Records you've bought recently

It's really interesting to see what other bassists are listening to. Props to the guy who mentioned Rodriguez and the ones who mentioned Bowie's new album. I'm really curious about that one and can't wait to hear it.

My latest finds?

Bob Dylan - Modern Times. Just pure brilliance, my favorite tracks are "Spirit on the Water" and "When the Deal Goes Down."

Tegan and Sara - Get Along (live album). The songs are stripped down and sound really raw and intimate. I can already tell this is one of my favorite records ever. Comes with a dvd full of amazing footage, too.

Tegan and Sara - Heartthrob. As always, the new album is a stylistic departure but it's really the same old T&S that I know and love. Every track is brilliant all-around: great lyrics, musicianship, and overall concept.

Phish - Junta. The studio album which debuted such gems as "Fluffhead" and "You Enjoy Myself." Mind-blowing bass work by Gordo and just amazing work by everyone. Another favorite track is "Icculus," the lyrics and execution are hysterically funny.

I've been buying all the Alison Krauss Union Station CDs. I've had a few of the older albums for a long time, but hadn't updated my collection with their new stuff.

If you like bluegrass with some major attitude, then I would definitely check these guys out. I play mandolin as well as bass, so I love this kind of stuff as well as prog rock and all the other styles I listen to.

To be honest, there hasn't been anything that has come out in close to 20 years that I have wanted to buy. I have purchased songs from Itunes but can't remember the last time I bought a cd or vinyl. Having said that, I own over 2,000 vinyl albums and about 1,000 cds. Most of them are classic rock, country, blues and jazz albums from the 1930s to the early 1990s.

Quiet Riot- QR

Iron Maiden- The Number Of The Beast

Preemptive clarification: record means "piece of recorded music" and not specifically "vinyl record album".

What albums have you all bought recently? I went to an antique store today and got the first Weezer album, an REM compilation (best of the IRS years, '82-87), an NWA comp (Legacy, a comp which includes both NWA tracks and solo tracks from it's members after they broke up), and Eric B. and Rakim's Follow the Leader, all on CD.

My most recent haul before that netted me a live Bad Brains album, a couple of Motorhead albums (No Sleep Til Hammersmith and Ace of Spades), Gogol Bordello's ridiculously good double album Underdog World Strike, a 10" of Tone-Loc's "Wild Thing", and a handful of obscure punk EPs from local (NJ, USA) bands, all on vinyl (I used to buy mostly vinyls because they were cheaper at the local record store, which has sadly gone under recently, so now I go to a nearby antique store which sells CDs for cheap and vinyl at ridiculous markups).

Anyone get anything good recently?
