Plenty threads on new music and what people are listening to now, but what was the last album (old or new) that everyone bought.
The last one I bought was a first press of the Small Faces self titled second album on Immediate records. Bizarrely it appeared in a search for punk vinyl on eBay and I managed to bag it for the princely sum of £18, given it's a pretty rare record these days that's a good price - assuming it's a decent copy.
I buy 99% of my music on bandcamp..Really enjoying Ocean Bridges by Damu The Fudgemonk, Archie Shepp and Raw Poetic…
Just listened to learning to breath and tulips and they sounded pretty good.Quote:

Trying to find stuff I missed first time round and the last download I bought was Fallow by The Weakerthans.
Inhaler - It Won’t Always Be Like This
Bought two Martha Reeves & The Vandellas albums of Discogs the other day. Heat Wave & Dance Party.Quote:

It's taken me years to get hold of that Leatherface album at a price I was willing to pay, now I finally have the full collection of their studio albums. Never get tired of listening them, brilliant band.
Springtime In New York Box Set ( Bob Dylan ).
Myles Kennedy - The Ides of March
Yeah although it can get kind of addictive :greengrin Had to pull myself back a bit as I was buying anything and everything. Its brilliant for opening yourself up to new types of music and its pretty rewarding knowing the artists are getting their fair share (especially on the commission free days). 3/4 of the music Ive bought on bandcamp is a direct result of me finding the music there with no idea who the artist was previously.Quote:

Dark Matters, by The Stranglers.
Pre-ordered to get the limited blood red vinyl. IMO its their best album since Rattus Norvegicus. Superb.
probably my favourite singer, so versatile. His original solo album is pretty acoustic, really greatQuote:

This thread has got me purchasing again after I’d weaned myself off! Just got Horishi Yoshimura’s - Green (SFX) album. The Green album is an absolute masterpiece. Ambient but joyful and uplifting in equal measures. Can’t recommend enough if you want something to chill to.
The SFX version i just got ive not listened to but from what i have has some field recordings added. I’d go with the original as it’s so clean and spacious.
I racked my brain for ages yesterday, and i still cant remember the last album i bought. Everything i own now is digital, i think i last physically bought an album early 90s.:confused:
New Alabama 3 album, just now.😆
Mexican Institite of Sound - Disco Popular. New album out now as well, Distrito Federal.

I drive alot with work and although I use spotify alot my car still has a CD player and thats what I use to listen to music when im travelling, currenly have as many Cds as Ive ever had buying them on ebay and charity shops. catching back up with my youth :greengrin last albums I bought The The Infected and Fat Pop Paul Wellers latest offering.
Got Space Africa’s ‘Honest Labour’ album…Really enjoying it after a few listens..Hard to define though if you like Burial I’d say it’s worth checking out.
Last album I bought? Madonna - Celebration on iTunes. Superb. She's still so hot these days too!! :drool:
Got myself the new Amyl & The Sniffers album "Comfort To Me" and the Chats album from last year "High Risk Behaviour"
Both really good pub rock/garage punk albums and both bands clearly influenced by the likes of the Cosmic Psychos, early Hard-ons stuff, The Onyas and Radio Birdman.
Great band name what ever they sound like :greengrinQuote:

You can also get a whiff off Girl Band (best band bar non to come out of Ireland in recent years) in bits as its produced by their drummer.
Alchemy by Dire Straits, which I think I bought in 1986.
Then Jason and Kylie released 'Especially For You' and I knew music was dead, so I got other interests.
I can't imagine a life without music.Quote:

I also play music (mainly bagpipes) and people are always amazed that I never practice at home, but I don't have too. If I'm learning new stuff it's in my head non stop and my fingers will often be going too - on a pen, against my leg, wherever.
I hate to think what will come into my head if the music ever makes way.
Music has been the most important non family thing in my life. Just lately its got a new lease of life, as, in my old age I'm now loving stuff I ridiculed as a "too cool for that crap" teenager.Quote:

The Stage Names by Okkervil River. Didn't think I liked them much but their stuff really grows on you.Quote:

Screeching Weasel's second album Boogada Boogada Boogada, on the the lookout records reissue from '92. Quite a tricky record to get at decent price. I stuck a bid in of £26 on eBay and expected it to go for at least double that or more, pleasantly surprised to find I'd won [emoji16]Quote:

My mates pretty prolific and always seems to have two or three projects on go. Generally left field electronic music. This is his latest release which Id say is the best thing hes done...Walked up & over the mountain behind my gaff with this in my ears & it was an absolute joy https://countersunk.bandcamp.com/alb...-moon-junction
The Professionals new album, SNAFU, is brilliant
I'll need to check that out, always liked their first album.Quote:
