Yeah I listened to Friend Or Foe earlier this week, liked it quite a bit too. Agree with Happymeal that they should be a bit more popular around here.

Friend and Foe is great! I love the raw sound of I Am the Fun Blame Monster, though. I haven't managed to listen to their new album in its entirety, but from the few songs I heard it sounded great. The member who left, Brent Knopf, has an awesome solo project too - Ramona Falls.

This week I bought...

The Cure - The Head on the Door
Elvis Costello - My Aim is True
The Stooges - Funhouse

Funhouse and The Head on the Door are alright, but My Aim is True is great.

Friend or Foe is also a really good one. I mean, I'm surprised Menomena isn't more popular on these sites, they seem to fit in perfectly.

Yeah you do have to be very careful who you order from, especially used. I typically try to go for "like new" condition from a very high rated seller if the price is decent. Always a bit of risk involved though I suppose.

Entering my address was the real problem lol.

Fair enough. I like FYE mainly because they typically carry music I love and I'm not a big fan of amazon. I screwed up a few times ordering unfortunately so I've learned my lesson that amazon is just not for me :)

Yeah I have a local F.Y.E. too, but I find that typically they don't have the music I'm looking for anymore. Plus they are super expensive now compared to prices on amazon, even new most of the time. I usually find that my amazon orders get here within a week too which is great.

Yeap, definitely. It's not that I have a drive to have a physical copy, I just have bad luck with online technology, luckily I have a local F.Y.E so purchasing CD's is just a 5 minute drive. If they don't have it, I special order if I really need it, it's a 3 week wait at most, but worth the wait. I spend maybe 10 - 40 dollars a visit.

I seriously spend way too much money on cds. I usually get them used on amazon, but I still get maybe 3 or 4 a week averaging maybe 7 bucks a pop...adds up. Most people don't even bother anymore, but I just need to have the physical copy. Soon the bookshelf that I use for cds will be filled and I'll need to purchase a bigger one, preferably one that is actually made for cds, if they still exist.

My thing is scrounging through the epic piles of used CD's at Amoeba. Got 5 Bjork albums for 2 bucks apiece.

Not sure how useful this thread will be, but meh, it won't hurt anyone

Just bought Rain Dogs and Straight outta compton, only my second rap album I've purchased, right after Enter the wu - tang (36 chambers) which I bought about 1 month or so ago.

EDIT: Really it doesn't have to be this week, but recently I guess, if you want to expand upon your favorite in your collection than thats all good, long as it has something to do with purchases, but if this goes off topic, then I'm not picky, long as there isn't too much hostility.
