Bought two just last week:
“Forgiveness Rock Record” by Broken Social Scene. Awesome, their best since “You Forgot it in People.”
“Together” by The New Pornographers. Also, very good, but gets somewhat weak in its second half.

Beethoven: String Quartets #1 and #2. Ordered it around the first part of May. I’ve got a prime membership to Amazon and I buy a lot of Naxos classical CDs. They’re often as cheap as the music download at $7.99 For classical music, I’d rather buy the CD if the price is within a dollar or so of the download price.
I was at a flea market earlier today and bought two CD’s for five dollars: Elvis Presley’s #1 Hits and Dido’s No Angel.
I also came very close to buying an LP: Mike Nichols & Elaine May Examine Doctors. It was a really good price but I finally decided it was pointless to buy an LP when I don’t have a turntable set up and no plans to do so.

*Great album
You totally Beyoncé-rolled him!
I think the last one we bought was Colin James, “Rooftops and Satellites.” It’s solid, but not great. I think we got it at the same time as Pink’s “Funhouse,” which I’m totally enjoying.
The Puppini Sisters - The Rise and Fall of Ruby Woo
It’s signed by all three “sisters” too. They visited Amishland on their last U.S. tour.
Encores by Jimmy Buffet two weeks ago (can’t link, at work).
Blank CD-R’s on sale at CompUSA before they closed down.
NP. It was late when I saw it, and it really messed with my head, man.
BTW, it’s fun having a permanent record that the power-metal dude listens to Beyoncé. Not quite a, “Hal with a sheep” moment, but I’m enjoying it nonetheless.

ETA:
My last CD purchased: About five years back, I bought Robert Randolph’s, “Live at the Wetlands” CD. Great purchase.
Peter Gabriel’s Scratch My Back just last week.
The Complete Flanders & Swann
Guess I’ll be dating myself here. Fleetwood Mac’s mid-period Kiln House and Future Games. Danny Kirwan was an overlooked genius, IMO.
Matthew Good - Vancouver last month. He’s been one of my favorite performers since the mid-nineties. I was a little slow in picking this one up, but I’m glad I did. Before that, it would probably be Glen Phillips - Secrets of the New Explorers (late last year sometime).
