I'm quite happy with all of these, and hopefully they will hold me off until next month. I'm drastically limiting my music (and other) spending to save on a trip to New Zealand/Australia the girlfriend and I are planning. So, only 2 new cds/month (or the equivalent cost for used stuff) until June. I finished 2007 with a big purchase, opened 2008 with a gift card purchase, and the Lichens and SotL albums are my January purchases.

Mark, good choice with SOTL, that's a fantastic album, their best I'd argue, and one of last year's true gems.

various artists - Beyond Hamsterdam: Baltimore Tracks from The Wire
Jay-Z - The Blueprint (used, love this album but somehow never owned it)
De La Soul - Buhloone Mindstate

nice! i ordered that from Important Records a few weeks ago, along with the two Kluster live discs.

it's good. the four live shows I saw last weekend were even better. the two new Kluster discs have their moments, though they shouldn't really be called Kluster without Moebius & Roedelius on them.

yesterday:

Caspar Brotzmann Massaker- Koks Ofen (for one dollar!)
Scenic- Incident at Cima

Double Dee and Steinski : Who Owns Culture

and thats it for the last few weeks.
been a very 'dry' period for me, kind of going cold turkey now, and can feel the lure of the racks tomorrow.

I finally broke my half year + moratorium of CD buying because I seriously need some new music to play. I bought:

Boris w/ Michio Kurihara: Rainbow
La Lupe: That Genius Called the Queen

I like the Boris album a lot (although Smile is still my favorite so far). Maybe I shouldn't have gotten the La Lupe. I think she put out better material than this (though I like the salsa-oriented second half more than the pop-oriented first half), but I'd probably want to buy this eventually anyway, and the Latin music selection in the store I went to wasn't very good. Actually the store itself is miniscule, but at least they let you preview what you buy.

Stuff I've downloaded from eMusic recently:

Jenny Scheinman - s/t (a detour into country folk-rock for the talented jazz violinist - she has a good voice for this material)

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bayou Country (needs no introduction)

Thao - We Brave the Bee Stings and All (reminds me of Edie Brickell and that song by Yael Naim from the Apple ads - catchy)

Pete and the Pirates - Little Death (good British power pop)
