What music have you been buying? Old or new?

Wow. The new Lyle Lovett on Vinyl? I have it on cd and like it very much. Also some recent fav cd's are Jann Arden'love is the only soldier"; Holly Cole,"Shade";Rosanne Cash"Rules of travel";Nanci Griffith,"Winter marquee"; Emmylou Harris,"Stumble into grace', one of my most favourites. AlsoAnnie Lennox,"Bare"; Shelby Lynne,"Idenity crisis" another excellent disc. A local group of Antigonish here in Atlantic Canada is The Threws, "House of ill fame," a great raw live band high energy garage party hard dude music. Still among my favourites are the Thorns....I just smile when I listen to them......good listening everyone....

Ben - where did you get/find Ryan Adams Love is Hell?

Ladavid-the Love Is Hell Part 1 ep was released here in the UK the same day as Rock and Roll-about two/three weeks ago.
The UK version has 2 bonus tracks which imho only get in the way of the 8 original tracks.
It hasn't been reviewed in any mags I have seen (the Rock and Roll reviews universally say mediocre with the exception of Mojo)probably because no pre-release copies were sent to any music magazine.

Thanks ben will look for Love cd - thinking I will pass on the Rock and Roll. Was huge fan of Gold but Demolition just didn't do it for me. Guess I had better contribute a few:

1. Joe Henry - Tiny Voices
2. Ladybug Transistor - Albemarle Sand - great orchestral pop / what the Beach Boys would sound like today
3. Van Morrison - Whats Wrong with this picture
4. my current guilty pleasure - Teenage Fanclub - Four Thousand Seven - can't get this off the cd player - need two one for car and one for living room but always loved that Big Star sound

finally worth noting I bought a copy of the November Grammaphone and it came with two classical compilation cds - can't quite get into classical but this is over 90 minutes of the best of 2003 classical - whole mix of classic genres - sounds amazing on my system too and great sampler for getting into wide range of classical music (all for $10 magazine), although my kids want to know what is that wierd music you are listening to!
