What music have you purchased within the last 24 hours?

[derby378]

My three CD purchases: In Slaughter Natives, Dimmu Borgir, and Squirrel Nut Zippers. How's that for diversity?

:evilgrin:

[Mojambo]

1. Couple of Weepop! releases

Mexican Kids At Home - When We All Live In Igloos

Summer Cats - Passion Pop

You should support Weepop! if you like low-fi indie pop.

2. Sounds intriguing

I'm on dialup at present, so I must check out those pages later on. Thanks!

BTW, weepop.net's webmaster should check the link for the Mexican Kids at Home Myspace page.

3. I'm Bo Yo

The kid is going places.

[Pierre.Suave]

4. I bought some classical music

records. Yes, records.

[Fox Mulder]

5. People still pay for music?

:shrug:

[derby378]

6. Dude!

Support your favorite artist with a little spare change once in a while. Sheesh.

[Fox Mulder]

17. They already make enough money.

I'm not going to pay $15 for a CD because I like only one song on it.

[LeftyMom]

18. Concert tickets, merch, etc get a lot more money to them.

:shrug:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

7. Word.

[Forkboy]

9. I'll always fork over the cash for independent bands.

It's the least I can do for all the joy they give me. :)

[AccessGranted]

21. Purchase A CD? Huh? What's That?

Only joking. Last purchase was The Voice Within by Joshua Bell.

[Lyric]

23. Ooooo, Joshua Bell

*melts*

[AccessGranted]

24. Yup

He's a talented hottie.

[mvd]

30. I'm buying more and more on iTunes

Too many staples going up in price. I will buy the physical CD when it is a special one.

[Forkboy]

8. Never heard of Slaughter Natives, don't like Gummy Booger, and Squirrel Nut Zippers is awesome.

You'd think someone like me would dig Dimmu Borgir. I'm a huge black metal fan, a huge fan of extreme music, and yet something about them leaves me cold and flat. I've tried to like them, it just hasn't worked yet. Cradle of Filth has the same (non) effect on me.

SNZ is a trip, and a worthy purchase for any type of music fan. Fun music, and great party material.

Slaughter Natives sounds right up my alley. What kind of musical filth do they peddle? :)

My last purchase, about 36 hours ago, was Coffins "Buried Death", a Japanese version of the sludgy death metal Autopsy (and now Abscess) churned out. Lots of low end fuzziness and joy. Like early Entombed on an ether bender.

[derby378]

11. In Slaughter Natives is part industrial, part dark ambient

And yes, Squirrel Nut Zippers is something else. First time I heard them was 11-12 years ago, when my former boss lent me a CD. I felt like I was travelling back in time. Must get their Christmas album someday.

I've got a little of everything in my collection. Jazz, metal, rap, surf rock, old-school goth, C&W, reggae, five different shades of techno, and some of Subharmonic's darker releases.

I also have two discs chock full of Gregorian chants. By actual monks. I'll take their simplicity over this modern contemporary Christian stuff anyday.

[Forkboy]

14. Heh...sounds like my collection of "music".

A little of everything (except Janet Jackson type stuff...I have SOME integrity left). Just tonight I've played everything from Los Straitjackets to the Sun City Girls to Transglobal Underground and back again (listening to the newest High On Fire right now). I bet I'd love the Gregorian chants. I truly love music from a totally different background and culture than what I'm used to.

If you're interested, check this out. The two songs on this page labeled "Live at Brattle Theater" were recorded last night at the show I was at. Fucked up, but the coolest shit you could want to hear. The show was a tribute to the now deceased drummer, Charles Gocher. They showed a forty minute film of his film experiments, then they did two acoustic sets of SCG's material from the last 27 years. I had to get my jaw off the floor at the end.

10. 25 years ago. Radio is free, IF is want to listen to it.

No real interest in teh crap tey are selling.

:shrug:

[Bennyboy]

12. None but I recorded the Telluride Bluegrass Festival.....

Nice. Yonder, Sma Bush, Leftover Salmon, the Duhks....

