chesilbeach Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Intrigued to know what people are buying and downloading, so thought I'd add this topic. I bought two CD's today, Black Holes and Revelations and The Resistance both by Muse for a bargain £4 each from a local independent record shop. I must admit, I usually download music nowadays and these were on my wish list, but more expensive to download on iTunes, so the bargain price was worth it! Quote
Mab Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 The last CD I bought was Hearts & Minds by Seth Lakeman, the last thing I downloaded from iTunes was The Back Room by Editors I only buy CD's now if it's something I particularly want otherwise most of my music is downloaded from either iTunes or Amazon.

Coffin Nail Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 I bought a 70's compilation in the supermarket for £3. Just because I wanted Uptown Top Rankin by Althea and Donna. Quote

I think the most recent thing I picked up was 'Brothers' by the Black Keys. My friend also burned me a CD of Yeasayer, Phoenix and MGMT tunes . Quote
Chrissy Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Nice thread idea! I recently bought myself a copy of Joni Mitchell's 'Blue'. It was very old album when I was listening to it in my teens, but it is still truly sublime and wonderful. To listen to the songs on there again actually made me teary ~ and I hadn't forgotten any of the words! Quote
Weave Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 The Black Keys ~ Brothers, its a fantastic album Quote
chesilbeach Posted July 24, 2010 Author Posted July 24, 2010 Nice thread idea! Thanks Chrissy I recently bought myself a copy of Joni Mitchell's 'Blue'. It was very old album when I was listening to it in my teens, but it is still truly sublime and wonderful. To listen to the songs on there again actually made me teary ~ and I hadn't forgotten any of the words! Aww ... just like Emma Thompson in Love Actually Quote
Chrissy Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Thanks Chrissy Aww ... just like Emma Thompson in Love Actually That scene absolutely does me every time! The combination of Joni Mitchell, and Emma Thompson's powerful non verbal emotional meltdown ~ *gulp* Quote
chesilbeach Posted July 24, 2010 Author Posted July 24, 2010 I've never listened to any Joni Mitchell properly, but I've heard a few songs on soundtracks and think I might like her - any recommendations of which albums to buy? Just loading my new Muse CDs into iTunes and found out Black Holes and Revelations comes with a bonus DVD with the video and a live version of three of the songs Quote
Chrissy Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 My three favourite albums of hers are 'Blue', 'Clouds', and 'Ladies Of The Canyon'. 'Blue' is my particular favourite, in part because it filled a huge part of my teenage soundtrack (along with Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Fairport Convention and many more!). Maybe having a dip in on Youtube and get a feel for which era of hers you like best. I'm a right hippy at heart:blush:, so I lean toward the folksy at times. I feel old! B) Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 I don't buy many music downloads or CD's. I prefer to spend the money on books or DVDs. But the last CD I bought was Nightwork by Scissor Sisters Quote
Fi. Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 The last CD's I bought were Odd Blood by Yeasayer & The Winter Of Mixed Drinks by Frightened Rabbit and the last things I downloaded were Brothers by Black Keys & Flaws by Bombay Bicycle Club Quote

Quote
Fi. Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 I would love to see them live, glad to hear they were fantastic Just downloaded a Bon Iver EP - Blood Bank - and Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear. So much for trying not to buy anything for a while! Quote
joe Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 I very rarely buy CD's but I bought the Eclipse soundtrack and love it Quote

Maybe having a dip in on Youtube and get a feel for which era of hers you like best. I'm a right hippy at heart:blush:, so I lean toward the folksy at times. I feel old! From one right hippy to another Joni is fantastic, I never get sick of her. My favourite album of hers is 'Miles Of Aisles'. It's live, double CD, has heaps of her best songs and I love the way she plays around with the vocals and chords. But 'Blue' is a superb album. The latest CD I bought, although it was a little while ago, was 'Walking On A Dream' by Empire of the Sun. I'm tempted to buy Florence and the Machine 'Lungs' Quote
busy91 Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Downloaded the live version of Stairway to Heaven performed in 1973 at Earls Court. Quote

You won't be disappointed Nice thread idea! I recently bought myself a copy of Joni Mitchell's 'Blue'.

To listen to the songs on there again actually made me teary ~ and I hadn't forgotten any of the words! 'Blue' is one of my favourite albums ever. There is something so beautiful about Joni's voice especially on this album, gives me goosebumps. I haven't bought any albums in a while, the last one I bought was Regina Spektor's 'Far' which I like a lot but not as much as 'Mary Ann Meets the Gravediggers' which is truly outstanding. Quote
my-sweetheart-is-drunk Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 I finally bought "I am Sasha Fierce" by Beyonce on CD which is freakin' awesome and the True Blood OST in a 2 for a tenner deal. The True Blood sountrack is fantastic and I don't usually like even countryish music. I downloaded "Puppy Toy" by Tricky from Nokia music last night as had been meaning to for ages. If I like an album, I buy the CD if I can get it. If it's just a couple of songs on an album I download them. Quote
Raven Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Dream Away, by George Harrison - a download from Amazon's MP3 store. I've been looking for this for years, it's the music they play over the end credits of Time Bandits - happy days! Quote
Coffin Nail Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Rum Sodomy & the Lash The Pogues Love that album. If you get the chance to listen to Red Roses for Me, its just as good. Quote
