Been buying and receiving donations recently. Very strange but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Bought the following:

Rosewell Rudd - Rosewell Rudd
B.B. King - The Ultimate Collection
Joseph Arthur - Our Shadows Will Remain
Kasabian - Kasabian
50 Foot Wave - Golden Ocean
Futureheads - The Futureheads
The Sound Track Of Our Lives - Original Vol. 1
Steve Lacy - The Gap
Monade - A few Steps More
The Decemberists - Picaresque
Incubus - Make Yourself
Mary Chapin Carpenter - Come On Come On
Beck - Guero
Morrissey - Live At Earls Court
Concrete Blonde - The Essential


Received the following as donations:

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies to Paralyze
Louis XIV - The Best Secrets Are Kept
Mando Diao - Hurricane Bar
Acetate - This Band Makes Me Feel
Eluvium - Talk Amongst The Trees
Eisley - Room Noises
Gratitude - Gratitude

what'd you think of Bloc Party?

Led Zeppelin - How the West was Won.

They're okay. Not sure I'd buy them on my own but I'll definitely give them air time.

Of the donations I really like Mando Diao and Louis XIV. QOTSA is okay too. I'd have probably bought it on my own eventually. It just wasn't high on my list since I heard of all the personnel changes.

Yeah, I think they could have found a drummer who was... uh... at least somewhere close to being as good as Dave Grohl.

Kraftwerk - "The Mix"
Emperor - "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk"
Nasum - "Shift"
Napalm Death - "Enemy of the Music Business"
Nile - "In Their Darkened Shrines"
Scorn - "Gyral"

Slint - Spiderland
Nick Cave - Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Donkey :P

What were you thinking? You paid money for that?

Sorry, I just take issue w/ Scorn -- it's one of the few musical projects to which I say outright, "BORING!!!"

not a very good choice, I'm afraid... I won't say that those are bad albums, but it's got nothing of the former greatness that Cave has shown... It's more soul-ish and much less dark... I guess they are consistent and ok albums, but nothing really clicked with me... I'm afraid Cave lost it a bit, because I'm not so keen on what I've heard of the 3 last records more or less...
