Recent Music Purchases

[Dr Proctor]

What are people rocking out, getting down, or generally grooving to in East Dulwich ?

Does anyone actually pay for their music nowadays ? I'm a records man myself, and have just taken delivery of some beauties.....

Neil Young - Live at Canterbury Hall 1968, This is to lovely for my words.......

Sigur Ros - Von, Their first album only now available on vinyl, haven't had a listen yet but i have high hopes.

Radiohead - Live in Germnany 2001, nice mix of the old prog and their experimental stuff.

UK - UK, dodgy prog.

Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues, not their best but it only cost me a quid in a charity shop.

[Mikecg]

No Records but I just bought a Line6 veriax 600 and it Rawks.

[mockney piers]

The new bill callahan, jolly good it is too.

[Dr Proctor]

How does it compare to A River Ain't To Much To Love :)-D

[mockney piers]

Definitely treading closer to that territory rather than woke on a whale heart. Yet to give it a really good crack (aah, must rip it for work tomorrow) but sounds pretty good so far

[RobP]

Mockney, if you loved the new Bill Callahan album (and who wouldn't), download his contribution on the Kath Bloom tribute album too, very lovely. The new Rapheal Saadiq record is good as well, his performance on Jools last week was a breath of fresh air, tho' the Jay Z rap is rather clumsy. Still waiting for the new Spectrum Ep to arrive from 'merica.

[mockney piers]

will check it out, cheers beef.

[RobP]

No probs, I like to follow 'The breeze/my baby cries' (the Bill/Kath song) with 'Our dog is getting older now' by Jonathan Richman' and 'Big 'ol bug is the new baby now' by the Flaming Lips on the 'Colours are brighter' lp to create a lovely doggie themed trilogy. Talking of Jonathan Richman, his newie 'a que venimos sino a caer' is quite brilliant, also enjoying the Chatham Singers 'Ju Ju Claudias' as well as the blindingly brilliant Super Furry Animal's 'Dark days/Light years'.

[giggirl]

My recent purchases are:

Leonard Cohen - the O2 Live album - classy guy

Prodigy - the new one - very loud

Bruce Springsteen - the new one - only listened to it once - not sure yet

[Banksy]

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilions defo my fave album of the moment (can seem a bit 'chanty' on first listen but will take you places if you stick with it (PM me for sampler). If you like Beta Band / Polyphonic Spree la la la where's this going? vibe this is for you.

Otherwise mostly old and 'selective taste' dodgy Krautrock and Prog stuff but love Holy F*ck (youtube lovely allen), BlackMoth Super Rainbow and Wooden Shjips. Who else? - finding new music gets harder as you get older!

Enough - [hangs head in shame from realisation of dad-rock tastes]

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I have bought a new comb. Having difficulty tracking down hard toilet paper.

[jaybee82]

The new Maccabees album 'Wall Of Arms' which I've already played to death.

[ThinLizzy]

..Portishead (Dummy, Portishead)

..The Cure's Greatest Hits

..Sigur Ros

..Stevie Wonder's Greatest Hits

Cracking!

[prancingpony]

I bought March of the Zapotec a few months ago, but I just can't stop listening. Even when my music is on shuffle, it goes back to Elephant Gun everytime

[Sam]

Eagles of Death Metal - Death by Sexy and Heart On

Pete Molinari - A Virtual Landslide

Gomez - A New Tide, only listened through twice and liking it so far

Banksy, I've heard Pulse by Holy F*ck and liked it. Does the rest of their stuff carry on in the same vein? Might well puchase!

[Banksy]

Hi Sam,

They've got a lot of stuff on YouTube if you want to sample more.

[snorky]

I cant post here as my listening isnt obscure or studenty enough. No U2 though. Ever.

Am doing more Burt Bararach than is healthy though.

"blindingly brilliant Super Furry Animal's 'Dark days/Light years". I have to agree with you here. This is surely their best lp in 10 years, fantastic to have them back after a couple of poor (by their standards) records

[PeckhamRose]

Finally got Patti Smith on my iPod.

But to be frank, having also finally bought a DAB, I have discovered the delights of Planet Rock. it's pretty much like my own collection on Shuffle!

[jaybee82]

I quite liked Hey Venus! and Love Kraft Dr Proctor...

[Jah Lush]

Third - Portishead, the new Bat For Lashes CD, an old reggae compilation and Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scott's DVD.

[Dr Proctor]

Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scott's DVD.

Does this have Vinnie Colaiuta playing drums ?

[Jah Lush]

It certainly does Doc and I was lucky enough to go to one of the nights at Ronnie Scott's when it was recorded.

Just been out and bought the new P J Harvey & John Parish CD A Man Walked By and The Handsome Family's latest Honey Moon.

[Dr Proctor]

Thanks Jah

In which case I suddnly feel the need to see it. Vinnie = Mind bogglingly good.

Yes, it's a comp. I've only listened to Zaireeka once, with the four cd players lined up and so on, tho' i believe you can get the songs as b sides from the Soft Bulletin singles.

Love the Condor Fncks album Fnckbook too, it's yo la tengo playing covers, lound and noisy, fast and punky, recorded live in a single burst.
