Wow, Jag and I agree on something musically for once!
I have Athur's CTWIF, picked it up for $1. A nice find. Not my favorite cd, but defintely a good one.

See, it's got to be good if we both agree on it. ;) Has Igor's endorsement too. Rhett, you got the best deal though! I was just happy to find it and it's in excellent condition with an elaborate digipak case and booklet.

Man, though, it's hard to look through the CDS that are up high or near the ground. It kind of makes me crazy, so I end up going to DCCD and spending more money, but feeling less frustrated.
-
joseph arthur is good live too. i saw him open for tracy chapman this summer, too bad he only got to play for less than 30 mins. i wish i had seen him at his shows every 2 weeks at the metro cafe back in may-june 1999.
-
Wish I would have seen him at Fletcher's last year. Forget why I had to miss that show. I've seen him a couple times on the late night talk shows and was surprised at the full sound he got for just one or two guys.
-
first time I saw him was opening for Coldplay up in NY a few years back, he really wowed the crowd.
-
I saw a Buzzcocks cd (import) at Cd Cellar for $7.99, marked "bargain price", not in the import section...if anyone is interested in shopping.
-
was just in san fran this week and all I can say is wow - went to Amoeba and Rasputin and went a little nuts - I think I dropped about $200 on a ton of CDs - all second hand - the ones I can remember are
Grant McLennan - Horsebreaker star
Shane McGowan - The Snake
Cinerama - Holiday
New Waterboys album
new Pernice Bros
Ed Harcourt - here be monsters
Robert Forster solo album
The Coral
2 Black Box Recorder albums
A Calexico album (not the new one)
Clearlake - Cedars
South - the new one
and a couple more I can't remember - Rasputin is a really good store but Amoeba in SF is absolutely out of this world - I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.......

Superman in Spanish.......
Do you have all the other cinerama albums?
And what do you think of Souths new one?
-
Do you have all the other cinerama albums?
yup, love em - seen em twice at the Black Cat
And what do you think of Souths new one?
haven't listened to it yet - quite curious to hear what its sounds like - I know they toured with Elbow a few years ago and I like elbow so we'll see

SNAP, for cinerama. I think there is meant to be a new album soon as well.
and South also supported Cornelius at the 930 about a year or so ago. Let us know what you think of the new album when you get around to it. You do have their first one, right?
-
and South...You do have their first one, right?
no, of course if you'd be willing to burn me a copy..... :D
obviously I could try and burn stuff for you in return

Sure thing..... When is your next show? Going to the White Stripes?
-
Amazon: Used $3.00...
Galaxie 500: This Is Our Music.
-

not going to White Stripes, not sure when my next show is, and dropping a ton on money on these CDs isn't going to help - I'm thinking of going to Billy Bragg etc and also thinking of maybe going to Damien Rice Dec 6 or maybe the Waterboys who I think are playing the same night
also might go to the Escovedo benefit on Sunday
-
Ok, well non of the above for me. Infact the only things I have tickets for are tomorrow and Ted Leo. I guess I will be at the buzzcocks and gomez as well though, but they are a while off.
I could post it, if you like? Or go for a beer?

i am starting to think we could get along after all. I am super excited for the Ted Leo show!
-
lets grab a drink - I may try and go to Ted Leo - we have something that afternoon but if its at the Black Cat I'm time enough getting there at 10 or 11
-
Ted Leo is a Saturday, so doors are at 9.30......
I dont know, but I wouldnt be totally amazed if it sold out.
But there may be a lot of Christmas parties at that time to distract people.
-
sounds good - your mailbox is full - South, Beulah and anything else you think is good (maybe some Ted Leo?) would be great - mp3s are fine with me and I can put your stuff on mp3
-
Originally posted by brennser:

I just undertook a pruning exercise..... It should be good again now.
How about them, plus:
Felt
The Tyde
The High Strung
Adam Green
Postal Service
Fruitbats
Carter USM
Richard Hell
You can fit around 10 albums worth of Mp3s on a CD, right?

I was there a couple weeks ago for the first time. On a Friday, and I had all day. It was glorious (I'm assuming it's packed on weekends). But it almost made my head spin...I got through the 'new arrivals' used bin, and the 'regular' used bins separated out by artist, but just didn't have the energy to hit the $1 and $2 bins....and dudes, they had BOXES underneath the bins! Mother of god...

I know what you mean - I was literally giddy - and all the beautiful vinyl, new vinyl too - I only had 90 mins so I was flying through the place

yeah, the pains of growing up in the bay area. my favourite store growing up was streetlight records in san jose, and it was just like that. . .rows of used cds, with boxes more underneath the rows. and they gave pretty good prices if you wanted to sell.
if i remember correctly, the only bay area amoeba used to be in berserkley, along with the only rasputin. it was only 5 years or so ago that amoeba moved into san francisco. . and now rasputin is a chain in the bay area too. the berserkley store is also excellent, at least it used to be, but i haven't been in several years.

You scored just with those, my friend!

By any chance, has anybody given a listen to Brand New's latest album, "Deja Entendu"? It straddles the line of emo-pop and indie rock, and does some pretty interesting and unexpected things. They decided to release their most emo songs as singles though, in order to ensure that they'll never be taken seriously.
-
Went to CD Game Exchange yesterday, and made quite a score. For 95 cents (4 cd's, so 24 cents each on average), tax included, I got:
Readers Digest Pop N Country Christmas...3 cd set featuring everybody from Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and Buck Owens to Ella Fitzgerald, the Beach Boys, Burl Ives, and Dean Martin.
Also, got the Lucksmiths 2001 release:
At this point, the Lucksmiths seem fated to a lifetime of comparisons to Belle & Sebastian â?? granted, both bands share a common sensibility distinguished by the same cynical lyricism, gorgeously immediate melodies, and gilded harmonies, but with the stunning Why That Doesn't Surprise Me, the Lucksmiths have plainly staked out their own territory as well. Marty Donald is as good as any songwriter going â?? the opening "Music to Hold Hands To" and the sun-kissed "Broken Bones" in particular are as memorable as any pop songs you're likely to hear this year or any other, buoyed by lilting acoustic guitars and wordplay that recalls vintage Morrissey in both its savage wit and poetic grace. Indeed, for all the classicist elements of the Lucksmiths' aesthetic â?? ringing, Byrds-like melodies, "sha-la-la" vocals, elegant string arrangements, and the like â?? Why That Doesn't Surprise Me also boasts a uniquely postmodern edge that turns pop conventions on their ear.
