Just preordered _C’mon, C’mon_, Sheryl Crow’s newest. Along with _The Globe Sessions_, which I’ve been meaning to get for a long time now. ---

I bought three: “shout: the very best of tears for fears” “Heaven and Hell” by Vangelis Joshua Bell “Bernstein: West Side Story Suite” All three are just _packed_ with goodness. ---

The Koln Concert, Widdershins?? Wonderful stuff…I didn’t even think you could still get that. I actually preferred Jarrett’s Bremen and Lausanne concerts me’self. My last album was David Bromberg ( a Japanese pressing that doesn’t apparently need a title?? or maybe it’s hidden somewhere in the teensy-weensy writing in the blurb. ---

I bought it used, **kambuckta**. Somebody had apparently traded in a bunch of Jarrett at the local CD store. I picked that album because I vaguely recalled the name. Luck of the draw, I guess. Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll be on the look out for those other albums. ---

I blazed through this thread pretty quickly, but I don’t think I saw any duplicates, which says something about this board to me. I’ll have to continue the thread by adding Randy Newman’s “Bad Love,” volumes 1 and 2 from “The Carl Stallings Project” (Looney Tunes music rocks dude!) ; and “The Blue and Grey in Black and White” (Civil War-era music). What am I listening to? Jimmy Buffett’s “Fruitcakes” and They Might Be Giants. ---

“Capricornia” by Midnight Oil. Highly recommended. ---

The question was what was the last album that you bought. I bought the Bonzo’s and Leher back in the late 60’s. Been a Bonzo fan since Gorilla came out. (One of damn few at the time… boy the looks you used to get playing that for people.) Just be encouraged that people are still appreciating and supporting music from the category _Other_. Incidently, since you’re into Zappa/Bonzos/Leher, you might be interested in checking out the Senor Coconut link I cited earlier in this thread. Keep exploring and supporting the fringe! ---

Hawkwind! Space Ritual! Kewl! I understand the dilemma. If you’re young enough you might enjoy exploring some of the Beatles material which is actually quite good if you’re not overly familiar with it. My last purchase - My Generation/The Very Best of The Who. ---

Last Vynyl I bought was the 7" “Kowalski” by Primal Scream. Last CD I bought was The Streets “Original Priate Material”. I’m not much of a fan of garage music, but this album is a standout from the genre, as it mixes dub, hip hop and garage in a very “Geezer” attitude. Exceptionally listenable. ---

Hmm… I feel so nerdy: newest cds I bought (in NYC at Tower Records, I might add…hee hee) were the Kalichstein/Laredo/Robinson Trio playing Ravel, and a Prokofiev with Joshua Bell (hee hee) and Vladimir Ashkenazy with the piano and violin concertos… But… hee, the best cd I recently bought was the Beethoven/Mendelssohn cd with Joshua Bell playing… (see a trend here?)🙂 ---

DOUBLE ESPRESSO by the Tony Levin band, Tony, Jerry Marotta, Larry Fast and some one that I can not recall on guitar, an excellent album. unclviny ---

Murder City Devils-In Name and Blood Electric Frankenstein-How To Make A Monster Turbonegro-Armed and Fairly Well Equipped All at the same time, and on vinyl. If you’ve never heard the Norwiegen band Turbonegro, you’ve got to check them out. They’re the craziest band since the original Alice Cooper band. They have songs about gay cowboys (Prince Of The Rodeo), Evil Keneivel (Ubermench), anally raping Bette Page (I Fucked Bette Page), Nambla (Midnight Nambla), hippy bashing (Hobbit Motherfuckers)…but it doesn’t come off at all like GG allin or the Mentors. For an encore, the singer would stick a roman candle in his ass and fire it over the audience:eek: Great twisted Rock and Roll! Jon ---
