Last X records you bought, 2nd quarter 2003

My excuse is that I am buying it to loan to my SO.

There are some things I want on sale at Tower, but they I don't want them that badly (just want to get them eventually), and they aren't that cheap: Talking Heads Remain in Light, John Coltrane w/ Johnny Hartman, Prince Controversy (and some others), Public Enemy It Takes a Nation of Millions, and others.

I really wanted ARE Weapons and Foxy Brown, but I couldn't find them.

(If I buy Boston and Rush and Ligeti, you will know that I have turned into Sundar.)

[not meant as a criticism of either one of you]

If anything I think my problem is getting worse rather than better.

Two Mohammed Abdou CDs, including one double CD recorded live in Kuwait. I only have two other Mohammed Abdou CDs, but several things on tape (though I lost one of my irreplaceable bootlegs of one of his concerts). He's a great singer, but the backing music can vary from mind-blowing to intolerable. The samples from two of these CDs on www.maqam.com sound promising. Anyway, I thought I'd better grab anything I really want from Saudi Arabia now.

Husker Du - Zen Arcade
Black Sabbath - Sabotage
Ayler/Cherry/Tchicai/Rudd/Peacock/Murray - New York Eye and Ear Control
Albert Ayler - Spiritual Unity
Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame
Miles Davis - Bitches' Brew
Thinking Plague - In This Life
MS Subbulakshmi - The Sound of Subbulakshmi

'In This Life' is SO GOOD. when it first came out it felt a little displaced, odd that such a RIO-compatible record would be coming out 10 years on, but now it's decades after that even, and the record simply sounds fantastic. every single track.

Lemme think, what have I got recently, hmmm, I've been buying 'new' stuff lately...

Evanescence - Fallen (this is popcorn, I listen to it when I play football games on Nintendo)
The New Pornographers - Electric Version (not overly impressed, I'm afraid, they sound like a tinny Thinking Fellers/They Might Be Giants, perhaps I will play them in my other CD player which is analogue, I think that'll do the trick, coz a Thinking Fellers/TMBG is a good thing, but tinny is not)
