I got Roky Erickson's new cd. It's AWESOME! Definitely worth purchasing if you like blues/country à la Cash.

I bought a david allen coe cd garth brooks ultimate hits cd and pearl jam's ten legacy edition cd.

Gonna go see Gorillaz at Austin in October. :3 Tickets are going on sale next month, and I have early access cause I'm a member of the fan-club.

Picked up a bunch of vinyl the other day: White Light White Heat, Brain Salad Surgery, Sheer Heart Attack, L.A. Woman. Really want to purchase a new record player, though; as in brand new. I'd like to listen to these with a new needle and player, not on my second-hand 1970s relic.

I was just listening to that for the first time in ages. Forgotten how good it was, although Elegy by the Nice is my favourite album as far as Keith Emerson is concerned.

Had to turn it off when Karn Evil 9 came on though, 'cause I'm at work and it was faaar too distracting to get anything done...

I saw an MP3 download for 79p for a live Pigface jam with Jim Thirlwell from Foetus. I don't know if anyone's familiar with Martin Atkins' "supergroup", but they tend to go one of two ways - either absolutely brilliant or beyond terrible.

My 79p bought me what might actually top Iron Monkey as the most atrocious racket it has ever been my misfortune to hear. My eyes are actually watering here. It's absolutely, mind-bogglingly, bafflingly, [censored] terrible beyond all possible description.

Luckily I had earlier bought Foetus's 'Sink' compilation with which to clean my poor, unhappy ears. Honestly, he http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=268I3M74i-I.

:wub: Iron Monkey

Just bought the Final Fantasy XIII - Piano Collections. Not only do I like quite a few of the Final Fantasy games and just about all of their music, but I love piano. So it's pretty obvious that I absolutely love the piano collections series. XIII's is quite good, too. Part of me still likes Uematsu's work more, but Hamauzu's is nice as well.

I just bought a bass. Dunno if it was a good idea but it's fun so far.

Don't ask me the model. There's no writing on it whatsoever. Cheapo knockoff model I guess...

Bought a Cocteau Twins - Live in Vancouver bootleg dvd at the local hole in the wall. Neato show.



^ What is the model?

Bought a Beatles Poster and a Kid Cudi poster this week.

I want this http://www.rammsteinshop.de/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=367 for school so much
It's ￡33 + roughly ￡10 or so shipping >:|

Yikes! That's pricey!

Don't they do any sew-on stickers or something? Back in my day *creak* we'd buy army surplus rucksacks and sew emblems onto them, plus decorate them with pin-on badges.

Hey, there ya go:

http://homiciderocker.com/rammstein-patch-sehnsucht-p-238.html ($4.25 = ￡3.50)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rammstein-Badge-set-2-/280539655726 (currently ￡5.52)

Hunh ... looks like they don't do the old-style canvas rucksacks any more, but this is an across-the-shoulder version that would probably do:

http://shop.tacticalthings.com/product_info.php?cPath=35_53&products_id=260 (￡15.95)

Total: ￡24.97 + shipping

Which is still horrifically expensive, but less than the official bag.

Not music-related, but I really love this http://biowarestore.com/mass-effect/n7-armour-stripe-hoody.

But I couldn't afford it, so instead I replaced my chewed-up video cassette of Pigface's Glitch live rockumentary with a posh new DVD version:

Saw Arcade Fire's new album, The Suburbs, at a store just a while ago while I was out -- decided to pick it up. I'm still listening to it right now, but I quite like what I've heard so far.

Edit: The album's had time to sink in after a few more listens. I must say, I really like it. It's great. :thumbsup: Also, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH_7_XRfTMs is one of the most catchy songs I think I've ever heard (doesn't hurt that I adore Chassagne's vocals, too).

Bought Monoliths and Dimensions by Sunn O))) (Double LP) abd "Alchemic Ressurection" by Atavist (vinyl). Not listened to either yet, will get round to it tomorrow.

Alice is amazing. :wub:

Its been the 1970s all week since I bought the best of the Jackson 5 woo! Ive got funky fever!

lol today I bought; http://www.amazon.com/Christina-Aguilera-3a-Gettin-27-28Only-Target-29/dp/B001F9J858

It's old but I love it lol http://i49.tinypic.com/55qoly.gif

I've bought a coupla CDs lately. Some rockin', some jazzin', but all of them amazin'. Ah, that were tripe. Anyway:

Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection [Deluxe Edition]
Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain [Deluxe Edition]
Miles Davis - [censored]es Brew
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme

The censored word is the plural of a female dog.

Make sure the volume and bass are cranked when you do.

I just got back from Rebellion Festival, bought a couple of random CDs and t-shirts with offensive designs on them for [censored] Up and Bad Religion which I can wear in public to annoy parents with young kids.

Debut album of http://www.myspace.com/transatlantics, missed out on attending its launch a fortnight ago.

I just spent $100 importing three albums by PIG!

The actual albums themselves were only $50 for all three - Wrecked, Sinsation and Praise the Lard.
Then I had to pay $15 to get it shipped to the USA from Canada (they wouldn't ship to the UK). Then from there, my friend very kindly sent it on to me, at the cost of another $15.
Then I got landed a $20 import tax when it got here a month later!

Still, worth every penny! Having finally received them at the weekend, I've had them on constant rotation ever since.

I just saw a copy of A Stroll in the Pork (also by PIG) for ￡15 and just grabbed it right away. They had another copy also for sale (both second-hand at Amazon) - that one was ￡42, so I guess I snagged myself a bargain. Just need to find The Swining and my collection is complete (at least of the ones I want). Yay!

My love/fetish/addiction for all things JG Thirlwell also reared its http://www.sdphotography.net/portraits/pages/portraits-08.htm head when I found he'd released two things. One was http://www.amazon.co.uk/10-Ton-Shadow/dp/B00408UAWG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1284674296&sr=8-1, a contribution to a compilation called The NYFA Collection, which turns out to be a lengthy compilation of compositions by New York's finest. It's of the avant garde/modern classical persuasion, so Thirlwell's piece is suitably soundtracky.

My other Foetus-y purchase was Thirlwell's side-project Hydroze Plus, which was a collaboration with Fred Bigot from Electronicat - listen http://foetus.org/content/discography/releases/hydroze-plus - best track is Overcoat. Definitely one for fans of DJ Shadow, Tricky, Massive Attack, etc.

Weezer - Hurley

Honestly their best album since their debut.
