What is the last CD you bought?

[mvd]

I got 3 at the same time in an amazon.com order:

The Faders - Plug In & Play (I found the import for a lower price at cduniverse.com. One of the best of 2005, or any year for that matter - it's that good. I got it too late to put on my 2005 best-of list, but the U.S. release will be on my 2006 list.)

Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins - Rabbit Fur Coat (this is great Patsy Cline-tinged alt-country. And "Handle With Care" is more than a collaboaration - it's an event!

Cat Power - The Greatest (as I said before, this is also terrific. Sounds very real, and not a forced attempt.)

Before that, I got No Will Power by Kat Parsons - loved it, and wish it wasn't so short. Still waiting for my cdbaby.com order from Mandi Perkins.

9. Get Behind Me Satan - The White Stripes

Are their earlier albums worth a listen? Just wondering...

[GOPisEvil]

It's pretty entertaining. :)

I know you'll ask the name, and to be honest, I don't know. I have to look it up. The CD is out in my car. :P

Edit - I have "Elephant" :)

[djeseru]

17. Hmmm...

...sounds like something I'll have to borrow. Between your yard, Threadgill's and this CD, the deck is becoming stacked in your favor... :P

[GOPisEvil]

18. Borrow? Heck, I can burn you a copy.

Don't forget your company. I'm a winner all around! ;)

[Initech]

12. "White Blood Cells" is worth buying!

[djeseru]

15. Cool, I just saw it last weekend too...

...I'll hafta go back by there and pick it up. Thanks for the recommendation!

[Initech]

36. I need to get the other two White Stripes albums

I have Get Behind Me Satan and White Blood Cells, I need to get the self-titled album and De Stijl.

[GOPisEvil]

10. The Long Winters, "Ultimatum". It's an EP.

I didn't buy it for me though. It was a gift. :)

[Gold Metal Flake]

13. Kyuss, Welcome To Sky Valley

Not new, but brilliant.

[Throd]

34. I recently replaced the"Wretch" CD

[Gormy Cuss]

23. Some people ain't human

Heh!

[Ptah]

25. Yes!

SOME HUMANS AIN'T HUMAN

Have you ever noticed
When you're feeling really good
There's always a pigeon
That'll come shit on your hood

Or you're feeling your freedom
And the world's off your back
Some cowboy from Texas
Starts his own war in Iraq

Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind
They lie through their teeth
With their head up their behind
You open up their hearts
And here's what you'll find
Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind


MORNING TRAIN

I saw you
All dolled up
Singing a song in your pickup truck
You put me on a morning train
You put me on a morning train
Ain't no need to explain
You put me on a morning train

[Calliope]

20. A remastered cd of the original cast recording

of the Fantasticks. (Jerry Orbach makes me cry when he sings Try to Remember)

[CBHagman]

21. I got that last year.

What a great album! I grew up on the LP, of course.

The last CDs I got were Blood on the Tracks and the 30th anniversary edition of Born to Run. (Yeah, I'm a boomer.)

[no name no slogan]

22. Ojos De Brujo: "Vengue"

Ojos are a flamenco/rumba/hip-hop/funk/rock fusion from Barcelona, España. Very interesting stuff. Think Gipsy Kings meets Public Enemy.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

24. The Finger (Ryan Adams and Jesse Malin) - "We Are Fuck You"

Technically the last album I bought was Robin Williams "Live at the Met", but I don't think comedy counts.

[RevolutionaryActs]

26. INXS - The best of

Before that it was Franz Ferdinand - You could have it so much better.

[XOKCowboy]

27. Jerry Jeff Walker - Viva Terlingua

Jerry Jeff's one of my favorites and hadn't heard it in years.

[2bfree]

30. I love JJW!

I had Viva Terlingua as a young teen. Have you seen him in person? We've seen him and Gary P. Nunn a zillion times! :)

[XOKCowboy]

40. Sure have!!

He'd always come through Tulsa once or twice a year and was always fun to go see. He's quite a character.

[bigwillq]

28. Madonna

Confessions on a Dance Floor. It's great! :bounce:

[Rabrrrrrr]

29. A couple Eric Whitacre discs, and a new release of Steve Reich's

Desert Music and Tehillim.

[tuvor]

31. The Devo Live 1980 DualDisc.

More for the DVD than the CD, though.

