So when & what was your last CD/album purchase?

[mvd]

I just got Sufjan Stevens's Illinois today from amazon.com. It is marvelous! Some fans have said it's jazzier than usual, but to me it sounded like a folk album - just neo-folk. Some moments are traditional and beautiful - like on the the non-rocky parts of "Man of Metropolis Steals Our Hearts." Sure to be in my top albums of 2005, whether I do a 10 or 20-album list. Leaning towards 20 since there are many albums out there and I decide to buy a small fraction. Some albums just hit you as being like classics, like Bonnie McKee and a few others did last year.

And I bought it on Saturday. I've been trying to locate this album for a long fucking time. I also picked up Isis - Oceanic Remixes and Reinterperatations and the Isis - Mosquito Control EP while I was at it.

6. hmmmm...the new Ben Folds Album

but I haven't listened to it yet

[Tyrone Slothrop]

7. Mine was Illinois too

Absolutely love it. It's my favorite that's come out so far this year.

And I have tickets to see him later this fall. I cannot wait!

The last one before that was "Hex Enduction Hour" by The Fall, I think.

8. I bought the new White Stripes album...

and I wish I hadn't.

[mvd]

9. Personally, I love it

It's not one that will appeal to all fans, though.

[Placebo]

12. Some people love it, some people hate it...

I'm in the latter camp. :)

If I wanted to hear quasi-retro piano rock, I know artists who do it a lot better than the thin-sounding White Stripes.

[mvd]

14. I think it shows how versatile the White Stripes are

Different strokes for different folks.

10. Placebo's "Sleeping With Ghosts"

[Placebo]

Proud fanatic here. :)

[sakabatou]

23. The Spirited Away Soundtrack by Joe Hisaishi

[GOPisEvil]

24. Son Volt - Okemah and the Melody of Riot.

It's very good. Very Son Volt. I'm excited to see them in concert in September.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

27. great band

haven't heard the new one yet.

Saw Jay Farrar on the Sebastapol tour, good show.

[gmoney]

25. "Out of State Plates" - Fountains of Wayne

Double album of rarities and outtakes and oddballs... terrifically fun power pop.

Bender sez: Rocks my shiny metal ass!

[Redneck Socialist]

26. Adrienne Young and Little Sadie, The Art of Virtue

I picked it up on the way back from work tonight. As a matter of fact I'm listening to it right now.

If you like Americana/Alt Country/Bluegrass you will probably like it. It is better than her last album IMO. She does a killer cover of Brokedown Palace that is worth the price of the CD alone.

28. Animal Collective- Here comes the Indian
