ILM Snapshot: Last Five Records You Bought

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

My Monday thread! Might be more revealing than top 100 lists, because more 'objective' (if people are being honest - and please, be so). Rules: you have to have bought them. They dont have to be for you. Records = any format, not vinyl records. Here are mine in order of recency: 1. Various Artists - Magnum Opus (80s disco/rare groove compilation)
2. Radiohead - OK Computer
3. Sugababes - One Touch (second copy bought)
4. Various Artists - Now That's What I Call Music 48
5. Sister Sledge - We Are Family

― Tom, Monday, 7 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The more honest everyone is, the more interesting this is.

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.

― Josh, Monday, 7 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

In reverse order:

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).

― Michael Jones, Monday, 7 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Prepare to be bored to death (most recent most first):

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... )

1. Rocket From the Crypt - Group Sounds
2. Richard Buckner - Devotion + Doubt
3. John Martyn - Empty Air
4. Momus - Folktronic
5. AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
also just replaced copies of This Nation's Saving Grace and Bend Sinister, and a few others. It's almost be nice to have ten spots here.

― Sean Carruthers, Monday, 7 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If this is recurring, AND we have ten spots, AND we all continue to be honest, I for one am going to be rather quickly exposed as a just-12- CDs kind of a fellow.

― mark s, Monday, 7 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can only remember four:

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.

― Keiko, Monday, 7 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

most recent first 1. cloudboy - down at the end of the garden 2. bows - cassidy 3. pearlfishers - across the milky way 4. bristols - tune in with the bristols 5. roy montgomery - silver wheel of prayer

1. Tortoise: Standards (Warp)
2. Radioactiveman: Uranium EP (Rotters Golf Club)
3. Autechre: Confield (Warp)
4. Spectre: The End (Wordsound)
P.S. Does anyone know anything at all about Spectre? I bought the album thinking it was dub but it turned out to be some kind of turgid hip-hop affair. Shame I got it online as I would return it. Is his other stuff any better?
5. Wagon Christ: Musipal

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!

― dog latin, Monday, 7 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

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!

Maybe, but what honesty! You are to be commended.

― Sean Carruthers, Monday, 7 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I tend to buy in bulk, so it will have to be 5 CDs I've bought recently:

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!)

― DG, Monday, 7 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If the question were the last 5 CDs I've bought that cost more than $5, my answer wouldn't be quite as humiliating.

― Chris H., Monday, 7 May 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

In the past year I've mainly been cutting cds from old vinyl for friends (and occassionally a copy for me) or making cds from mp3s (or other cds) or getting freebies from friends but here's the last 5 I actually purchased :

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)

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-four 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-four years ago)

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!

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

We shd start a 2nd thread on the 7th.

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.

― Andy K, Thursday, 2 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yesterday I pre-ordered (via CD-Wow) the two new Tom Waits albums, and bought Tamla Motown: Big Hits And Hard To Find Classics, Intelligence And Sacrifice by Alec Empire and 2 Many DJ's by Soulwax.

― nathalie, Friday, 3 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I haven't had the chance to listen to all of them yet, it being finals week and all... but FUCKING AYE the Soft Cell is some great stuff! "Sex Dwarf" knocks my brain outta my ear! I really like the ABC I listened to, too, though some friends were over and I didn't have it very loud. I love that sort of production so much. I can't wait to listen to the stuff in more depth, and I can't wait to hear the Simple Minds - maybe I'll put it on tonight.

― Clarke B., Friday, 3 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My proverbial ship has come in! Fuck it i didn't buy them, my brother copied them for me for my birthday but I still want to put them here.

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.

"Sonic Youth-Murray Street CD is wuvahly"

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

― michael bourke, Saturday, 4 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ned, the Luv CDs - do you mean the Dutch band?

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

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 4 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The new SY album is crap.

― Marc, Saturday, 4 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Jack ~ 'The End of the Way It's Always Been'
The Folk Orchestra ~ 'The Folk Orchestra'
Tweet ~ 'Oh My'
A Certain Ratio ~ 'Early'
Felix Da Housecat ~ 'presents Excusions'
New Tellers ~ 'Some People Make Things Better'

>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'...

― DavidM, Saturday, 4 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Tell me more! I've been put off getting new SY stuff since "A thousand leaves" sucked.
Hm. That was actually one of my more recent faves from them. Experimental Jetset and NYC Ghosts, on the other hand....

― Sean Carruthers, Saturday, 4 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hey davidm, how is the jack album different from the first two? in the rough trade update they say it is quite different.

― keith, Sunday, 5 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The new Jack is different in that they've discovered sampling, synths, tapes and drum machines. The sweeping, weeping strings are still there on most tracks, but the sound is much punchier. It isn't exactly their 'Kid A', but it is a very varied album ('DiscoCafeSociety', for instance, is like Denim doing electroclash, 'The Emperor of New London' sounds like Godspeed You Black Emperor trying to write a pop hit)(and succeeding).
Reynolds' best songs, their best, most emotional album. Superb stuff.

― DavidM, Sunday, 5 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

All thrift store purchases:

1. B.J. Thomas-On My Way
2. Dorothy Moore-Misty Blue
3. Sister Janet Mead-The Lord's Prayer

― Arthur, Sunday, 5 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

We need a part two of this made TODAY! It's getting unwieldy and it's been exactly a year.

Tom should do the honors.

Or you could always use this one.

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-three 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-three 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.
