Play Listen Repeat Vol. 6
Hey folks,
Amazing comments last week on the production post. Thanks for the ideas. I'm sure we'll continue that discussion in the coming weeks.
So this week I'm wondering something else. My friend Jen owns a small vintage clothing and goodies store, where she also sells used vinyl. I just bought two records that I used to listen to all the time: St. Dominic's Preview by Van Morrison, and Meat is Murder by The Smiths. So good.
It got me thinking that it might be interesting to ask you listeners to share your most recent music purchases. Along with those two above, my most recent CD purchase was Paul McCartney's Chaos and Creation in the Backyard.
You?
best,
mz

My most recent CD purchase was Charlotte Martin's album "Stromata". (One of my pandora finds, actually!)
My most recent iTunes purchases--a little bit after I bought the CD--were three songs by PLID. "Too Coold to Dance", "Pretty Obvious" and "Fast Machines".

I'm rather disconnected from purchasing music these days. I listen to Pandora and NPR.
Music artists compelling enough to buy in recent history insluce:
Keiko Matsui - White Owl (Pandora find)
Amos Lee - Amos Lee
Feist - Mushaboom

the last CD I bought was the newest from Godsmack, but I was looking to buy a good Led Zep CD and maybe a Boston one if anyone has suggestions.
Posted by: krista at February 13, 2007 11:10 AM
Urkraft by Thryfing. Really excited about getting this in.
mz, i thought i'd throw ya this site because for me its my constant firefox tabbed companion to pandora. I'm sure you have a massive CD collection and while i've been looking for stuff like The Love Letter Band, and have trouble, i always think "hey maybe someone on Lala will have it.
it's a very cheap site to trade cd's on. think netflix for cd trading: lala.com
anyway, i don't work for them or anything, i'd just like to see more music up to trade, haha.

Almost all of my recent purchases have been from artists I discovered on Pandora.com. The only exceptions are CDs by Liz Phair and Alanis Morissette to add more recent works. Even those were driven by Pandora because I hadn't heard their recent stuff often enough to decide whether or not to purchase it.
CD's I've purchased recently
Agent Sparks - Red Rover
Citizens Here And Abroad - Waving Not Shouting
The Sounds - Dying To Say This To You
The New Pornographers - Electric Version
Ok Go - Ok Go
CD's I've recently recieved through lala.com
Agent Sparks - Not So Merry
The Arts And Sciences - Hopeful Monsters
The Duke Spirit - Cuts Across The Land
The Start - Death Via Satellite
The Start - Shakedown
Pandora.com is driving all of my music decisions these days.

Neal Morse - "?"
Glass Hammer - "Perelandra"
Both Pandora finds. I was unaware that such a thing as Christian Prog existed before Pandora. Thanks guys.

Nora Jones/Not Too Late, I give 3.5 stars
a good studio but will not go down as her finest sessions. Her lyrics are to grasp at first but eventually unfold into a fairly tasty dish of artist reflection.
Yusuf aka Cat Stevens / Another Cup 4 stars
I'm so glad the Cat is back and hopefully he'll stay around for this generation. His music is as charming as it was then in his hay day of the early seventies.
John Mayer / Continuum 5 stars
I cant get enough of this session. John Mayer is has a strong and a brilliant reflection as artist a good charismic vocalist. With out a doubt a hit maker

Diecast: Tearing Down Your Blue Skies
4/5 awesome metal album, more origional then some imo

An Other Cup
Yusuf Islam
Refreshing yet nostalgic
His voice and craft are so delightfully intact
Simply beautiful, genuine music, even catchy in spots (Heaven/True Love is perfection)
By whatever name you know Yusuf, this album is a triumph and hopefully a sign of more to come
Couldn't find "Yusuf" or "Yusuf Islam" on the radio search tool....