It's spudboy nirvana.

[momophile]

32. The Roots nt

[Throd]

33. "Ever Feel Like Killing Your Boss?"

By The Feederz

[DanCa]

35. Stephan Smith Slash and Burn

www.stephansmith.com

[Clintmax]

37. The "Brokeback Mountain" Soundtrack.

I freakin LOVE the thing!

[terrya]

I very much liked the music in it.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

Curtis Mayfield - Superfly
John Coltrane and Milt Jackson - Bags and Trane
Miles Davis - Tribute to Jack Johnson
Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
Johnny Cash - Murder
Nirvana - Bleach
Patton Oswalt - Feeling Kinda Patton
Marc Maron - Tickets Still Available

[Fox Mulder]

41. Buy? CD?

No thanks. I'd rather get my music for free. :)

I mean...nothing to see here...move along...

[Craig Leonard]

42. What is the last CD you bought?

Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans (and before that Illinois)

[av8rdave]

43. My Morning Jacket....Z

n/t

[Ally McLesbian]

44. Wreck of the Day by Anna Nalick

I don't buy CDs anymore really, because of iTunes and iPod... but if I decide that an ENTIRE album is good enough, then I'll have a hard copy on CD.

Anna Nalick is great - and only 10 minutes from where I am.

[mvd]

56. As I said before, great CD!

One of my faves of 2005. Generally soft music, but never boring.

Next, I want to get the new CD from Rosanne Cash. Black Cadillac ranks among her best. Her previous CD, Rules Of Travel, sounds like a routine Rosanne album compared to this one.

Everyone have a good weekend!

[wake.up.america]

45. The latest from Dr. John

[GalleryGod]

46. Protective Veil

[tjwmason]

47. The Complete Organ Works of Jehan Alain

Double C.D. - quite a while ago now.

I bought a bunch of stuff on a music download site yesterday - they had an offer commemorating Mozart's anniversary today.

[donheld]

48. Mary J Blige

The Breakthrough

[LynneSin]

49. I just bought a bunch today - yikes I spent too much money

I put an order in BMG (But 1 get the rest 50% off that includes

Honeydrippers: Volume #1 (I have in on Vinyl but want it on CD)
Coldplay: Parachutes
Radiohead: Hail to the Thief
Soundgarden: A-sides
Radiohead: Amnesiac
Nine Inch Nails: And all That could have been
Pearl Jam: Rearview Greatest Hits

Now that should be enough for one day but a friend wanted to stop by Kmart to pick up some stuff and I ended up buying five more :cry:

White Stripes: Elephant
White Stripes: White Blood Cell
Dave Matthews Band: Stand Up
U2: Achtung Baby
Barry Manilow: Ultimate Manilow

I need to stop buying CDs - UGH!

[GalleryGod]

50. At this Point In Time...

I believe you have a "Purchase Problem", Lynne.

[LynneSin]

51. At least I have good taste...

...although I'm not getting why I need to buy that Barry Manilow CD

[meegbear]

52. MC5 Kick out the Jams/New York Dolls/ Ziggy Stardust/ Best of the Kinks

Needed the last one to cleanse the palette.

[last_texas_dem]

53. Golden Smog- Weird Tales

These guys are (were?) a sort of country-folk-rock-ish (I'm avoiding the term "alt-country", even though that's what they're usually called, 'cause I've always found it odd) "supergroup" whose album I decided to check out b/c the members are from several groups I like, including Soul Asylum and the Jayhawks. It's a pretty good album, with a diversity of sounds from song to song due to the alternating lead vocalists and changing instrumentation. This album is from '98 and I'm not sure what these guys have been up to since; this was sort of an impulse purchase.

[Ariana Celeste]

54. Was either Nirvana- Nevermind or

NIN- Withuh_Teethuh

:)

[Maine Mary]

55. The 10th Coffee Cafee Anniversary (MPBN)

2 years ago... i don't get out much but I still love it! My daughter introdouced it to her beau's divorcing parents and they love it too. If there could ever be a good, amicable split it's those folks. They are amazing and inspirational.

But anyway... that's the last I've bought. My daughter supplies me w/the rest of her good stuff (I only borrow them of course) :-)

[DawgHouse]

57. Green Day, American Idiot.

I don't buy many CD's. I normally just download (and pay for!) songs that I like.
