JohnSlade07 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Take Me To The River - beautifully packaged, 3 CD history of southern soul. The Weekend Starts Here - less than beautifully, cheesy double CD of "Mod" soul/mod band favs. Elvis Costello & The Imposters - Momofuko: growing on me with each listening. Razorlight - whatever the new one's called. Some of the worst lyrics I've heard in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 [quote name='chris_b' post='333911' date='Nov 21 2008, 03:23 PM']Alzheimer’s?[/quote] Nope - LP, CD and Enhanced CD/DVD (wanted to see the KoB DVD - disappointing!!). I gave the original cd away in a moment of evangelism! The curse of being born before CDs were invented is that you have this overwhelming need to 'up-grade' big chunks of your vinyl collection! Other up-grades include Yes, ZZ Top, Genesis, Weather Report, Pat Metheny (Bright Size Life), Jaco (Word of Mouth and Jaco), a couple of early John Scofield recordings.... the list is growing!!

Born 2B Mild Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 [quote name='mcgraham' post='333931' date='Nov 21 2008, 03:54 PM']How much does this service cost per month? Mark[/quote] £12.95 per month. You can download to three PCs and three mp3 players. My wife uses it within my subs, and she sings in a choir, and she finds it useful to download recordings of whatever her choral society is rehearsing. One of my lads used it for a while too, but his player broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgraham Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 [quote]£12.95 per month[/quote] Bargainous! I don't mind spending around 10 quid a month for an album per month anyway, so considering what it would allow me to download is great. I'll have to look into that. Are there any drawbacks? Does anyone know if iTunes do anything similar? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionally, you come across an artist that doesn't allow downloads (like The Beatles) but it's pretty rare. There is one thing that some will consider is a drawback ...you have to use Napstet To Go compatible players. If you like Creative players, then that's easy, but there's a list of all makes and models. However, Apple ipods are completely out of the frame (which is an Apple thing). Critics will also point out that the downloads aren't for keeps. This is true, but here's how I see it. This is like having a subscription to a library ...stop subscribing and you take your books back. Meanwhile you can borrow as many tracks as you like. Plus, every now and then, we come across an album that we just [u]have [/u]to own. Sometimes I'll pay for them on Napster, but I'm more likely to route out an online bargain for a CD. I've been doing it for a year and a half and feel my musical knowledge and enjoyment has gone up leaps and bounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteb Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 "OgreTones" by King's X and "Sinatra at the Sands" (the latter for my Dad for Xmas, but might put it on the ipod at some point) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the good thing about Napster To Go ...you get wind of something and the next thing you know you are listening to it. Plus, it's 100% legal, with artists (including the album I recorded with Angie Shaw) getting royalties from this channel. Sorry, if I sound like I work for the company. I don't!

barks Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 two of the best things I've bought in a while are: Kyle Eastwood's 'Now' Gerald Veasley's 'Your Move' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I haven't bought a huge number of CDs this year but the most recent was Dave Holland's latest sextet offering 'Pass It On'. Lovely raw feel to it with Holland's usual understated playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like an excellent idea with the small exception of the time you can actually have the stuff for. Cheers for that anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Thought Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Our local FOPP (Truro) closed down, much to my disgust! I recently downloaded a couple of albums from The Hold Steady. A cross between Springsteen and Husker Du-Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneyg42 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Well if this thread means actually buying a cd in a shop as opposed to downloading then it's Black Ice AC/DC for me, although I picked up Magnum-Wings of Heaven for a quid at a boot sale last weekend, probably about 50p too much!

spinynorman Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Foghat - "Road Cases". Good honest blues/rock, live and loud like it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Backdoor Too, by the Colin Hodgkinson group. At the gig they did last Thursday in London. Unbelieveable. I've been trying to get to a gig by this man since 1975 and finally succeeded. Fantastic evening, the band live is even better than the CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
