what was the last cd you bought?

Stefan - first listen it sounded pretty OK to me although I need to have another run through to be sure how good it is.

Just bought

U2 - How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb

Neil Young - Greatest Hits

Adrian

All,

EST -- Seven Days of Falling. A couple of listenings in and I think it's very good.

King Crimson -- Thrak. Anno 30 Remaster. Really, really good. I'm quite happy about this one.

Centro-Matic -- South San Gabriel. A good album from a lesser known alt. country band. Will Johnson's an original songwriter. Sonics are good.

daniel
ps -- did I mention these are all good?

Felix Laband - Thin Shoes in June

it's ace!

Richard Thompson - The Old Kit Bag - excellent

Arcade Fire - Funeral - not so sure about this one

John Martyn - Solid Air - from Snapper Music, 2CD early 90s re-recordimg of his classic 70s stuff - some good, some not so.

Seventeen Seconds
Disintegration

Roy Orbison - Collection - Virgin re-recording, not as good as the originals but still excellent.

Andy

The Animals, Retrospective; great re-mastered CD/SACD combo...finally the great stuff all on one CD.

_Drive-By Truckers - Southern Rock Opera:_

Nick, the subsequent albums Decoration Day and The Dirty South are excellent as well, and have some stuff by the "new" guitar player Jason Isbell, who joined in late 2001 after the recording of SRO. Jason is quite simply a 23- year-old-Warren Haynes-clone without being totally derivative, if that makes sense. On the Dirty South, I program his four self-pennend songs and it is just sublime. Seems like the Truckers were going to be in England/Europe right around now. Maybe check out www.drivebytruckers.com and check my memory.

good listenin'

Well, I just looked, and my memory is bad, maybe watch the site from time to time, it may be right after the first of the year - got some kind of email notice awhile back, but I didn't keep it (and I am on way to many meds Nurse!)

After the gig last night

Collection - Gordon Giltrap the first of his I have on CD.Not as good as the vinyl IMO. I did get the vinyl from a guy who worked for the record label so I guess it should have been good.

A amall package from Amazon:

Wilco - A ghost is born - not enjoying this as much as their last one (Yankee...).

The Kinks - Are the Village Green Preservation Society - I was vaguely aware of this the first time round but was more into Beefheart/Jimi Hendrix and the Bonzos to fully appreciate it. A lost classic.

Elliott Smith - From a Basement on a Hill - a sad record.

Trashcan Sinatras - Weightlifting - haven't played this enough to give an opinion.

Don't try this at home children:

Blue Man Group: "Complex"

A bunch of blokes covered in blue paint bashing the hell out of long PVC pipes fronted by superb guest singers.

Absolutely wonderful! Refreshes the parts other rock groups cannot reach. (And wouldn't dare try)
