if only there was some way to combine the destiny's child album with the cex album, i would buy five copies and report it here.

ethan, Tuesday, 8 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

I'm scared because my last three purchases are exactly the same as Mark S's, but in a different order. I had copies of the Eminem and Outkast already but felt bad about depriving the record company of my money.

The other two were Daft Punk and the Avalanches. Baa!

Nick, Tuesday, 8 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

I just found a bunch of old shit for real cheap that I'd been meaning to get for the LONGEST time....really...

1. Buzzcocks - Spiral Scratch 2. Stiff Little Fingers - Inflammable Material 3. Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me 4. Ultramagnetic MCs - Critical Beatdown 5. Gang of Four - Entertainment!

There were a lot more -- my biggest day ever, 18 I think, nothing compared to you all -- but these are my favorites, so far.

Oh, and does anyone know where I can find Big Star's Radio City on CD or LP as a standalone album?

Bill

Bill, Tuesday, 8 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

I don't even remember, so I'm sort of guessing:

Cinerama, Disco Volante. Manic Street Preachers, "So Why So Sad" single. Kylie Minogue, Light Years. Josie and the Pussycats soundtrack. St. Etienne, Places to Visit.

I'm certain those aren't even right. My dad bought me the New Art Riot EP, do gifts from others count?

1. Walking Down Mainstreet - Tarras 2. Out Spaced - Super Furry Animals 3. Who Is Jill Scott? 4. Taming Tiger Mountain - Brian Eno 5. Fuzzy Logic - Super Furry Animals

If anyone hasn't heard of Tarras I strongly recommend you track down their new album - very folky, but the first track, Arizona, is the best song I've heard this year.

John Davey, Tuesday, 8 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Okay: Plunderphonics -- _69 Plunderphonics 96_ box
Unwound -- _Leaves Turn Inside You
Mogwai -- _Rock Action_

Bardo Pond -- _Dilate_ So it's six, I bought most at the same time. ;-)

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 8 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

In order for this to be a question Ned can properly answer, it needs to be changed to: What were the contents of the last 5 huge cardboard boxes of CDs you bought?

Ally, Tuesday, 8 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

1/P.I.L.-'second edition' 2/Avalanches-'since I left you' 3/Cocteau Twins-'stars and topsoil' 4/Smith and mighty-'DJ kicks' 5/Elliot Smith-'either/or'

(voice dimly echoing amongst the columns): "...should i mention the no-man stuff i got recently or not or..."

[Cue Marcello: "How HORRIBLE that he's just talking about SIZE again instead of leading proletarian revolutionaries to burn down a Starbuck's..."]

The Dirty Vicar, Tuesday, 8 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

bah, time to learn how to use HTML.

The Dirty Vicar, Tuesday, 8 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Hey Dirty Vicar, just saw Sigur Ros the other day, and all they had was t-shirts! I feel ripped off! That definitely would have been on my list if they had it at the gig! Dammit!

Sean Carruthers, Tuesday, 8 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

You're a brave man to admit the third above, Geordie. The man I always try to *avoid* comparing Paddy Kingsland to, I mean :).

Anyway, for me, leaving aside the several CDs I've been sent or got with magazines etc., in reverse order:

Skitz, _Countryman_ Joe Meek and the Blue Men, _I Hear A New World_ Joe Meek, _The Triumph Sessions_ Ty, _Awkward_ Momus, _Folktronic_

Could be forgetting something, but anyway..

Neil Finn - Nil Fun

Gorillaz

The Fiddleheads - live (my brother in law's band)

Folk Implosion - One Part Lullaby

and the fifth most recent could be one of three (mind is gone); The High Fidelity Soundtrack, Matador Records 10th Anniversary, or Spookey Ruben - Modes of Transportation Volume 2. I should qualify that I put my CD buying on near hiatus due to MP3 'almost too much new music' supersaturation.

Kim, Tuesday, 8 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

1 John Cale- Andy Warhol Soundtracks 2 Dolly Parton- The sparrow 3 Momus - Stars Forever 4 Paul Simon- Yr the one 5 The American Folk Anthology

Tom should do the honors.

Andy K, Tuesday, 7 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Or you could always use this one.

Jeff W, Tuesday, 7 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This is really convenient if you want to see how yer taste has evolved. Apparently mine's still crapola. hah!

nathalie, Tuesday, 7 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If anyone cares, I just bopped a new thread up here if anyone wants to lighten the load on this one. Now realize it was mis-named because alex in montreal's was already named part II. Oh well. What the heck.

Sean Carruthers, Tuesday, 7 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Where did you get a copy of the new SY? The website gives the US release date as July 2 and Europe and Japan as some time in June. What's it like? The cover art looks good and it's supposed to be more of a rock album, which I think might be a good thing.
