...And I'm REALLY bored! So, How about this... What was the last CD you bought (title and artist), and what made you choose it? For me it was Boston: Greatest Hits. I bought it because I loaned my other copy to a friend of my brother's and he 'lost' it. So, Who's next?
It was the Slightly Mad German CD single by um, I forget who, but it's cool and has 'Lost Opportunity'. Before that I got the Hollywood version of NOTW, and prior to that my 3 latest card sleeves.. FG, TG and J.
Wow... Two cheap shots at poor ol' Billy in one week from you! LOL!
He says "Son, can you get me a tourniquet? My brain's commin' out of my nose! Drove my car off the street, threw me outta my seat, and now there's a tag on my toe..."
to answer dan's question:
The Streets "A Grand Don't Come For Free"
and
Keane "Hopes And Fears"
both on the same day
What made me chose them?
Keane: I like their single and the album is alright but not really great. good new english band though.
The Streets: i'm asking that myself. i suppose it was just a "weird-mood-purchase" cos i actually don't listen to that kind of music.
But i love skinners accent and i love the song "dry your eyes" and "fit but you know it" is fun listening to as well.
Weezer - Blue album (deluxe ediion)
The regular edition is one of my favourite CD's ever - like the best bits of Cheap Trick, the Beack Boys and Nirvana all packed into 40 minutes. The extra disc on this version has a few B-sides that are at least the equal of anything on the album and some interesting rare stuff.
N.E.R.D - Fly or Die
I heard 'She likes to move'and the title track onn the radio, and on the recommendation of a housemate I decided to take a chance on this. I'm glad I did. A bit repetitive, perhaps, but Pharell & co have crafted a very interesing soul-rock-R&B- latin sound, quite unlike most of thier Hip-hop work. Even a guest spot from those tubes out of Good Charlotte can't spoil it.
CD's wise it was Katie Melua's Call Off The Search.
DVD's wise it was Rush - Live In Rio and The Who's The Kids Are Alright (both of which are excellent btw...)
Dave
last cd I bought I think was the 2 cd retrospective from Jackson Browne called The Next Voice You Hear. :) Why? I think he's a great singer and this GH collection was a good start for me since I already have Saturate Before Using and Running on Empty.
Sonja-- What are some of you're fave Rufus tracks? I saw him in Columbus, Ohio in February! :D Awesome stuff, I think he's brilliant, gorgeous, and a genius songwriter!
You should be proud of me, Savannah - I converted someone into being a fan already. He likes Rufus' stuff so much that I let him borrow the mixed cd you gave me and I still haven't gotten it back - LOL
I should brush up on by cheap shot / parody skills. Dan Your parody is much better than mine.
However will Billy ever learn to keep his car on the road. Three "off-road" accidents in two years ... I'm glad I don't live on Long Island. No wonder Ms Brinkley is worried about her daughter riding with him.
Alli- :D Yay! hehe Another fan conversion. :) I lent my friend William my 3 cds last week and he copied them for himself as well. He even has a friend who knows Rufus! :O lol
lol Savannah...the Rufus fans are making an invasion... ;^)
Since I let Chris borrow the cd he always sings me "Hallelujah" now, as he knows it's one of my faves - LOL
Its actually 11pm on Sunday now but the last CDs I bought were last weekend:-
Beyonce - Dangerously In Love
Emma Bunton - Free Me
Alison Moyet - Singles
Simple Minds - Best Of
God bless Music Zone.
I think the last CD i bought was Dashboard Confessional's new album, "A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar." I bought it in about february, which is a long time ago. I've been a fan of theirs for about 9 months or so, & in a little less than 2 weeks i'm seeing them live in concert :-)
Awww Alli, that's so sweet. :) and yes the Rufus army will conquer the music world! muwhahahhaha
and Dan, try out these sound bites on fye and see if you like any of them. :) Rufus is sorta like Jeff Beck, but imo much cooler! :D hehe link song #10 link songs # 2, 4, 8, 12. (his latest and imo greatest album) link songs # 1, 3, 6, 12. (2nd album)
(1st album)- link songs # 1, 3, 7, 9, 12.
Last two cd's I bought were used copies of
John Denver's Greatest Hits and Greatest Hits II.
I have a list of albums I've once owned on a tape etc, that I now want to own in DVDA/CD. So my purchases are very much tied to it.
Sonja-- What are some of you're fave Rufus tracks? I saw him in Columbus, Ohio in February! :D Awesome stuff, I think he's brilliant, gorgeous, and a genius songwriter!
"Across The Universe"!!!
Not his own song but the best version of it!
"Imaginary Love" is also one of my favourites.
He's quite unknown here in Germany. I only heard of him because he sang with Moby and Sean Lennon on the John Lennon Tribute in 2001.
Kris Kristofferson "Repossessed/Third World Warrior" and Rita Coolidge "Delta Lady Anthology"
Two two-cd sets from artists who were married at one time. I guess one made me want to buy the other.
I am heavily into Kristofferson at all times and I have been in a mood to listen to Rita lately.
Kristofferson's set was recently re-released as a remastered two cd set, so I had to have it and the Rita set is the first real extensive overview of her work, also remastered.
