Last album I bought was this:

I can honestly say it's the least mediocre Rolling Stones album of the last 20 years. And I'm (almost) looking forward to hearing a few of the new songs when I see the Stones next week.

You actually paid THAT much too see the stones.

Nah, I'm in the "cheap" seats. Two tickets at 60 bucks apiece. Barely enough to pay Keith's booze tab for the night.

Yes, I'm jumping on the bandwagon. So what? And what is the album that you posted, Hactar? I don't recognize it.

A: Fish.

I think that "American Idiot" is one of the best rock albums of recent years, so I ordered this as well!!!



And while I'm on a shopping roll ...

I don't have the album yet! But a live concert on tv featured songs from it and they were great! Listen to some sample clips on the web (iTunes, amazon, ...). The man is really good, this album too!

Ouch, how did you fit in the cash register?

I lost a couple of pounds thanks to my recent virus infection, thank you for noticing! My blubber ain't what it used to be, no longer can I pass through as a decent orca ...



... that is if I could stop enjoying delicious dinners and pleasant beverages. How improbable is that? Look at the beautiful spaceship that just arrived!

The Fray: How To Save A Life


and O.A.R.: Stories of a Stranger

So long...etc.

Arr! Beat me to it. I have yet to buy it, but the 30-second listens on iTunes sounded good.

Anyone have the new Neil yet? I plan on getting You Could Have It So Much Better and Prarie Winds on my next trip to Best Buy.

The Empire Strikes First by Bad Religion, I believe.

My recent acquisitions:


Fruit Bats - Spelled in Bones


Arcade Fire - Funeral

Let's see... What should I say?

Oh!

WOOOT!

I don't get it. Is the album like 50 times better than one would imagine from listening to to clips or am I just old?

Oh, I see. You were lampooning me.





It was a simple lampoon.

MG, you are ageless.

But to answer your question-- well, loads of people liked the previous album, so stands to reason they'd give the new one a whirl.

_________________

It was a simple lampoon.

Yeah, I think this one may top the debut. YCHISMB ( ) is a new direction, a little more rock-ish. There are some of the debut's dance disco-y stuff, but a lot of it is good. "Eleanor Put Your Boots On" "Walk Away" "This Boy" and "Evil And A Heathen" are all tremendous tracks.

If that doesn't float your boat, check out the other album I bought, Prairie Wind. It is an amazing record, topping his last album, Greendale. It's also being called the third in the trilogy of Harvest and Harvest Moon.

I'll have to give that a listen. I really haven't kept up with Young's later releases, but his old stuff is among my favorites.

After the Gold Rush. Need I say more?

Harvest and Zuma are my favourites but not much between those three. None of the recent stuff has been that good.

Just been listening to some Neil Young (Decade, the greatest hits compilation) and realised that most people probably know your state from a name of a Neil Young song.
Unfortunate.

Hehe....that's one of the few pieces my kids knew from an early age.

My 2nd offspring recognised it playing in a gift shop in Granada (Spain) when she was 4 years old, and impressed the shopkeeper mightily.

Indeed...I prefer it even to the almost-as-equally-brilliant "Oh, Inverted World"

Mine:


Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine
Feist - Let It Die

Little by little, filling in the songstress niche of my music collection.

Cool stuff ... she's still the leader of the pack!

The old ones are best, eh?
