Addict Behavior

oceanRain [Edit] [Delete] 4 replies 23:46, 5 November '04
Hey, good name for an album, huh?

But no. Mo'fo' who's gonna sell me a guitar said he wants to keep it now. Thought I was gonna get a $5000 axe for a grand. So I spent all the money on CDs and one lobster dinner. Here's how I spent my last few hundred. By all means, ridicule, praise or otherwise comment on my selections.

Blur - Parklife. Please don't gimme the Britpop is passe shite. Even if true Blur is the exception to the rule. Trust me.
Nick Cave - Greatest. Nicolle's choice.
Black Keys - Rubber Factory. DiS/Pitchfork.
Ash - 1977. Heard a few tracks. Not bad, not earth shattering, either.
Mansun - Kleptomania. Tough to find in the states. Just when you think you've got MOR Pink Floyd they do something horribly wonderfully weird. A keeper.
Japan - Obscure Alternatives. Sample lyric from Love Is Infectious: She carries love in a career bag, her body ain't clean oh, oh, oh. This record is infectious!
The Glove - Blue Sunshine. Robert Smith/Steve Severin collaboration. It's really groovy.
Earlimart - Treble & Tremble. Pitchfork. Opened for EATB and on sale.
Zutons - Who Killed... DiS. The horns frighten me, but I'm willing to try anything once. Sometimes twice. ;-)
The Wonder Stuff - HUP. I already tol ya. They're a drunk Teenage Fanclub.
X - Greatest. Old time punk essential.
Scott Walker - Climate of Hunter. DiS. Bunnyfans seem to like this guy.

2nd Spin (used)
Cocteau Twins - Blue Bell Knoll. Creakyknees. Saw 'em fifteen years ago. Like a soft breeze blowing through the windows of an eerie mansion.
Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True Deluxe. Duh!
Interpol - TOTBL. Replacement disc. Yep, it's essential.
The Rapture - Echos. Pitchfork.
REM - Automatic for the People. Staple alternative. It's important!
Nirvana - Unplugged and Nevermind.
Spiritualized - Amazing Grace. I don't even really like 'em. $6 WTF. *shrugs*
Sonic Youth - NYC & Flowers. Not gonna be as good as the candle on the cover one I'll bet. Oh well.
Winning Days. Receipt doesn't have band name and I can't remember. WTF *shrugs*
Smashing Pumpkins - Adore. I really like this. I like it a lot.
Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking. Really the only essential Jane's record, eh?
The Hives - VVV & Tyrannosaurus. Both for $12, a bargain.
Hole - Celebrity Skin. Courtney may be an embarrassment, but her music ain't too shabby.
X - More Fun in the New World. I's pretty content with the greatest hits package, but for $6 I couldn't pass it up.

(I really only do this to give you guys a chance to talk about a band that ain't incorporated into yer user name. Now, who wants to talk about Ian McCulloch?)

    Scott Walker is my Hero!

    And that isn't anything to do with my Bunnymen obsession (even though Mick Middles namechecks him like a zillion times in Mac's biography)

      Wasn't jus you, bro. I used to hang with Seven Seas and Scott Walker's name would occasionally surface. I haven't even opened it yet. May be a while. Since I lost my CDs I've been obsessive compulsive, like the goof-ball that flips the light on and off ten times before leaving the room. But I gotta get an acoustic still and so somehow someway I gotta get back to buying a CD or two per visit. I think DiS is making me a little crazy, I dunno. (Yeah, I know that goes both ways, wise guys!)

      Oh, the Winning Days might be the Trainspotting Soundtrack. Notable cos of the thousand plus records I've bought, this is my very first movie soundtrack. $6 WTF. ;-)

    What was the axe, just for interest's sake? I like my geetars, I do.

    I really like Earlimart. The record before 'Treble & Tremble', 'Everyone Down Here' is great.

    "The one with the candle on the cover" is 'Daydream Nation' and is definitely the Youth's best record. 'NYC Ghosts & Flowers'? *shudder*

    And how can you say 'Nothing's Shocking' is Jane's Addiction's only essential record? 'Ritual de lo Habitual' is flippin' ace!

      I'm sure I heard the name Guild mentioned previously.
