i went to one of my local stores to get pj's greatest hits and they didn't have it due to some problems with the case apparently. so i bought;

U2's new album
creed's greatest hits (with dvd that has their videos and some live performances but i'm a completist).

u2's album is top notch and is very much old school U2 and bono sounds so youthful. the edge is a minimalist guitarist and he doesn't show off but there are some killer riffs. if there is a critcism about U2 in general its that the album has a constant pace and there isn't a heavier song to get the listener going again. "sometimes you don't have to make it on your own" is a fantastic and emotional song about his relationship with his late father and vertigo sounds like an album version to me.

I need How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb now.

I also got U2's new album... the book/dvd/cd version
and while I was there I got Neil Young's Rust Never Sleeps
and drooled over Live Aid & the Beatles Anthology. Some day, perhaps...

I got Pink Moon by Nick Drake last week and I love it.

i would like to get live aid although its too bad it doesn't have the zep performances but it still has queen and U2. i must get the seinfeld dvd's first, does anyone want to buy surprise a christmas present? lol

next trip down i'll pick up rearviewmirror and one of the 10 albums i've got my eye on.

I got that recently too... it's awesome.

The only bad thing about it is being so short, about 30 minutes of music only. Still a great album.

Oh and I got Arround the Sun last week too.

Within the last two weeks.

The last two weeks -- CD's and DVD's.

Live Aid DVD - Various Artists
Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival - Various Artists
MTV (Un)Plugged - Bruce Springsteen
Strange Pleasure - Jimmie Vaughan
Velvet Underground & Nico - Velvet Underground
Emotive - A Perfect Circle
Electric Sweat - The Mooney Suzuki
20,000 Streets Under The Sky - Marah

Live Aid is great, but it has it's bad moments. Only it's bad moments with certain artists because I just don't like them, but the whole concert is amazing and for a great, worthy cause. Eric Clapton is fantastic especially since he played White Room for the first time in 16 years! The Who are great, but their complete set wasn't show because some of it was lost, Bob Dylan wasn't at his best but good to me nonetheless, Dire Straits were very good, and a lot of other acts. Worth the money.

The Crossroads Guitar Festival is excellent! The interaction between Eric and his friends such as: Buddy Guy, BB King, JJ Cale, Jimmie Vaughan, etc. is priceless. It's great to see Jonny Lang's performance of Give Me Up Again. Doyle Bramhall rocks the place with Green Light Girl, and it's cool to see Eric watching from the side of the stage and really enjoying it. Dan Tyminski is very cool. I've got to buy something from this guy. Hint: He's the guy who does I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow from O' Brother Where Art Thou. And of course Eric is fantastic in everything he does.

MTV Plugged is the first time it's on DVD with a few new tracks. Bruce Springsteen in fine form as always.

Strange Pleasure was Jimmie Vaughan's first solo cd (he was in the Fabulous Thunderbirds), and it came out SRV's death. Pretty good cd, but I just love Six Strings Down and had to have the cd. Got it used to.

I only had VU's Loaded before this cd. I had heard a lot of tracks from it, really liked it, and thought it was time to get it. Even though this is usually most people's favorite VU album, or at least they prefer it over Loaded, I still have to go with Loaded.

Emotive by A Perfect Circle is my first APC album. I picked up a sample dvd that had a song, "Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm of The War Drums" playing as well. It gave a taste of both new releases. I liked the song a lot and was curious about their covers as well, so I bought the album. I really like it myself. For example, Imagine isn't as good as Lennon's original, but it's good I think. I like hearing the different take on the songs.

Electric Sweat by The Mooney Suzuki. The Mooney Suzuki are a great, young garage rock band. I like this album a lot.

Marah's album isn't as great as some made it out to be, but I like it. I can easily see in their stylistic approach how Bruce Springsteen is a major influence (they've been lucky enough to appear onstage with Bruce and he likes them), but they have a long way to go to be as good as him. The album just has it's weak parts that can't hold my attention. Still not bad.

Don't we have this thread?

Used to.

Roman Candle / Self-Titled / Either/Or - Elliott Smith. (All 9.99 at Newbury Comics! Best place ever!) It's all great stuff. I love it.

Last albums i bought were

Mogwai- Happy songs for HAppy people
Pretty Girls Make Graves- New romance

I enjoy both albums very much.

I have had both for a couple weeks now. I'm taking it easy on the cd buying because i'm buying an IPOD in less then a week and that is going to put my budget back a bit but i think it will be worth it.

most recent...
pj's greatest hits
hot snakes-audit in progress:good punk rock

I want U2's new album and Pearl Jam's hits compilation (which still isn't ut here).

scissor sisters

I saw these guys live back in March and they definitely know how to put on a rock show. They actually came out with a newer album than Electric Sweat a couple of months ago, but I have yet to get it.

And by the way, Electric Sweat has gotta be one of the coolest names for an album ever

Do you have the ehanced version of Electric Sweat? I think the footage with it is kind of funny, but it shows if they are on a true stage that they would put on a good rock show.

I didn't know they have a new album out. I'll have to get it sometime. And I agree, Electric Sweat is a pretty cool name for an album.

what do you think of the remixed versions of some of the ten songs? as per the crush thread how bout e-babies? lmao

i think that the songs sound great.
what crush thread??

cool i'll pick it up when its out down here. crush thread in general discussion forum!
