i just ordered

I finally got Slim Thug's Already Platinum.

[Hiromi]

Excellent album!

agree 100 damn percent, can't wait for the next Ripper Iced Earth album.

[Punchy]

I stopped at Amoeba Music on the way back from San Diego, and that trip yielded:


Funny. Me and howyadoin went there yesterday after coming back from San Diego.

I bought the new Kneebody disc. That was all since I have so many other new CDs Ive yet to listen to.

howy came out with a lot of stuff.

[ZombieHavoc]

Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden

i think it's decent. but man, in my opinion, this record fell so short of iced earth's past 5 record. the only earth album that i like less than burden is their first.

i like it. but i rarely listen to it because if i want to hear schaffer getting loose i slap on horror show or dark saga. i STRONGLY recommend both of those.

[ZombieHavoc]

Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden

oh, and did you get the single or the double disc?

[howyadoin]

howy came out with a lot of stuff.That I did:

Joan Jett - The Hit List

L.A. Guns - Hollywood Vampires

Blue Öyster Cult - Fire of Unknown Origin

And the Ramones End of the Century documentary on DVD.



At the con itself, I also bought DVD by a Japanese band called Despairs Ray, called Murder Day.

[Deathstroke]

oh, and did you get the single or the double disc?

I got the double disc myself.

[ZombieHavoc]

L.A. Guns - Hollywood Vampires

How is this? i love the first LA Guns record. the second was OK, had some good tracks on it. i havent heard anything beyond on that. i've anted to check out some of the later stuff and some of the associated solo record.

i do have the two records that Girl record. if you arent aware, Phil Lewis sang for Girl in the early 80s, and they were aspiring to be the UKs answer to the NY Dolls. Hollywood Tease was actually fist recorded by Girl. They are pretty good records.

[ZombieHavoc]

I got the double disc myself.

me too. actually i got the single disc first, and then a couple of weeks later i saw the double disc. it only had one extra song on it, plus the accoustic version of the 9-11 song which i forget the title, but i still want to own everything IE recorded, so i grabbed it and sold my single disc.

there are 2 versions of a CD single/EP by iced that i still need to get. it has the ballads off of something wicked and then each version has a couple of cover songs that dont appear anywhere else. i cant remember off hand what the songs are- i know theres a deep purple cover and maybe a sabbath cover that was not on tribute.

You're talking about The Melancholy E.P., has a couple of new tracks on it, Colors is an unreleased Alive in Athens track, as well as a cover of Bad Company's Shooting Star and a Sabbath Cover, Electric Funeral. I also believe its rare as hell.

The Complete Quartets with Sonny Clark by Grant Green.

I was amazed that I stumbled upon this at McNally Robinson's music section of all places (it usually doesn't have what I am looking for and is biased towards various compilations of questionable value to a serious music snob like me) and at such a low price ($16.99 Cdn, for two discs, which is spectacular considering the usual prices in the section). I've been looking for this since Robert Quine listed it as among the recordings that most influenced him. (Okay, that and the cover looked cool.)

[The Mirrorball Man]

I just bought "Power to the People and the Beats - Public Enemy's Greatest Hits". Somehow, I had forgotten how good PE used to be, and still are (to some extent).

I also bought Björk's soundtrack to the movie "Drawing Restraint 9".

[Deathstroke]

The brand new Eliza Gilkyson CD "Paradise Hotel."

[The Mirrorball Man]

Oh, and the Björk soundtrack is shit. Avoid it.

-iggy pop & james williamson- kill city

-saxon- crusader
-rainbow- rising
-queen- a day at the races
-blackfoot- strikes
-axe- s/t
-fastway- all fired up
-fastway- s/t
-kiss- asylum

not bad load for $37.

Their older stuff was definitely better.

Jon Brion producing? It has to be good.

[d00m]

Jon Brion producing? It has to be good.

That's what has me so excited as well (I love Kanye anyway, but Brion is fantastic!)

[d00m]

Well, picked up Kanye West - Late Registration earlier...

Incredible album.. the best thing going on in hip hop right now. Everything about is fresh. I'm a huge fan of Jon Brion and his touches on the album are what make it so good. He knows just went to add a funky oboe, saxes, chill vibes, a full orchestra, etc.

Another good thing about the album is it steps away from some of the recent trends seen in most current popular hip-hop (none of that gangsta and crunk sh*t) Its good to hear something original for once.

[Headhunter]

Kanye West - Late Registration (Deluxe edition)

It's pretty good, but The College Dropout had a freshness and hunger that this album lacks. How has he gone from something so original to his sophomore effort, where he rips on his competition and talks trash about doing pot?

The beats are still hot and the lyrical prowess is there, but it leaves me feeling a bit empty.

[Glaucon]

Our Lady Peace - Healthy in Paranoid Times

Metalwood
Metalwood 2
Metalwood 3 all by Metalwood, a Canadian Jazz fusion group that existed up until about 2003. I got these at A&B sound because I had my eyes on them for awhile and they were on shelf where if I bought three cds from it I'd get 50% each. I couldn't argue with that deal.

the exploding hearts- guitar romanticI've only ever heard "Sleeping Aids & Razorblades". What's the rest of it like?

