What were your last 5 music purchases?

[mvd]

You can include downloads - any music you paid for. Mine are:

1) Miranda Lambert - Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (album)
2) Finn's Motel - Escape Velocity (album)
3) Switchblade Kittens - The Weird Sisters (album)
4) The Nightwatchman - One Man Revolution (album)
5) Kate Voegele - Don't Look Away (album - pre-ordered)

The first four are very highly recommended, and I'm sure I will absolutely love the last one! The Switchblade Kittens CD offers a little bonus for Harry Potter fans. The sound on the SK CD is power pop/new wave that really fits my taste!

3. I haven't bought very many CDs lately because of Coachella

Tickets and all the other shit at the show was pretty expensive (plus I bought a RATM shirt and a Roots shirt).

The last two CDs I bought are the new Porcupine Tree and Arctic Monkeys albums.

[mvd]

4. The Nightwatchman is Tom Morello, from RATM

I like his Dylan/Guthrie mixed with Springsteen sound on this album. With a more quiet sound, his politically charged lyrics really are powerful.

How's that Porcupine Tree CD?

[Initech]

5. New PT is pretty good

I think Deadwing and In Absentia are better, though.

I missed the Nightwatchman because I was passed out. I need to get that CD.

Cancer Bats' "Birthing The Giant"

[Mr. Blonde]

17. here you go

1. Icky Thump by The White Stripes (single)
2. Favourite Worst Nightmare by Arctic Monkeys
3. Love the Cup by Sons and Daughters
4. Because of the Times by Kings of Leon (going to see them next week totally awesome)
5. Radio Moscow by Radio Moscow

Icky Thump is incredible, can't wait for the full album if this is an accurate taste. Favourite Worst Nightmare is also very good but a little less catchy than their debut. Love the Cup is ok, I bought it because I heard them on Weeds. Because of the Times is the best KOL yet. Radio Moscow is a good debut for them, I can definitely tell they are produced by Dan Auerbach. As they get better at songwriting they will get better, but probably won't hit the mainstream which is unfortunate.

[BlueIris]

37. Here's mine

Son Volt --Trace

43. Here are my last five

My CD purchases have increased a bit lately as I'm currently living in Austin and have access to thousands of used CDs! I'm trying to keep it under control, though. haha

My last five purchases are:

1) Wings- Wild Life (re-issue w/ bonus tracks): The first McCartney album he recorded with Wings, and it's got a raw and occasionally sloppy (well, sloppy by Paul McCartney standards, that is...) vibe to it that I really enjoy. His response to John after their back-and-forth attacks on each other in song, "Dear Friend" is a great song, and "Some People Never Know" and "Tomorrow" are two awesome pop songs. I think that this may be Paul's most underrated album.

2) The Who- Who's Next (re-issue w/ bonus tracks): I've been wanting to pick up this CD for a long time and finally did. About half of the album is well-known so there isn't a whole lot I could add, but it's got "Baba O'Riley", "Bargain", "Won't Get Fooled Again", and "Behind Blue Eyes" and is probably my favorite Who album.

3) Expose- Greatest Hits: Yeah, this one will stick out like a sore thumb in my CD collection, as eighties-era dance-pop isn't something I listen to all that much! But I've liked "Point of No Return" and "Seasons Change" since I was a little kid and one day when I couldn't get "Point of No Return" out of my head all day at work I decided to go for it. Although I figure admitting to owning this CD will destroy any notion that I have "good" taste in music that wasn't already destroyed by admitting to liking Uriah Heep and Styx!

4) Oasis- Heathen Chemistry: (Oh yeah... trying to get an Oasis flamewar going! haha) Well, my Oasis collection until recently consisted of only What's the Story Morning Glory but I've liked the song "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" for a while, so thought I'd check out another album by Oasis. I like this one a lot already, and think it will continue to grow on me. I know some people won't even consider these guys' music because they think they're a Beatles rip-off but I say if you're gonna "rip-off" any band the Beatles are the best choice. And these songs are too good to be considered rip-offs...

5) King Crimson- In the Court of the Crimson King: One of my favorite "prog-rock" albums ever. "I Talk to the Wind" is one that manages to change my mood every time I hear it, and "Epitaph" has some great lyrics. I like "Moonchild" a lot as well, although I don't get into _all_ of that extended quiet, instrumental noodling part that takes up much of the song! And "21st Century Schizoid Man" and the title track are the album's best known tracks and with good reason.

Alright, I just ended up rambling way too much about my last five music purchases but oh well... where else could y'all read a paragraph about the greatness of Expose's Greatest Hits?! haha

[no name no slogan]

44. 1) Jon Doe -- Forever Hasn't Happened Yet

2) The Rockingbirds - Whatever Happened to...
3) The International Submarine Band - Safe at Home
4) Mekons - Honky Tonkin'
5) Pentangle - Early Classics

Extra bonus (because it's so damn good):
6) Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood


The above five are my last eMusic downloads. I've purchased some CD recently too, but those are mostly backfill of LPs/Cassettes that needed "upgrading".

Been hitting the folk/country/Americana thing heavily lately for some reason. Must be the time of year.
