What's the last CD you bought?

[mvd]

Mine was Jimmy Eat World's Chase This Light. It's not their best, but just good Jimmy Eat World is still very enjoyable.

I won't be buying more for a while. I'm saving these for Christmas gifts:

Bruce Springsteen's Magic
Vanessa Carlton's Heroes & Thieves
Lucy Walsh's Lost In The Lights (now THIS is good dance music, and there's more to her - the beautiful "Lullabye" is kind of like a Nina Gordon ballad. I wish Hilary Duff, Britney, and Lindsay would move over for her!)
Kyle Lardner - Lost In The Lights
Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer - Schematics (short CD, but it's such a pop/rock gem that I want the physical CD)
Cindy Alexander - Wobble With The World

I'll buy more, like the Wussy, Debbie Harry, and Jacqueline Rose CDs, with Christmas money. I doubt the Bree Sharp and Kay Hanley CDs will be out this year.

[Parche]

12. radiohead?

I love to get h..d when listening to the radio...................:shrug: :hi:
:rofl:

[mvd]

4. I paid 3.50 pounds - around $8.00 total

I feel that's fair for a download CD. I would second her recommendation of it. :hi:

[MrCoffee]

5. as soon as my DSL straightens out, i plan on getting it...i was thinking 10 USD

[redqueen]

7. I'm eventually going to get it after it's released

for the video extras and extra tracks.

:bounce:

[NightWatcher]

6. I love it. I paid 4eu for it too

[bbernardini]

8. Last CD I bought, or last CD that was delivered?

I often pre-order albums, so the last CD I bought and the last one I actually got are probably different.

[mvd]

10. Pre-orders count

I always include them in topics like these.

[ghostsofgiants]

9. I decided to finally pick up Against Me!'s album yesterday so i could check out the dvd

Good stuff.

Also picked up Cougar Party, The Satans, Beaumont Hamel and Swords' most recent releases.

16. Only one of those I've heard of is the Radiohead one

And I like it a lot.

[mvd]

18. I'm more liberal with 5 stars than most pro. critics are

The only thing that kept the Radiohead from a 5 is the first song.

[Burma Jones]

22. Super Taranta is most definitely a 5 outta 5

That is one fine fine CD.

[Initech]

26. I don't know what "gypsy punk" is exactly, but I like it!

:thumbsup:

[Lautremont]

14. I recently bought Challengers by The New Pornographers.

[mvd]

[bbernardini]

17. Mine (actually, last several):

Looking at my records (no pun intended), the last CD I bought was Porcupine Tree's "Nil Recurring" EP.

Other recent purchases (some received, some not):

Trout Fishing In America - Who Knows What We Might Do EP (ordered, but received the wrong disc; waiting for the right one) - Best children's music ever. http://www.troutmusic.com

Mieka Pauley - Elijah Drop Your Gun - singer/songwriter out of Boston. Reminds me of Joss Stone, but I heard of Mieka long before I heard of Joss Stone. Songs are better, too. http://www.mieka.com

Genesis - Philadelphia, 9/18/07 - The official soundboard recording of the Genesis concert I attended. And I like the songs from "Invisible Touch," so piss off, haters. :)

Negativland - A Big 10-8 Place/No Other Possibility DVD - I already had this, but it came with the DVD as a bonus.

Negativland - Our Favorite Things DVD/Bonus Audio CD I forget the name of. - A compilation of various Negativland video experiments. Hooray for the four Floptops! http://www.negativland.com

Steven Wilson/Dirk Serries - Continuum II - The guy from Porcupine Tree and some other guy do their ambient thing.

Christopher DeLaurenti - Favorite Intermissions - Mr. DeLaurenti secretly recorded orchestras warming up during intermissions and released his favorite recordings. He's now transcribing some of them for chamber ensemble.

Mike Keneally - hat. and Boil That Dust Speck remasters with bonus DVDs - Keneally was the stunt guitarist in Frank Zappa's last touring band. He's also played with Steve Vai and is currently one of the guitarists in the touring version of Dethklok. :) He's also put out a series of amazing and varied solo albums, from progressive rock to power pop to acoustic to orchestral, and just about everything in between. Possibly the next Frank Zappa. http://www.keneally.com

21. Today, I bought Dominic Frasca's Deviations

He's a guitarist that plays percussive style, ala Stanley Jordan, on an acoustic guitar. It's sorta reminiscent of Steve Reich or Philip Glass
