Last one of my Cyber Monday haul came today:

Various - Metallic Assault: A Tribute to Metallica

[Alex]

Not my usual kind of listening fare, but last night I randomly decided to pick up a copy of ELO's greatest hits.

[FatFreddysCat]

First pickups of the new year:

The Cult - Born Into This (2007) and Love (1985)

...filling in a few outstanding gaps in my Cult discography.

[FatFreddysCat]

Megadeth - Dystopia (Best Buy exclusive version + 2 bonus tracks)

[FatFreddysCat]

99 cent CD pickups from the Goodwill store:

Damn Yankees - Damn Yankees
Various - The Best of Bond, James Bond (all the 007 themes up to Sheryl Crow's "Tomorrow Never Dies")
Heart - Bad Animals
Heart - Brigade
R.E.M. - Green

[FatFreddysCat]

Anthrax - For All Kings

Humble Pie - Rock On

Jet - Get Born

[FatFreddysCat]

'nother Goodwill Store pickup. CDs were half off on Friday so instead of the usual 99 cents, I got this one for 50 cents!



I figured the song "Why Can't I" and the cover photo alone were worth that much.

Bought a Credence Clearwater Revival CD the other day at Best Buy, I think it was about $5.

My car has the ability to copy music from CDs over to an internal hard drive, so I copied the music over so I'd have it handy.

I recently snagged a copy of the 3CD reissue of Swans "White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity" and "Love Of Life". The third disc is all rarities. Signed by M. Gira no less!

I drove home from work in a gully-washer of a thunder and lightning storm tonight. It was raining so hard that it was tough to see where I was going, so I decided to pull off the road and root around the Goodwill Store for a while in the hopes that it would give the storm time to blow over. CD pickin's there have been slim the past few times I'd visited but I scored some goodies this time out...

U2 - War (West German green/purple "Target" disc-print version)
U2 - The Unforgettable Fire
Heart - Greatest Hits
David Lee Roth - Eat'em And Smile
The Pretenders - Learning To Crawl
