I'm going to pick up the new Alicia Keys. I've heard a few of the cuts and it's awesome!

DG

dunno yet.

usually i buy them impulsively. i rarely go to a store with the thought of buying a new cd.....

The 5-CD Johnny Cash box set 'Cash Unearthed.' I can't wait.

Ooh ooh ooh! This this this!

Music is evil.
It makes me hum.

Man of La Mancha, broadway 2002 edition.

Maybe Linda Eder's cd that has her edition of I, Don Quioxte on it.

Why? Because I love most of the songs in that musical, and I haven't been able to find good versions on the net.

Since I only buy 1 cd about every 3 years, I am about due anyway.

Methinks it'll be the Cash "Unearthed" and Slayer "Soundtrack to the Apocalypse" box sets...

Flaming Lips - Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell EP. If I still had a job, I'd already own it...

For sure I´ll pick up the new
Laika CD "Wherever I Am I Am What Is Missing"

Great music, anyone else knows / likes this band?

No. Who is Laika and what makes them good? (European, I assume?)

LAIKA

Interesting. I'll have to check it out. I think probably I'd laik it.

Laika´s song "Bad Times" is probably the funniest
thing I´ve ever heard concerning a computer virus.

Laika is really good. I've heard quite a bit of their stuff and enjoyed it all very much. I've been meaning to pick up one of their albums for a while now (leaning towards Good Looking Blues), along with the other 1000+ titles on my "list of CDs that I want to buy"....

-Mr. Lister

I'm gonna try out a Linkin Park CD for the 1st time.

I wouldn't do that if I were you...

Yeah. That's not really a good idea.

no shite fellas.

Linkin Park - Crrrrap?

Kay! Thanks for the heads up. Most anything nowadays sucks. I was hoping ot find something decent.

i DID just buy Tenacious D's album. FUNNY!

Lars...

Two recommendations if your looking for something heavy to listen to:

Karp - Self Titled LP

Today Is The Day - In the Eyes Of God

I guarantee you will not regret purchasing either of these fine recordings....

Which begs the question: what is out there right now that is worth buying?

Anyone care to submit a Top Ten Albums of 2003? (Rammer, I'm looking at you.)I need to expand my horizons.

Sheeps,

I have to go out for a bit right now. When I get back, I'll cook up a list for ya...

Rammer? I don't even know her!

Sheepy-

Here's a list of CDs I own and recommend, all released (in the U.S.) in 2003:

Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
Belle & Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress
Yo La Tengo - Summer Sun
Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
Broadcast - Ha-Ha Sound
Supergrass - Life On Other Planets
Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man - Out Of Season
Spiritualized - The Complete Works, Vol. 1
Stella Luna - Stargazer EP

Next CD would probably be some Porcupine Tree stuff. Just been to London to hear them, and I would like a bit more from their back catalogue in my collection.

That one I´ll have to put on my list!

I'm trying to get into music DVDs but there be slim pickins still.

Thanks for the Sun Kil Moon tip Rimmy, I had no idea that Kozelek had undertaken a new project. I'll pick it up tomorrow.

Been looking for the 3-cd spread we were listening to at LF03, but ain't found it anywhere!

Just wait 'till after CES '04 my friend, the tide's changing. There's cool shit on the horizon!

DG

Yeah, definitely pick it up! It's really good. I think Red House Painters are no more, but Sun Kil Moon pretty much picks up where RHP left off. Koz is still playing with the same drummer, and the RHP bassist plays on a few tracks as well.

CES '04 = Consumer Electronics Show 2004?

I just got hosed from Tower Records - they over charged me and then hassled me for asking for the $5 back. I returned trudging through the snow (5 minutes, but still) and never a "thank you" or an "I apologize."

I bought "best of Bowie" and a New Order live DVD.

Soon come for more music DVDs.

Yessir .... I'll be there all week long. I love that show!

DG

I'm watching the "best of Bowie." I'm happy with it. It's not great, but it's pretty cool.

Porcupine tree? How are they? Aren't they prog. rock of some sort?

My next CD will be Dream Theater's new album.

Actually, Lars, if you like heavy stuff *and* like Rush, do you have DT's "Scenes From a Memory"? Mike Portnoy's drumming is quite like Neil Peart's except for a little tighter and less fluid.

I guess you could say so. Sort of melancholic, dreamy rock with an occasional rough, noisy guitar sound to wake you up.

Anyone here heard of a band called "MATMOS"???

A friend told me their last CD is great.

I've heard the name quite often, but don't know anything about them/him/her.