[Patient Boy]

Is that really as bad as I keep hearing it is?

I feel that it gets an unfairly bad rep, although there are some parts where you wonder just what the hell Com was thinking. Mostly I think it's because stripped of Common rapping, it doesn't really sound like a hip-hop album. There are points where you could be forgiven for mistaking this for a Stereolab or a Spiritualized album or something. (Huh. Doing some research and found that Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier features on a track.)

But it has some excellent performances by Common, and there's this one track (can't remember the title) which has like keyboards ala RZA's work for the Wu-Tang, and then the hook has like a choir and stuff.

The love songs are kind of weak though, and Jimi Was a Rock Star, while sonically interesting is to me a misstep because, well, Common can't sing. He's not Mos Def. For the most part though, Common does good and it's musically fascinating listening.

[Patient Boy]

what kind of music are you into?

These days I'm generally into rap, although I will listen to anything (the CDs I've listed in this thread alone will attest to that). Probably the only genre I dismiss straight out the box is gimmicky Euro dance pop.

[The Mirrorball Man]

I would have bought the new Dandy Warhols and Paul McCartney albums, but they are "Copy Controlled", and I don't buy that shit.

I'll have to check it out sometime. Fascinating is fun.

[The Mirrorball Man]

What does that mean? Is that when they come with their own player for the computer?
Exactly, that's when they come with their own little player that prevents you from copying any track, that muffles the sound of the CD and that adds little clicks and pauses whenever you're using another program. And that's when they don't crash your system. I'm not paying for that.

[ZombieHavoc]

I've only ever heard "Sleeping Aids & Razorblades". What's the rest of it like?

if you like that song you will probably dig the whole album. it's sort of like the buzzcocks meets social distortion.

it has a really, i guess, catchy sound, and obviously a similar vocal style, as a lot of the buzzcocks stuff, but it also has a real "story of my life" feel to it.

i recommend it most highly.

Someone in the Stones' camp had the weird idea of marketing limited edition versions of select Stones' albums in Canada, in jewel Cases, with a black cardboard over that which read "ROLLING STONES THE CANADIAN COLLECTION" plus album title and cover below and to the right of it a big graphic of those lips with a Canadian flag down the tongue. And the kicker?

Remastered sound and cheaper than the digipak remasters. WOO!

Other than the packaging, is there anything actually Canadian about them?

I was wondering about those. Other than the packaging, is there anything actually Canadian about them?

Well it says on the back that they are distributed by EMI Music Canada and were made in Canada. So there you go. I just supported Canadian manufacturing, in addition to the increasing concentration of the music business in the hands of few conglomerates. But I do the latter most of the time when I buy CDs anyways.

Rawk on!

Sarah Blasko's The overture and the underscore.

Good stuff.

[Punisher]

Disturbed's new album Ten Thousand Fists. It's very good, I can listen to the whole cd without skipping any of the tracks. This one is definetly better than The Sickness.

[ZombieHavoc]

got in 3 CDs that i bought on ebay for a total of $22 including shipping.

diamond head- behold the beginning
mercyful fate- return of the vampire

and the crappiest metal CD ive heard in while:

the armada- rage of the armada. glad i only paid $5 for this, but it is still too much money. never again shall i be deceived by a cool cover.

although it kind of reminds me of symphony x, so some of you people may like it. i thought symphony x were boring as hell though.

[Bakema NL]

I bought Epica - The score at their concert today.
It's a very different project coming from this band, it's a film score they made for an upcoming Dutch roadmovie "Joyride". Epica is a metal/gothic band, bombastic sound with mezzo-soprano female singer and male grunts, layered with some classical music and choirs, great stuff. And this film score is without the heavy stuff, without electric guitars, beautiful music, very different than their other stuff of course, but you can also hear the similarities, it's like the background of their heavy stuff is on the forefront here, that's maybe the best way to describe it....intro's made into whole tracks, I like it.

I'm thinking of buying it. Is it any good?

[Spike-X]

I just bought Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - "Jacksonville City Nights"
Hey, me too!

It doesn't strike me as being as good as Cold Roses, and some of the lyrics and phrasing thereof could have done with a bit more work, but I've only had one listen.

I also got Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited

Whiskeytown - Faithless Street (aka "What If The Replacements Made An Alt.Country Record?")

[The Mirrorball Man]

Hey, me too!

Me, I hated Cold Roses so I think Jacksonville City Nights is much better. ;)

[The Mirrorball Man]

I didn't wait for zombie to answer and bought David Banner's "Certified" (I downloaded it on iTunes, actually). I did the right thing: it's an excellent album.

[zombie]

Yeah, it's pretty good. I hope it sells well enough so he doesn't have to make any more "Play"s and can focus on more "Cadillac On 22s".

[Patient Boy]

Recently bought...

Common - Like Water For Chocolate
MC5 - The Big Bang!

[The Mirrorball Man]

Yeah, it's pretty good. I hope it sells well enough so he doesn't have to make any more "Play"s and can focus on more "Cadillac On 22s".
"Play" is supposed to be the big single? Hrm. There are much better things on the album.

