I just bought the Elvis remix, so what about you?

"Shot Down," by Lee Fields--a Sonics cover recorded this year in late- '60s heavy funk style.

― Douglas, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I haven't bought a single for about 4 years. I mean now we share files right?

Probably it was Ozomatli : Cut Chemist Suite ...

I don't buy singles.
Well, I have Radiohead singles. But that's more of a collector thing than a "I MUST have that single!" thing.

Mirah's Small Sale 7" just happened to be around when I bought The Microphones' The Glow Part 2.

I got Hot Room by Linda Lamb on 12", it is groooovin and rockin and so forth, and the Deejay Gigolo kids put everything in delicious violet sleeve which is bonus.

― Alex Linsdell, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think it was Beastie Boys - Intergalactic

― Ludo, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Probably the Weezer single for my cousin. Before or after that, some vinyl reissues (Lou Reed pre-VU band).

― nathalie, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

tweet - oops
been spinnin that one tons.

― Brock K., Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I hardly ever buy anything these days except stuff to re-sell on eBay, but I just bought 'Dove' by Moony. I don't care what anyone says, it's great.

― David, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's been a while...I think is probably "Gimmie Aibo" by Printed Circuit on nice see through red vinyl!

― jel --, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

'Let Go'by 'The Sandpipers' on ebay,fantastic '68 single

― Paul R, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Capitol K, "Pillow"... I don't buy them often.

― Keiko, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pulp - Bad Cover Version. Everyone should have bought that Moony single, David, it IS great.

― EdwardO, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

>Cornershop's Lessons Learned From Rocky I To Rocky III12"

The Rapture, "House of Jealous Lovers" 12-inch

― M Matos, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Brandy - What About Us 12"

― paul, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Probably an old Charlatans release. I'm through with singles; they take up more space than they're worth. B-side collections just render singles pointless anyway.

― Tim DiGravina, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ben watson (reading poems in his own 'style')/Derek Bailey 7'' on rectangle records. It was in Tower's 'Alternative Singles' rack.

― Julio Desouza, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Not sure if it counts as a single, but I bought the three track e.p. but Interpol (featuring "PDA" and "NYC")...

And, I sheepishly admit to buying the cd-single of "Days Go By" by Dirty Vegas.

― Alex in NYC, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Why sheepishly, Alex?

I don't think anyone knows if they really like that song.

― Keiko, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If EPs count, then I think Plaid's P-Brane EP.

― Leee, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Idlewild and Hint.

― Nick Southall, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Three at once (12" vinyl, natch):

Nothin'(/I) - N.O.R.E. & Pharrell Williams (Def Jam),
Money Owners - Shade Sheist featuring Timbaland (MCA)
Statement - Krewcial (Vinylators).

― JoB, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

David is dead right about the Moony single. Why do Italians, sometimes, have this *knack* that nobody else seems to?

― Robin Carmody, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A twelve inch of Man 2 Man's "Male Stripper" from a thrift shop.

― Arthur, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Moonshake's "Lola, Lola" b/w "Always True to You in My Fashion" - thank you ebay. Now if someone would just sell _First_, I'd be a happier man...

― Ernest, Sunday, 23 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

John McLean - "If I Give My Heart To You" b/w (Mad) Professor Doppler - "Doppler Effect" >>> 7"

― Paul, Sunday, 23 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I bought two at once the other day: both on hype. The Libertines 'What A Waster' and The Vines Get Free. They're this year's Strokes if you will.

― Shane, Monday, 24 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Arthur --

You've peaked my interest with this Man 2 Man single. I wasn't able to find any real info about them on the web; other then that wonderfully grotesque album cover at AMG. Are they any good, even as pure novelty?

― JC, Monday, 24 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Love is the Drug" 45 - fitty cent.

― Clarke B., Monday, 24 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i think the last single i bought was nikka costa 'like a feather' becuz i wanted to get the instrumental. don't buy singles too much anymore - have not been keeping up with hip hop at all, mainly...

― Ron, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The Strokes clear vinyl 7" on Rough Trade - live versions of Hard To Explain and NYC Cops apparently. I say apparently because with the piles of vinyl I have yet to wade through, it'll be 3 or 4 months before it even gets listened to.

― electric sound of jim, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh, and I'm not selling my copy of "First" either (gosh I remember when there was heaps around. showing my age here)

― electric sound of jim, Tuesday, 25 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Palace brothers - ohio river boat 7"¨ braniac - Superduper.... 7" Shirley Brown / Frederick Knight - Woman to Woman/I´ve been lonely for so long 7" Loleatta Holloway - Worn out broken heart / Dreamin´ 7"

Last one that I bought that's here: Interpol EP.
Last one that I bought but is in transit in the mail: Clint Eastwood, Gorillaz. Solely to annoy a friend with the video. ; )
