I'm going to break for a while before more. I'm very happy with my purchases!

[Bennyboy]

1. Exactly ZERO.

I love live music and can get that online. Any show any time.

[mvd]

2. That's cool - we're total opposites here

I buy a lot but probably won't have another big spree until the end of the year.

[Fire Walk With Me]

3. Wow, that's a big list. Sounds like you're in for fun...

All of the local record stores have folded in my area. It's been way too long since I've gone record hunting (although I am very happy with my large LP and CD collections). Thankfully there is an Amoeba Records within reach... I can never get out of one of those without an armful of great stuff, and much that I had to leave behind!

Thumbs up for music lovers!

[mvd]

9. I have a wide interest in music, find a lot of new stuff, and..

also collect. So my lists can be big. I usually buy my albums at sites like amazon.com and cdbaby.com. :thumbsup:

[Fire Walk With Me]

16. You must have eclectic tastes.. I only recognize three artists on your list!

I of course knew more about what was going on in general in music in 1987 when I DJ'd in college.

Seems like there's been some change since then ;-)

Enjoy!

[mvd]

17. Thanks!

My favorite styles are classic rock, power pop, pop/rock, rock, folk, Motown, folk/pop, indie/pop, and classical. I am a pop fan, but not always accepting of what is on the radio. I'm more open to the radio than many DUers are.

[ghostsofgiants]

4. Bought? None.

I've downloaded an assload though. Too much to think of, haha.

[Droopy]

5. Three in the last 30 days

All new metal bands:

"From Mars to Sirius" by Gojira
"The Crusade" by Trivium
"The Fall of Ideals" by All That Remains

I'm currently thinking of buying something from In This Moment and Cradle Of Filth.

[triguy46]

6. According to Amazon, 2 in last 30 days

Mark Hollis by Mark Hollis
Tied and True, by Detroit Cobras

[mvd]

10. I'm interested in the Detroit Cobras CD

Is it as good as it sounds?

[triguy46]

19. A real edge to it. Kind of girl punk.

[Burma Jones]

7. okely dokely

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
Green Day - American Idiot - (actual vinyl album)
Some Guy Playing the Glass Armonica - Crystal Carols
Some Other Guy playing another Glass Armonica - Music of the Spheres
Tripping Daisy - I am an Elastic Firecracker
Circulatory System - Circulatory System
Nirvana - Nevermind
Florence Foster Jenkins - The Glory? of the Human Voice

[MysticalChicken]

8. Here's mine...

I didn't bother to memorize them as I didn't know there would be a test later. Wait, let me look through my CD case and see if I can remember what I've bought within the last month:

Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister
Bettie Serveert - Attagirl
Buffalo Tom - Three Easy Pieces
Neko Case - Blacklisted
Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
The La's - self-titled
The New Pornographers - Twin Cinema
Old 97's - Too Far to Care
Old 97's - Fight Songs
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
Tegan and Sara - If It Was You
Yo La Tengo - Fakebook

Yeah, I think that's it... I think Cold War Kids' Robbers and Cowards might be added too, although I'm pretty sure I've had that for more than a month.

[cwydro]

11. None.

I haven't bought music in ages.

I'd like a Ryan Adams cd though.

[mvd]

13. I'd recommend Gold from Ryan to start

Easy Tiger is a good CD, but settles into a mellow and countryish groove - might not be for everyone.

[cwydro]

14. hey thanks.

I'll check that out.

[mvd]

15. You're welcome

:hi:

[cwydro]

18. funny thing with Ryan

an ex of mine kept making me a cd here and there of him after we broke up; that is how I was introduced to Ryan. She would leave the cd on my windshield, since we had broken up. I really like him though.

And I miss her.

But that's another story and one with no ending.

[Deja Q]

12. Guilty:

:(

Ghostbusters soundtrack
Goldfinger soundtrack
The Best of Toni Basil
Ray Parker Jr's Greatest Hits

[Misabel]

20. A Fine Frenzy, mvd.

I was introduced to her via The CW using her song "You Picked Me" on a Luke&Lorelai-centric promo (for an episode of Gilmore Girls last season). And then a friend of mine sent me "Almost Lover". Enchanting sound, I thought. I'm definitely thinking of getting her CD the next time I'm buying.

Anyway, the albums I've bought in the last month:

Iron & Wine - The Sea & The Rhythm
Iron & Wine - Woman King

And, 'cause our local Pennylane was (unfortunately) having a going-out-of-business sale:

Josh Ritter - 4 Songs Live
The Concretes - The Concretes
Esthero - Wikked Lil' Grrrls
Tristan Prettyman - Love
Zwan - Mary Star Of The Sea
Amos Lee - Amos Lee
Shakira - MTV Unplugged

[mvd]

33. Welcome to DU!

Looks like we have similar taste.. I have Josh Ritter (he's one of the best folk/rockers in modern music) on my list, and will also likely buy the upcoming Iron & Wine CD. Enchanting is a good word to describe A Fine Frenzy's music. And she does it without a lot of bells and whistles in the music. Just lovely arrangements and melodies.

[Misabel]

36. Thank you for the welcome.

[CatholicEdHead]

21. Zero

Was tempted by Megadeth's latest album but put that trash down.

[dubeskin]

22. Haven't bought a thing, but...

I have downloaded, oh, a good 300+ songs from Azureus (Bittorrent) ;)

[Bjornsdotter]

23. Rogue's March

Just one...Rogue's March---Never Fear

Cheers

[femmocrat]

24. Not a one.

I might get Kelly Clarkson's new one eventually.

29. i scored a never played doobie brothers greatest hits

for 25ct. best record purchase for the price so far this year...put it on my table and turned up the 70`s wharfedale 12inch three ways.... rock on dude

[Fire Walk With Me]

32. Wharfedales? I rescued a model 70, IIRC, from the garbage lineup.

It works just fine, looks like a 12" three-way; sounds like it looks too. I can't keep it around much longer, but I couldn't stand to see it going the way of the dodo (I'm very fond of audio gear). Is this the model you have, and would you like a spare? Seriously, I may have to trash it next week or so.
