what's your latest music "score"


today I really scored while combing thru the local used CD shop in my hometown, being a college town the used selection is massive & constantly growing with lots of new interesting material everyday. tony rice & john carlini, "river suite for two guitars" & john prine, "the missing years" both $5.99/ea mint condition & resonating throughout the house as I type.

what have you folks scored lately that really made you & your rig happy??? (music or ???)

Timrhu,

I have most of Bjork's LP's and they are all different. I love that crazy girl and am easily immersed in her work regardless of when in her career it was created.

The most difficult for me is her new album, MedĂșlla. I love the fact it's double album ( LP's), recorded at 45 RPM like Radiohead's 2003 release of "Hail to the Thief." It is a stunning recording with super deep bass but is filled with very long passages of chants and noises that I have not yet adjusted to.

Guess if it came down to must choose, after "Post" and "Homogenic" I would take her 10 year old release, "Debut," which is still available on LP and CD.

I missed her very early work and would love to hear "Tappi TĂ­karrass" (which apparently translates as "Cork that bitch's arse.") This was produced sometime between 1981 and 1983 and is pretty rare, appearing after her first successful release in Iceland when she was 11 years old. Amazing little girl and although disturbing to some, I love her energy and creativity.
Albertporter,
Thanks for response. I'll check it out for sure along with a few selections from the Sugarcubes.
Albert,

Nice call on the eels album! I dig it as well. Two of my latest scores are Grandpaboy aka Paul Westerberg Dead Man Shake and the self titled release from Pitty Sing! I just cannot stop listening to it.

Actually getting to see Paul Westerberg at the 930 Club here in DC Friday. Should be awesome!

Cheers,

Chris
The_kid, do you have it as LP or CD? I am trying to find a copy of "Beautiful Freak" on LP. Appears to be more difficult than "Daises."
Oh great! Albertporter is recommending another group I'm probably going to like and will have to spend the next few months searching and shelling out for their music! I almost complete my collection of Dead Can Dance and now I'm going to have to go in search of Eels!

Just kidding, Albertporter. Keep'em coming!