[libnnc]

13. The soundtrack to Ocean's 13

great to listen to on the treadmill :bounce:

[asthmaticeog]

15. Do concert admissions count as music purchases?

I just saw a band called Bookmobile, from Columbus, OH, and now my scrotum feels ever so slightly wind-chapped. In the good way.

[Mr. Blonde]

16. Have to go out to about 36 hours, but

Feed the Animals by Girl Talk. He is doing it Radiohead style with a pay what you want to download. I went ahead and paid 15 because I was confident it would be awesome. I was right by the way.

[Blue_In_AK]

19. Two Emmylou Harrises for my husband

for our fifth anniversary because she's his favorite.

Her new one http://www.emmylou.net/intended.html and this retrospective http://www.emmylou.net/songbird.html

[mvd]

29. I love All I Intended To Be

The production gets so similar that she can't fully interpret every song like the can, but it is a winning collection of songs for sure.

[fortyfeetunder]

20. New Sergio Mendes album, Encanta

Produced with will.i.am (from Black Eyed Peas)

That was the first CD impulse buy in over a year. I am so liking Sergio's fusing Latin beat with hip-hop, R&B, and other artists...

[derby378]

22. Ah, yes - the infamous impulse buy

That Squirrel Nut Zippers album was a true impulse buy. I was in a used CD shop that carried mostly rap, including mixtapes from the locals trying to make it big. And there was Perennial Favorites, just sitting there among all the discs. So I scooped it up, which probably made it the only non-rap sale for the store that day.

[Initech]

25. I bought the new Judas Priest, Offspring and Coldplay albums.

The new Coldplay is pretty good. The Judas Priest is decent, and the new Offspring blows (I should have seen that it was produced by the ruiner of Metallica - Bob Rock).

[Arugula Latte]

26. Well, in a fit of 80s nostalgia, I just bought Bronski Beat's "Smalltown Boy"

I also bought Lloyd Cole's "Lost Weekend."

[mvd]

27. Latest purchases

Katy Perry - One Of The Boys (Don't listen to the flock of sheep reviews. This is a very good pop/rock CD, and she'll get even better once she develops her own sound more. She's a distinctive singer. I think the song "Ur So Gay" uses an overfamiliar slant, but the other songs show both attitude and emotion.)

Alanis Morissette - Flavors Of Entanglement (it's good, but still probably her worst CD. Many solid but not great songs. "Straitjacket" uses techno and her dance style effectively, and the pretty ballad "Incomplete" also uses techno effectively on the choruses. "Not As We" is a spare ballad that connects. The major thing lacking is a killer Alanis rock song.)

The Hold Steady - Stay Positive (takes a couple listens to become as good as Boys And Girls In America, but does! The lyrics might be even better.)

Tilly And The Wall - o (still one of the better acts in indie, I love how they can be folky and indie pop on once song and launch an expletive-laden, Sleeter-Kinney worthy rocker on another song.)

The Bridges - Limits Of The Sky (excellent folk pop CD that distinguishes itself with a CSNY flavor and light production.)

Coldplay - Viva la Vida (Thoroughly enjoyed it; they added enough new textures to grow as a band.)

Aimee Mann - Lost In Space (part of my quest to complete her catalogue; I'm a big fan of all her CDs.)

[TroglodyteScholar]

28. Black Francis "Svn Fngrs"

Also, mail-ordered Black Francis' "Bluefinger"

Man, after all these years, he's still got it

http://bp2.blogger.com/_WxXPoMuhuKU/Rt9PO7cKIVI/AAAAAAAAADs/_7dXpXhBInc/s400/Black+Francis+-+bluefinger.jpg

[harmonicon]

32. is he back to being Black Francis now?

I'm so out of the loop when it comes to the rock music that the kids are listening to these days. I remember when Frank Black had his first solo album.... now my head hurts. Get off my lawn.

[TroglodyteScholar]

34. Hahah...

Yea, he's Black Francis again for now. The Catholics are on a break so he's kind of doing his own thing.

The latest material definitely sounds different from the Frank Black stuff, although his voice is unmistakable.

[Connonym]

31. I was watching Coupling and that lead me to go to Itunes and purchase this

[Hardrada]

33. Deutsche Volkslieder 8 CD set.

I like German folk music.
