What Did You Buy? - SteveO - 11-07-2012
You've bought some nice music there, Trace ! I can't get over the 50 cent vinyl...a lot more here !!! Happy to hear you opened the JA album !!!!...lol
TraceNspace Wrote:I got 3 CD's, 2 are replacements for things that have walked off in the hands of someone else, no doubt my brothers.....they are Nirvana - Unplugged in NY and Beastie Boys - License to Ill. The third is a hip hop group called MAYDAY - Take Me to Your Leader. My husband is friends with one of the guys in the group. We knew they were touring but were surprised to find their CD so we had to buy it of course!
On vinyl I picked up the Pretty in Pink soundtrack, Neil Young's Decade and John Denver's Greatest Hits for 50 cents!
I may have gotten more vinyl since last time I reported but I can't remember which I haven't bragged about. If you're wondering though I finally did open Jefferson Airplane's - Surrealistic Pillow. It was magical

GRAHAM NASH "songs for beginners" cd,1971.
got Graham's debut solo set today, so now i finally get to hear this on crystal clear cd instead of my mum's old scratched worn out vinyl....
looking foreward to listening to it tomorrow then posting my thoughts about it...just hope it lives up to the fond memories of it from the days before digital music!!!!
What Did You Buy? - LMD - 22-07-2012
Went on a binge of fairly cheap music lately. Picked up (Well, technically downloaded);
![[Image: flea_helen_burns.jpg]](http://www.cfox.com/Pics/new_rock_news/flea_helen_burns.jpg)
"Helen Burns" - Flea
Its a little messing around from Flea (the bassist of RHCP). Previews I heard sounded kinda jazzy and it was a pay-your-own price with proceeds going to solely to charity. Figured I could drop $5 on it. Pretty solid stuff, I enjoy it.
![[Image: peter_anthony_red-the_projectionist.jpg]](http://static.okayplayer.com/wp-content/thumbnails/180/130/2012/06/peter_anthony_red-the_projectionist.jpg)
"The Projectionist" - Peter Anthony Red
A little singing from Tonedeff, who is typically a rapper, under a different name with movie scores in the background. Friend recommended it to me, and with it being free, I figured why not. Also a pretty good album.
![[Image: 41eAK50x9EL._SL500_AA280_.jpg]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41eAK50x9EL._SL500_AA280_.jpg)
"Turmoil" - Zen Rising
A little EP from the rock band. Released 2 of the 3 songs for free download so I just bought the 3rd to complete the album. Vastly underrated band.
![[Image: safe_image.php?d=AQCemIDZUwwmbaig&w=155&...ery-sm.jpg]](http://external.ak.fbcdn.net/safe_image.php?d=AQCemIDZUwwmbaig&w=155&h=114&url=http%3A%2F%2Fs3.amazonaws.com%2Fstatic.noisetrade.com%2Fw%2F3572a4a9-1fce-41df-a133-f180368ba5e1%2Fredwantingblue-liveatcitywinery-sm.jpg)
"Live at City Winery" - Red Wanting Blue
A basic live performance that was recorded by the guys at Noisetrade and released for free. Great audio quality and great band makes for a great performance.
What Did You Buy? - CRAZY-HORSE - 23-07-2012
dont know any of those albums mate???
i didnt know till the other month that Flea is actually Australian either!

You know, I didn't know Flea was Australian until you told me. That's actually pretty cool. I really dig Aussies.
As for the albums, they're all pretty good and fairly cheap (I spent a total of $6 on all 4 of those). Some links if anyone's interested in checking any of them out;
"Helen Burns" - Flea
http://silverlakeconservatory.com/helen_burns/ <--- A multitude of price options
Since there's no previews there, here's a link to one of the songs on Youtube. The rest of the album follows the same basic pattern, albeit most songs are shorter.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=l9ZTyL-jKw4
"The Projectionist" - Peter Anthony Red
http://peteranthonyred.bandcamp.com/album/the-projectionist
Its a free download and you can listen to all of the songs before downloading anyway. Highlight of the album, in my opinion, is "Never Enough" in case anyone's interested.
"Turmoil" - Zen Rising
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/zenrising2 <---- Its $2 there.
http://www.amazon.com/Turmoil/dp/B006DLPQ0Y/ref=sr_shvl_album_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1343104883&sr=301-2 < --- $3 there.
But, the band released two of the three songs for free download so you only have to buy one song if you like them and don't want to spend the extra dollar or two. Free downloads;
http://www.reverbnation.com/mybandsmusic
"Live at City Winery" - Red Wanting Blue
http://noisetrade.com/redwantingblue <--- Free download
Figured I might as well post some links here since I'm guessing no one really knows much about the albums. Pretty accessible stuff and fairly cheap so if its no good, its not really consequential in any way.

Great variety this time out!
From a local store:
Gaslight Anthem - Handwritten - great little rock album -Title track - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf-rEslupnY
George Thorogood - Best Of collection
Aquisitons from my recent vacation:
Horslips - Roll Back - nice re-recorded collection of favourites - I also picked up a few re-issues of their catalog
Imelda May - Tattoo Love - has bonus live disc of Imelda
Pugwash - The Olympus Sound - can't help but hear George Harrison-like sounds when I listen to Pugwash!
Djerv - Djerv - Norewegian metal band fronted by a very strong female vocalist - not for everyone.
Pogues - Pogue Mahone - one of the post-Shane McG. albums, a good album.
Thin Lizzy - Johnny The Fox w/ bonus disc
Lots of listening.

cant go wrong with a best of Thorogood set neither IMO...
love Imelda May..
Thin Lizzy are always good value IMO
not a fan of The Pogues...
dont know Horslips,Pugwash or Djerv, but have heard the name Pugwash somewhere in my travels?!
What Did You Buy? - CRAZY-HORSE - 27-07-2012
after playing those three Beatle albums the other day, i got to thinking which, if any i dont own on cd....the answer was A Hard Days Night(i do own it on vinyl in original 'mono')
so i got it today....

after listening to the debut solo set from Angus Stone and being more than impressed with it i also got this one....

Gaslight Anthem's latest release will be purchased on my next trip with my b'day vouchers...as will an Ian Anderson solo set(as recommended by Jerome)!!!!
What Did You Buy? - CRAZY-HORSE - 27-07-2012
not a purchase as such but Corey's mate Tem, who now runs the cd shop told me he was going through his cd's on the weekend as was getting rid of the ones he either dislikes or has no musical attachment to...he said that equates to somewhere between 50-100 cds...he was going to throw them out, i suggested he goes through them again and i'll take them off his hands, said i could have them for no cost...not eager to take for nothing so i offered him $40 for the lot...he agreed to do so.
am arranging to see him next week, should be a surprise as i do not know what im getting and being as he is in his late 20's, his era of music is not mine, hoping to get a few good ones out of it, but expecting a few duds also, that said though he does apparently have quite a diverse/eclectic range of music in his collection...
time will tell i guess, but cant really go wrong for $40 IMO considering the current retail price of cds here is $30(i generally get them for between $10-$15 though).
What Did You Buy? - danielkr94 - 27-07-2012
I recently took a trip out of town where i found a really great recordstore that only sold vinyl. The temptation was simply to great for me so i ended up going on a bit of a buying-spree.
Ended up with:
Santana - Caravanserai
Santana - III
Santana - Debut Album
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Thid World - Journy To Addis
