Last night I picked up these two:
Mogwai - "Happy Songs for Happy People"
Air - "The Virgin Suicides Soundtrack"

i third that

Well I didn't purchase it, but I borrowed it from my library:

Food - Veggie [Rune Grammofon]

I recently bought two live releases, "Fan club 2001" (Metallica - a show from the Justice-tour), and "Live with Taste" (Rory Gallagher).
Especially the Metallica cd is great. Hetfield's voice is incredibly vicious, and they play a good set of songs.

I also bought Peter Gabriel's "Birdy" (soundtrack to the movie of the same name)a little while ago. It's quite difficult, it being instrumental all the way through, but quite atmospheric as well.

yesterday i picked up ornette coleman's 'free jazz - a collective improvisation by the ornette coleman double quartet' i still haven't had a chance to listen to the two tracks yet. the really interesting thing about this album (to me at least) is that coleman leads one quartet playing through the left channel while eric dolphy leads the other one through the right side.

I've never been able to get into jazz. It's nice to hear live, but not on a cd.

it's not something i generally put on when i'm hanging out with friends, but in the right conditions nothing tops it

So I take it your not planning on picking up a copy of the penguin guide any time soon?



Maybe I should just order you a copy anyway...you know, for conversion purposes.

Past 2 weeks:

ALOHA - ("Here Comes Everyone") [Album]
THROBBING GRISTLE - "(TG+)" [Box]
COIL - ("Musick To Play In The Dark, Vol. 1") [Album]
REVOLUTIONARY ENSEMBLE - ("And Now") [Album]

I oppose.

Also I bought Forever Changes and What's Goin On.
