Name the album you just bought, part 87

[Popmartijn]

I would have given you my copy of this.

But then you wouldn't have this excellent album.

Franz Ferdinand

It should be "excellent".

You have chosen wisely, e-friend.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Elbow -- Cast of Thousands
Elbow -- The Seldom Seen Kid

 

[GibsonGirl]

You have chosen wisely, e-friend.

I agree. They're fantastic, especially Mount Zoomer. I meant to buy both albums earlier, but...Wal-Mart has been my record store for the past four months.

It's nice to be living in the city again.

Wrong thread.

But I am planning on doing a mass CD buy this weekend

I approve.

Valient Thorr--Immortalizer (last night at the show, had it autographed )

 

[u2popmofo]

Martha, I read that as "Immoralizer" first, which would also be an awesome name.

Also preordered the Mogwai - 'Batcat' EP that comes out next week.

 

[u2popmofo]

Guess what just showed up in the mail....... I'll give you a hint, look at my avatar. If I was any more excited, I'd be jumping up and down. Expect to see this in the "what album did you listen to" list in about 40 mins.

 

[Popmartijn]

I didn't buy it, but got it as a gift:
dEUS - Vantage Point

I'm on a minor dEUS kick again since I saw them at the Lowlands festival a couple of weeks ago.

Are they going to release this in one package with Stage Names, like they did with Black Sheep Boy and Appendix?

 

[Popmartijn]

Arriving on my doormat today:
V/A - The Complete Motown Singles Volume 3: 1963

I think that was one of my worst purchases this year, three or so months ago. I saw The Complete Motown Singles Volume 4 in a used CD store (why???). As it had a reasonable price, I bought it. Full price, that boxset is way too expensive I think. But that time, the price was right. And so was the music...
So now I'm on my way to collect them all (they're at Volume 10 at the moment). Still not full price as I'm looking for bargains. And when I see one, I buy it. So now I have the first four volumes. Twenty-one CDs with all the singles (+ B-sides!) Motown and its sub-labels released between 1959 and 1963, even with the alternate versions some were released in. Oh my bank account!

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
System of a Down - Mesmerize

 

[FitzChivalry]

Woops. Wrong thread.

 

[u2popmofo]

You better go buy something to make up for it, Fitz.

No clue. If they do make a 2pk though, it probably won't be for a year or so, similar to how they did the last one.


My pre-ordered Mogwai EP did not come in today like it was supposed to.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood

I this record sooo much.

 

[FitzChivalry]

You better go buy something to make up for it, Fitz.

YES, SIR!

[IWasBored]

i really do not like the hold steady. i keep trying to listen to those albums because i really should like them, given that they sound like a combination of other things that i really like. the lead tracks off both albums, along with "sequestered in memphis" are the only songs i can marginally get into. there's something about the vocals that really irritate me.

 

[u2popmofo]

Too bad, I assumed you'd love them. I assumed wrong.

To be honest though, even I don't like the new album outside of 3 or 4 songs.

 

[IWasBored]

i assumed i'd love them, too. i'm still not convinced that i won't change my mind. i'm actually kind of baffled by this, haha.

i really like the new gaslight anthem, though. so i'll go see them in CT next month with the alkaline trio (although their new album sucked so much i haven't tried to make it grow on me, and don't plan to).

 

[u2popmofo]

Yeah, I'm extremely disappointed in the new Alkaline Trio as well. I should just sell it, I don't want to hear it again.

 

[IWasBored]

i should sell it and be rid of it, too. but i said that years ago about that sr-71 album that i still have.

 

[u2popmofo]

I've said the same thing about St. Anger numerous times...........................


Go post in The Specials thread.

 

[IWasBored]

we have a specials thread??
