Virgin is still slowly closing the store in Orange, so now cds are 30% off. Still kinda pricey, but I found a few. Once it goes down to 40%, I'll have more to report.

Virgin in Ontario is closing as well. I read that the company will eventually close all its store, including Times Square, and just operate the one at Hollywood and Highland. Sad.

I bought the new Fall Out Boy on Tuesday. :heart:

Wow. That really sucks. Yeah, their prices were crap on stuff you can get at Best Buy or Target, but for anything even remotely non-big name they were great. You'll never be able to just browse through Best Buy or Target and find some gem like the deluxe 2-disc version of Pulp's "Different Class".


(Oh, and to keep on track, for Mike and for my Dad for Christmas I just bought - off Amazon, looks like I'll be doing this a lot more nowadays -

Mike

Brazilian Girls - New York City
Friendly Fires - Friendly Fires

Dad

U2 - Rattle and Hum
U2 - Achtung, Baby

Fitz, how's the new Eagles?

And I love love love the No Age record. :drool:

Martha, it's the first EODM album I've ever heard. (I actually wanted Death By Sexy for the song 'I Want You So Hard', which I heard on HBO's "True Blood" and loved! But my parents got me Heart On instead. :shrug: ) I like it. Very rocky and catchy, but then they mix it up w/ some modern arrangements. On some of the songs the singer reminds me of Mick Jagger and on some he reminds me of David Byrne. :lol: I've listened to it about 1 1/2 times so far, but I'm digging the EODM so far. :D

And I'm looking forward to the No Age album. I really love 'Eraser' and I've heard tidbits and smatterings of the rest, so I'm sure I'll love the whole thing.
 
Emmylou Harris - Wrecking Ball

:bow: :love:


I splashed out today in a used record store in Amsterdam. Concerto definitely is the place to be!

And tonight at the Claw Boys Claw concert I also bought their debut album, Shocking Shades Of Claw Boys Claw, as it finally saw a CD release. After 25 years. :eek:
 
My last purchase of this year? :hmm:

Roosbeef - Ze Willen Wel Je Hond Aaien Maar Niet Met Je Praten

Interestingly, as the release date of this CD was moved forward (from mid-January to mid-December), it already has a (c) 2009 copyright.
 
Leonard Cohen - New Skin For The Old Ceremony
Elkie Brooks - The Best Of
Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Prokofiev (Lorin Maazel) - Romeo and Juliet (Ballet In Four Acts)
Roxy Music - The Collection


Zavvi going into administration :drool:
 
I'm not sure what you do or don't have, but I think any (or all :wink: ) of the following would suit a drive home well:

Fleet Foxes - self-titled
The Gaslight Anthem - 'The '59 Sound'

So I bought these two, the others were not stocked where I went. After listening to both of them for a few days now, I can say I really like both selections.

The Gaslight Anthem really reminds me of The Bouncing Souls in a way. I think this is a solid album the entire way through. A good recommendation and album.

Fleet Foxes has really surprised me. I was not sure what to think after sampling a few tracks on youtube, but decided to purchase the album, and it has really grown on me. I am finding that after a few listens its more than half over before I know it. There are aspects of it that remind me of My Morning Jacket crossed with someone I have yet to put my finger on. Its a very unique album and I really like it.

I'll have to pick up the others this week. My pledge for 2009 is to get back on track with music, so hopefully I can return the favor.
 
OK, now the year is really over for me. And just before the end of the year, this arrived on my doorstep:

Prince - 21 Nights (a photo book about his residence in London last year, including a compilation of his aftershows: Indigo Nights)
 
The cd with 21 Nights is a bit... meh. I had hope it would be a few tracks from the actual O2 shows - not the aftershows.

Anyhow I just grabbed 'Tumbleweed Connection by Elton John :drool:

I keep forgetting how fucking awesome Elton was/is. I'm thinking I'll grab a copy of 'Caribou next. I'm going through an EJ completist phase right now. It is all consuming.

Also I had a downloaded incomplete copy of Darren Haye's 'The Tension And The Spark' - so I finally grabbed a copy and I must say it is truly an overlooked masterpiece. 'Darkness', 'Unlovable', 'Light', 'Void'... dark, dark, dark but awesome.
