A bit of a variation on the "What are you listening to?" theme, I enjoy the whole process of buying music (old or new) and giving it those first few critical listens. I'd be interested to hear what others think of my acquisitions and what others are buying.

I've just been filling in a few gaps in my collection and these haven't arrived yet:

Arctic Monkeys: Whatever people say I am, that's what I'm not

Lady Gaga: Poker Face

Lenny Kravitz: Are you gonna go my way

Air: Moon Safari

Led Zeppelin: I - Remastered

Well the last cd i bought was chinese democracy by guns n roses, i tend to when i have some spare cash buy blu rays, but i would like the new slash album and my chemical romance are bringing out a new album next month that i would like too.

I find i can listen to them on you tube anyway, so i am not to worried about it.

With regards to your music i thought the Led Zeppelin one was good, the rest are not my cup of tea.

It's nearly that time of year again !! This one should go well with my choices from previous years - Connie Francis, Doris Day, Carpenters, Ella Fitzgerald, Kristen Chenoweth. Not got Maria Carey yet, I'll wait for that one to mature a few more years before considering the purchase. Merry Christmas everyone !

This is my kind of thread! Bought a few bits last Monday, haven't had a chance to listen to them yet.

Eli "Paperboy" Reed: Come and Get It! on Vinyl,
Hot Chip: We Have Remixes 4 track EP (vinyl), both from the Drift Record Shop in Totnes (very good vinyl shop, lots of more leftfield choices),
and finally, from Oxfam, the 1967 US Pressing of J.R.R Tolkien reading Poems and Songs of Middle Earth; the cover is knackered, the record looks ok but it's very dusty, doesn't look like it's ground in though, for an eye-watering TWENTY FIVE QUID!!! I tried to reason with them but the bloke refused to budge, saying their experts knew what things were worth. If I wasn't such a geek I'd have left it but it's another addition to the collection...

Last CD I bought was "Band of Joy" by Robert Plant on the day of release. "Trying" to save to upgrade my speakers so music purchases temporarily on hold (until I next walk past HMV!)

This week Ive bought and received

All of Tanya Donelly's back catalogue (2nd hand on play.com)

Rose Elinor Dougall - Without Why

and am currently waiting for

Magnetic Man - Magnetic Man

I really love buying music, especially from play.com, definitely from the second hand section! Like the OP I so spend a lot on filling up the gaps in my collection, and the second hand stuff is great to do that. In fact, I am going to go and buy some more stuff now.

Magnetic Man - Magnetic Man

Kings Of Leon - Come Around Sundown

What do you think of these 2 dave?

I've given both of them a go on Spotify and I am not quite convinced yet. I was expecting something special from Magnetic Man. Another listen or two needed perhaps?

Latest albums I've bought are:-

Aqualung (25th Anniversary edition) - Jethro tull

2112 - Rush

The Betrayed - Lost Prophets

This Is War - 30 Seconds To Mars

I rarely buy stuff as a new release. I'm in no hurry so will wait for deals. There's so much stuff that I want to get into I just don't have time to listen to never mind getting around to buy it.

The Who - Who's Next (SHM-SACD remaster - a big mistake, because it's the only SHM-SACD I own, and its SQ now makes everything else sound cloth-eared)

Antony and The Johnsons - Swanlights

Tricky - Mixed Race

David Bowie - StationToStation 3-CD Special Edition Box Set (aka a re-release of the initial, and grim-sounding, '80s AAD CD and a butchered, ham-fisted remaster of the Live at Nassau Coliseum '76 bootleg - someone at EMI should be knee-capped)

Bryan Ferry - Olympia

Neil Young - Le Noise (just NY + his 'geetars' and Daniel Lanois producing/tweaking - very effective, rather wonderful and something of a revelation IMHO)

LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening

Afro Celt Sound System - Volume 3: Further In Time

Stan Getz and JoÆo Gilberto - Getz / Gilberto (SACD remaster)

Bill Frisell - Beautiful Dreamers

Jan Garbarek and The Hilliard Ensemble - Officium Novum

Charles Munch / Boston Symphony Orchestra - Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique (SACD remaster)

Fritz Reiner / Boston Symphony Orchestra - Richard Strauss: Tone Poems (SACD remaster))

Charles Mackerras / Scottish Chamber Orchestra - Mozart: Symphonies 38-41 (SACD)

I've recently got round to (finally) ordering some Nine Horses CD's - in particular Money For All, which is a David Sylvian / Burnt Friedman collaboration. Interesting! Amazingly well recorded. A must for Sylvian fans.