[zombie]

"Play" is supposed to be the big single? Hrm. There are much better things on the album.

It was the first single I think. I read in an interview with him that he wants to spread messages about society and whatnot, but he can't do that if no one buys his albums. So he tried to make Certified more mainstream so that hopefully it'll sell a good deal and he'll be able to catch the ear of the people, and then start talking about the things he really feels passionate about.

Alright. So "Play" is not a single, it's Trojan horse!

Surprisingly good. The only other Atmosphere I've heard was The Lucy Ford EPs or whatever it was called, and I was never very impressed with it. But this album is really good.

[Adam Crocker]

Yeah, emo band, right? I've never heard them, but I've got friends who swear that they're the best band ever.

As far as I am aware of no. They're more of a punk revivalist band. On the other hand their fans do over-hype them. I have one friend that insists that "Boxcar" is the greatest song ever and was much aggrieved when I said, "it was an okay song."

Boxcar IS one of the greatest songs ever. Brilliantly simple ... HOWEVER, not as poingnent as Kiss the Bottle.

[Adam Crocker]

I was joking.

I am a dumbass.

Boxcar IS one of the greatest songs ever. Brilliantly simple ... HOWEVER, not as poingnent as Kiss the Bottle.

Not to me, but everything I heard by Jawbreaker is good, if fairly normal 90s punk revivalism, that manages to be grittier and more compelling than the commercial stuff. I personally prefer the pop smarts of Jets To Brazil.

[Ill Communication]

Crocker, you ignorant slut.

Jawbreaker is light years ahead of Jets. If anything, Blake took a step backwords.

However, my new thing is discovering power pop. Although nothing has come close to Westerberg and the Replacements ... I did enjoy a band called the Plimsouls.

[Adam Crocker]

Crocker, you ignorant slut.

Jawbreaker is light years ahead of Jets. If anything, Blake took a step backwords.

I don't see it. How is replacing standard issue punk revival chug with melodic song construction a step backwards?

However, my new thing is discovering power pop. Although nothing has come close to Westerberg and the Replacements...

Sure it has, namely Westerberg's hero Alex Chilton back when he was in Big Star. I will, however, check out the Plimsouls.

[Ill Communication]

I don't see it. How is replacing standard issue punk revival chug with melodic song construction a step backwards?

Well, obviously, because I'm right and you're wrong Adam. We've been over this a zillion times ... just like we covered homosexual hobbits, and why prog rock blows!

:eek:

Dude, I can only handle Big Star in small quantities. It's like really tacky 70s music.

You know who else I've been listening to recently? T-Rex, and Bowie! Go figure.

[Adam Crocker]

Well, obviously, because I'm right and you're wrong Adam. We've been over this a zillion times ... just like we covered homosexual hobbits, and why prog rock blows!

Yet somehow the Get Up Kids and Dashboard Confessional still don't sound anymore appealing. :-|

Dude, I can only handle Big Star in small quantities. It's like really tacky 70s music.

Tacky? This from the one who chided me for not having enough pop metal and cheeze-ball synth pop on my best songs of the 80s list? For shame Mr. Piechocinski! For shame!

You know who else I've been listening to recently? T-Rex, and Bowie! Go figure.

Not really, but I've been reading a book about British punk lately which reminded me of Brit punk's glam roots. I've been listening to a mish-mash of stuff lately.

Going to the World renownd Austin Record Convention in about an hour. .

I'll let y'all know if I buy anything (I usually end up w/ a few rare vinyl things and a bunch of DVD's)

EDIT:

Here's what I ended up picking up:

KISS: Alive -- British import, on Red Vinyl. No interior booklet, but I only paid $15 for it.

Curve: Chinese Burn -- ep on CD, w/ 6 remixes of the title song, plus two unreleased tracks. (paid $2)

W.A.S.P. : Special Edition Picture Disc, the songs "Animal (F..K like a Beast")" and "Show No Mercy" on vinyl shaped like a pig-head , that is scowling w/ fangs. Got a killer deal on this -- only paid the guy $10, because he threw it in w/ a bunch of other stuff I was buying (it had a $45 price tag on it).

KISS: "A World Without Heroes/Dark Light" 45. German Import (I paid $12.50 for it).

KISS: Symphony (Alive IV) I've never seen this on vinyl, and this one is still sealed! It's a limited edition of 10,000, and this is # 8345. Fantastic deal on this too. . I paid $22.50 for it (half of the $45 he had it marked).

All in all. .. a good day

It's Maiden, pass on buying at risk of being thrown out of the Heavy Metal Maniacs club!

I don't feel the need to buy a new album if I can make that exact same album and burn it onto a blank CD simply by pulling the songs off the individual albums I already own. *shrugs* I was just wondering if they had some new live tracks or something on it to make it alluring to the people who already have the entire catalogue.

[Deathstroke]

You are both out of the HMMC.

Oh, it's two discs with the songs in reverse chronological order.

It opens with Paschendale and closes with a live Iron Maiden.
