What was the last CD/DVD you bought and why?

Rins-chan · #1 6th March 2006, 11:12 AM

I am sorry if there is already such a thread but I used the search-function and found none. So hopefully I am the first to start one with this topic.

Okay, so what was the last CD/DVD you bought and WHY?

___________________________________
For me it were 2 CDs I ordered from amazon.de:

Anja Garbarek - Smiling & Waving
I really love this album and I love Anja Garbarek. A friend gave me the hint and I listened to her album an fell in lovr with her music. Then I saw that it was less then 10$ (8.97€) and must buy it

Katie Melua - Piese by Piece
Because a friend gave it to me and I really liked it and wanted to get the CD for so long but it always was too expensive. I just also needed something to reach 20€ of order for free forwarding and then I remembered this CD and bought it ^-^

Hikki's Keep Tryin'

TeamAyu · #7 7th March 2006, 10:19 AM

I cannot even remember... it was quite a while ago.

I think it was Natasha Bedingfield's "These Words". I bought it because I had heard "These Words" and instantly fell in love with the song. I heard that "Unwritten" was a great song too so I figured I should just go and get the album. I heard it was also an overall great album so why not? I still haven't had a chance to listen to it though.

Tori Amos - Scarlet's Walk
I just liked the cover and it was on special sale so I bought it. I heard a lot of good stuff about her music and actually I like it very much noch

System Of A Down - STEAL THIS ALBUM
It was also a special sale and my boyfriend really likes them and always wanted to buy it and so I took it as a present for him ^-^

ROSENSTOLZ - DAS GROSSE LEBEN Limited Deluxe Edition with DVD
This will be the present for my mother. We both love this Germany band. Their music is great. I hope she'll be happy. It is brandnew ^-^

@darkswordz & LacusClyne: please read the topic once more. I did not want you just to post what you bought but also why. That should not be too difficult.

ayumi hamasaki (miss)understood CD+DVD+on my way

sxesven · #10 10th March 2006, 09:04 AM

Charles Mingus - Pre-Bird
Sigur Rós - ( )

Because they both rock so hard.

charneko · #11 10th March 2006, 01:18 PM

UVERworld - Timeless
Because I love it! They've become my latest obsession... And there's a shiny thing on the album cover.
Sweetbox - Addicted
Because I've been waiting a long time to hear it. And the cover is shiny.
(for some reason I only end up buying things if they're shiny...)

ITS FINALLY HERE IN SINGAPORE ^_^

CD: Fiona Apple- Extraordinary Machine

Why: I went to the shop to get (miss)understood. However, only those who have made reservations will get it and there isn't enough stock for even those who have reserved. The lady showed me a copy from one of the boxes and it was so pretty. So I paid twice the usual down payment and looked around. I asked for Hooverphonic, Jem, The Cardigans, Tori Amos, but they were all not on sale there. So I looked at the JPOP CDs for Utada, but Keep Tryin' only arrives next month. Then I asked for Ultimate Kylie. The lady said only RM32 and I was shocked. I quickly said yes and she went to another shelf to get a copy. I followed her and saw the CD. Then I told her I want it. As she walked to the counter, I saw a CD stood out from the others because of the bright fuchsia side. The CDs were all sideways by the way. I looked closer and... "AUNTY, STOP! I WANT THIS ONE! THIS ONE!" I guess I did embarrass my brother a little, thank god no customers were there. So I paid for it but it cost me RM42, because it was imported. There you have it...

Good buy!

My last few purchases:

CD: Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um
Because: It's probably the best bop album ever made on this world. Incredibly brilliant, breathtaking stuff. Was going to buy it earlier already but then picked up Pre-Bird because they didn't have Mingus Ah Um over at the store where I went. Did find it now, so immediately bought it.

CD: Sigur Rós - Hoppipolla
Because: It's just a CD-single, but since I'm very fond of getting band's entire discographies, I thought it'd be nice to have it. And it is nice to have it, of course. Good stuff.

CD: David Bowie - Hunky Dory
Because: It's early David Bowie, which normally equals good Bowie. Especially so in the case of Hunky Dory, which features brilliant songs such as Queen ***** and Life On Mars. Great album.

CD: Joanna Newsom - The Milk-Eyed Mender
Because: I already had this one, but it was only €4 and because it's so good I thought I'd just pick it up so I can give it someone else or whatever. It's so brilliant, I just couldn't leave it there among all the crappy discount albums.

PSYCHEDELICOdust · #15 12th March 2006, 12:28 AM

Uh. I'll just stick some purchases in here from a recent buying spree.

Arctic Monkeys - Whatever You Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

The giant amount of buzz about them made me pick it up. Rather glad of the purchase.

Fiona Apple - Tidal

I adore Extrodinary Machine so I decided to pick up some history on here. Once again, very glad about this.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Self-titled

sven talking about it. Also the reason I got Extrodinary Machine =D

m-flo - ASTROMANTIC DVD

Cosmic Night Run. LIVE. <3

TeamAyu · #16 12th March 2006, 08:49 AM

ayumi hamasaki - Startin'/Born To Be... [ CD+DVD ]

ayumi hamasaki - forgiveness

Well I have been a fan of Ayu's for about three or four years now and have honestly LOVED everything she has put out so picking up "Startin'/Born To Be..." was a must. I haven't had a chance to open it up yet though... but I plan to soon... plus my cashier was SO CUTE! I think he is going to be my new boyfriend. HAHAHA But yeah... and I picked up "forgiveness" because it was a STEAL (in my opinion) at $7.00 brand new! I already had a crappy beat up Overseas version of "forgiveness" from some guy who totally ripped me off but I wanted one suitable for my Ayu collection, so I picked it up. They has also the CD-only version of "fairyland", which I also need but I made sure I only picked up one CD. CDs EAT my money.

Excellent buys!

littlefairyfromnam · #19 12th March 2006, 02:35 PM

I pre-ordered the new Rie Fu and Ayaka Hirahara CD's a few weeks ago. It made me really poor, but they're going to be amazing. I bought them as a present to myself for (kind of) finishing transfer applications.

Sxesven, I own ( ) and I really like it. Were you happy with your buy?

Neil · #20 12th March 2006, 04:40 PM

I imported Carrie Underwood's 'Some Hearts' last

It's quite an amazing album if you're into that sort of thing.
