ILM Snapshot: Last Five Records You Bought

Pixies - BBC Sessions
Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You
Beyond and Back: The X Anthology
A Tribe Called Quest - The Love Movement
Mogwai - Rock Action

I think these are the most recent ones.

Frances-Marie Uitti: 2 Bows (four quid on Rupert Street)

Tony Ferrino: Phenomenon (yes, yes - Coogan's nadir, but it was worth the £1.50 for the look on Pam's face when she finally realised who the swarthy stud on the cover was; separate thread: records bought as a gag?)

Serge Gainsbourg: No.2 (reissue of 1959 LP on 10" - for Pam; the one with the bouquet and the revolver on the cover)

Mouse On Mars: Idiology (LP, a penny short of a tenner in Rough Trade)

V/A: Clicks & Cuts 2 (triple-CD - also RT. Much sweeter and warmer than #1 on first listen).

1. Eminem: The Marshall Mathers LP 2. Outkast: Stankonia 3. Destiny's Child: The Writing's On The Wall 4. P.J.Harvey: Stories from The City, Stories from the Sea 5. Manhattan Resarch Inc.: Raymond Scott

(ps: if these all fold up as if I didn't type "return", which I did, why did they? If not: ignore me... )

Bob Dylan - Slow Train Coming Whiskeytown - Stranger's Almanac Mouse On Mars - Idiology Tim Buckley - Morning Glory

But I'm listening to _A Chance to Cut is a Chance to Cure_ from Matmos, and I didn't buy that too long ago, so let's say it makes five.

Needless to say my IDM collection is taking over everything else i have... I've started growing an RDJ beard too! HELP ME! HELP ME!

I also got a free promo from the pile that the store I bought No. 1 used from was trying to get rid of - "Herd of Instinct" by Orang, a very intriguing album apparently by ex-members of Talk Talk. All these except No. 2 I got used--hooray for internet shopping!

What an embarassment.

1) Faust - Faust/So Far 2) Public Enemy - Yo! Bum Rush The Show 3) Go-Betweens - Before Hollywood 4) Mos Def - Black On Both Sides 5) Pulp - This Is Hardcore (with free Glastonbury CD! Ooooooh!)

Jane Birkin - Master Serie Vol 1 (what an atrocious voice) Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 - The Very Best (not as cheesy as you might think) Talking Heads - Fear of Music (probably their best) Joy Division - Substance (thanks ILM for making me buy this) Suede - Suede (not as bad as I'd imagined nor as good as I thought it might have been)

1. The Spinanes--Strand 2. Flaming Lips--Clouds Taste Metallic 3. Missy Elliott--Supa Dupa Fly 4. True Love Always--Hopefully 5. Mouse On Mars--Vulvaland

Abba - Gold

Grateful Dead - Workingmans's Dead

Amon Duul II - Wolf City

The Band - Greatest Hits

The Happy Balloon - The Fine Art of Ballooning

Serge Gainsbourg - Historie de Melody Nelson Kate Bush - the first ablum, title escapes me Wookie - New single, title escapes me Four tops - greatest hits compilation Looper - the album with the geometric shapes on the front Lyn Collins - the second album, the one without Think (About it) on.

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

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?

1. Eve - Scorpion 2. Nick Cave - No More Shall We Part 3. Bonnie Prince Billy - Ease Down the Road 4. Roxy Music - Country Life 5. Destiny's Child - Survivor

1. Dismemberment Plan/Juno 2. Lonnie Johnson "Steppin' on the Blues" 3. Bonnie Prince Billy "Ease Down the Road" 4. Guided by Voices "Isolation Drills" 5. The Damned "Damned But Not Forgotten"

Damn, I listen to more mp3s than I thought I did...

Textstar is a comp of the Klang Elektronik singles. I like the Farben material more than Jelinek and Gramm -- these are his most ornate and dubby productions. A different vinyl-only delux pkg called Starbox just came out too.

About a Boy ST Eban & Charley ST - Stephin Merritt Pedro the Lion - Control Sir - The Night I Met My Second Wife Trembling Blue Stars - Slow Soft Sighs (CD EP) Cody - Uplift (CD EP)

1. X-Press 2-Muzikizum-Well duh.

2. The Streets-Original Pirate Material. Friends despise it so I didn't get a chance to listen to it last night.

3. Justin Robertson-Bugged Out Mix CD-This should be called an Intro to Tech House.

4. David Holmes-Come Get It I Got It-Not listened to this yet.

5. American Gigolo mixed by Tiga.

6. many many many mp3s.

Looking forward to getting the new Track & Field stock...

Napalm Death - Scum
AC/DC - Highway to Hell
Hawkwind - Masters of the Universe (only £2.99!)

S Club Junior - One Step Closer (for daughter, 7)

Trojan Roots Box

Tell me more! I've been put off getting new SY stuff since "A thousand leaves" sucked.

No, this is a Seattle-area group, and luv(sic) is the full and actual name of the band. :-)

>Ned said: "have you been able to find a compilation of theirs that actually has "Think That It Might" on it? Ever since I've heard the Wedding Present version, I've wanted to hear it, but none of the comps I've stumbled across lists it!"

Well, it's on the 'Pinky Blue' album so why not just get that? (If the record stores near you are as good as they say they are they should have it) I bought my copy for 40p from a car boot sale years ago. Marvellous. I still maintain 'Blue Monday' was influenced by the album version of 'I Could Be Happy'...

1. B.J. Thomas-On My Way
2. Dorothy Moore-Misty Blue
3. Sister Janet Mead-The Lord's Prayer
4. Bobby Darin-Born Walden Robert Cassotto
5. Barbra Streisand-Stoney End

1. ABC - Lexicon of Love
2. Duran Duran - Rio
3. Dif Juz - Soundpool
4. Talk Talk - Colour of Spring
5. V/A - Teil 1

Luomo.

Plan to get: Teena Marie and Lisa Lisa and Samantha Fox. (guess which book I just read!)

Tom should do the honors.
