Joanna Newsom - Ys 2.99 (Heart Foundation)

That's a great price.  Always seems to be one of those albums that is really expensive in record shops  - like £15, or something.

this last few days:
Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers 'A Night in Tunisia'
Belle and Sebastian 'BBC sessions'
Liz Green 'O Devotion'
Horace Silver 'Song for my Father'
Hank Williams 'Anthology'
Olof Arnalds 'Olof sings'
Veronica Falls (covers ep)
...keeping me busy

Just ordered a few old classics that I've had in digital form for years but never bothered purchasing on cd. My collection needed ladding up a bit more....
 
Paul Weller - Wild Wood
The Cribs - Ignore the Ignorant
The Style Council - Introducing the Style Council
Super Furry Animals - Radiator
Paul Weller - As is Now
The Charlatans - Us and Us Only
Paul Weller - Heavy Soul
Paul Weller Heliocentric
 
 
The lot just over a tenner delivered from Amazon Marketplace. BOOM.

The Style Council were ****ing amazing.

The Style Council were ****ing amazing.

Introducing..., Cafe Bleu and Our Favourite Shop were all LOVELY.
 
 
 

Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
 
£2.99 in Oxfam

full price purchase for the first time in a while, lost my patience and got the new portico quartet. clever lads.

Charity shop bonanza at lunchtime. Most of it is total Hoppo-bait:
 
Dele Abiodun - Alolo moko / Confrontation dub juju
Gamelan Music from Java
Great TV Themes Vol 7 
New Sounds in Electronic Music (feat: Steve Reich 'Come out', Richard Maxfield 'Night music', and Pauline Oliveros 'I of IV')

Thanks for digging up this thread Thomas, very handy (I know it wasn't buried very deep).
 
I almost never buy CDs these days.  On Tuesday I bought 2.  Yes 2, count 'em.  I noticed a sale shelf as I took a short cut through a HMV/Waterstones type shop and after sorting through for a while I came up with:
 
Bauhaus 'Go Away White' - from 2008, their only studio album since splitting up in 1983 (oh, I remember that day well, I can even picture exactly where I was sat as I read that sad news in Record Mirror), I hadn't got around to buying this CD yet so it was quite handy to see it in my local shop this week for £4.  Not played it yet.
 
Paul Brody's Sadawi 'Kraków - Kielce - Warszawa' -  described on the label as 'Klezmer Jazz'.  It's been on repeat play for 2 days pretty much non stop so far.  Trumpet led, jazzy, a bit Jewish, cost less than £2, my bargain of the year.

I think I am going to treat myself to the Shangaan Shake compilation and the new Julia Holter album when I finish the report I am currently writing

Gamelan Music from Java
Great TV Themes Vol 7 

:D
 

Cake - Comfort Eagle...was quite incorectly priced for £1.99 on amazon but they didn't seem to notice...worth every penny too

yesterday i bought:
 
Sleigh Bells - Treats
Moldy Peaches - s/t
Mercury Rev - All is Dream
 
all for ten pounds! (£5, £3, £2)
 
i also bought
 
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? by Edward Alabee
and
Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut
 
and
 
some flowers and a card for my mum 

Not sure I've read Breakfast of Champions before. Might get it sometime. My favourite Vonnegut is The Siren's Titan though no one else agrees so I think that might be because it was the first I read.

Just ordered a few bits in the Squirrel Records closing down sale...
 
Camera Obscura - Underachievers Please Try Harder
The Sunday Reeds - Drowning In History
The Medusa Snare - Cinderella
 
£3 each

I just bought:
Dedication by Zomby (mostly out of guilt that I've listened to the whole album through about 4 times and haven't paid anything for it yet).
Murder Ballads by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (which I bought previously but left the disk in my work computer when I sent it to be decommissioned).

Graham Coxon "A+E" £7.99 but a reasonable price for such a good album.
Dry the River "Shallow Bed" - sadly unremarkable folk, lacks the passion and anger that was on their live EP.  
Battles "Gloss Drop" - didn't give it a listen last year, thought i would pick it up now cheap (£3.99 on eBay) in preparation for latitude, its interesting although hopefully it will grow on me more over time. 

The Sirens of Titan is a terrific thing - everyone else is wrong :)
 
(If you liked that, I recommend that some quick but really enjoyable reads for you would be 'The Forever War' by Joe Halderman, 'Flowers for Algernon' by Daniel Keyes and any collection of short stories by Philip K Dick you can find.)
