What Did You Buy?

[Jerome]

Can't remember whether this was the first piece of music I ever bought or not - might have been Floyd's 'Meddle' album. But when I heard this on the radio I just had to have it in my hands. And it has not aged at all. Superb piece of work - Just listen to the individual orchestral element in this  - bloody marvellous. And then of course the choir comes in and blows the whole thing away. An eargasm in every sense of the word.

I didn't buy anything but my gorgeous step-daughters came over the other day when I was out (and without Dani knowing what they were doing) and they went into my music room and noticed my list of "to purchase" albums on a whiteboard,
well, because between us (Dani and I) have had a pretty crappy year they decided to cheer us up a bit, they paid for a car service on Dani's car and bought me several cds from my "to purchase" list,
heres what they turned up with today before I went to work...I know they meant well but I did "tell them off" for purchasing them, they have more important things to do with their money IMO,(one is purchasing a house, the other has a 14 month old daughter), but I thanked them anyway....
and yes, it did bring a smile to my face

they treat me nicer than my own bloody kids (who only want to see me when they want something!)

Gift Card purchases today:

cd store had a "3 for $20" deal happening on selected cds so I picked these ones up:

     

   


the four Jackson albums will sit nicely next to the other two I own plus a compilation.
the Cohen, pretty sure our resident Cohen-phile MH wasn't a big fan of these two albums but I could be wrong?

also, picked up this one below, 2cd set of the gig plus dvd of the show(which is what I bought it for)

Jeff Lynne's ELO "wembley or bust" 2017 live gig

^^^ I love AJ's Under The Influence album!

God bless you and him always!!!

i went out shopping with Dani and LJ (one of her daughters) today.
I wasn't going to go but LJ offered to buy us lunch,
hey, who turns down a free lunch LOL.
anyway I took the risk of contracting Corona, no coughing or spluttering as yet though....

which they were doing girl things I gravitated to the local music store
and looked through the $5 discount bin.
picked up 5 albums for $20 as that was the deal.

 

BOBBY LONG  "a winter tale"
I remember someone on the forum mentioning him at some point
and being on discount I thought I would give him a go,
going to be a surprise because ive never heard him



BEN HARPER & THE INNICENT CRIMINALS "burn to shine"
big fan but hard to find artist here



NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS "from her to eternity"
their debut album, for some reason ive never bought it



WILLIE NELSON  "for the good times: a tribute to Ray Price"
remember hearing this and posting it five or so years ago,
as you know, im a huge fan of his and couldnt resist the discount bin buy



MICHAEL KIWANUKA "home again"
big fan, quality artist and I couldn't go far wrong with it at $5.
