted February 15, 2005 I got Nick Drake's Pink Moon. Been meaning to get a Drake album for awhile; the wait was worth it. Hey, that's a good one. I like it the best even though it varies in style quite a bit from his other two, which I loved. Â I got the anniversary edition of Nas' Illmatic, LL Cool J's Mama Said Knock You Out and Planet Funk's Non Zero Sumness today. I had MSKYO years ago (might have been the first rap album I ever bought, actually) but lost track of it. It's as good as I remember.
B. Brian Brunzell Posted February 18, 2005 Report Posted February 18, 2005 Â $10 for the 2-disc Pavement reissue, $8 for the Dolls. Good day. Good day indeed. Circuit City has the reissue of the Pavement album, and it's like $20, and Sam Goody charges nearly $30 for it. It's a bit pricy, but I think I'm gonna have to shell out the kale anyway.
