Righto then....

Foo Fighters - One by one - very 10'ish...
Nora Jones - Feel like home - minus 10 feps maybe? Who cares, sounds good to me after the first listen.
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot - nice
The Blue Nile - Hats - paid $5 second hand and the album is rooted (technical term meaning.."I was ripped off" Roll Eyes)
Elbow - Asleep in the back - bought after a recent fav, Elbow's Cast of Thousands...very good if much of the same (which isn't bad if it was good)
Mellow - Perfect Colours - not sure what to make of this one. Few more listens me thinks
Zero 7 - When it falls - only listened the once so early days...

And some other recent buys

Lambchop - Aw Cmon, etc - ab fab Big Grin
Jonny Greenwood - music from the film Body Song - bizarre, challenging and entertaining. What more can you ask? Did I mention it was bizarre!

Enjoy. Jay

WHY???????????????

Computers are supposed to work on 1's and 0's - in other words "Yes" or "No" - why does mine frequently say "Maybe"?......

Rubber Soul, 1st press loud cut.

Sounds awesome for a >30 year old album. If the Nagger finds out how much it cost I'll be singing soprano for Easter.

Maybe we could have a topic for purchases in order of the time of day they were bought,then cross reference them with your birth sign and then by the colour on the sleeve.
Posted on: 17 March 2004 by andy c
Haroon,
whats your point?
I thought the idea was a good one.
The 'last album' thread is ok but its huge now...
I don't purchase many lp's but will still read the thread 'cos you can get it on cd as well in some cases....
AL4n,
it would be better if the search engine on this forum worked better then we wouldn't have to worry what title the thread was.... Wink
Posted on: 17 March 2004 by Haroon
andy I dont understand your post above, also I thought you were agreeing with me in your previous post. To what are you refering to as to 'What's your point?' ??

The point of a thread like this is to find out what music people have been purcahsing RECENTLY. The old one got too big and difficult to handle and for new users would have been a hastle to go through.

Splitting it down by Vinyl and CD is one approach to cut the size down, but in the end both will have the same problem as the old one - they will grow too long and loose relevance.

What I would have thought to be better would be to have 'music purchase in March-April' for example and then another one for June-July. Reason being like this is that one doesnt want too long a time span - thread will become too long and irrelevant. And on the other hand you dont want too short either as it wont be meaningful - peoples opinions of music can change over a few listens. One or two months gives us long enough to post about a reasanble amount of albums. then there are also posts about individual albums for those wanting to go more indepth.

Anyway it was just a suggestion and didnt set out to get peoples backs up.

Oh yeah DJ MArky Album out next monday, I think.

Haroon,
My apologies.
Got the wrong end of the stick.
My only point is that so long as people post what they have purchased thats fine by me. I've purchased some good stuff based on the recommendations of others on this forum (Didn't rate the Rickie Lee Jones one tho!).

Again, apologies.
