Some as gifts, some purchases, here are some of my acquisitions this holiday season.

Ugly Cassanova - Sharpen Your Teeth
David Usher - Morning Orbit
David Usher - Little Songs
Sigur Ros - Von
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Modest Mouse - Everywhere and His Nasty Parlor Tricks
Moist - Creature

Pink Floyd, Gash? You don't strike me as a Pink Floyd type of guy. Good band, though, despite what some people may say...

Yeah, I mean it's not like almost all of the bands I listen to draw very obviously on Pink Floyd.

I still remember seeing Laser Floyd. One of the coolest nights of my life.

Hmm, recent CD's...

ACDC: Highway to Hell
U2: Atchung Baby, How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
something by The Who, I forget what.
Roper: Prepare for the Mediocre

Got some Joss Stone, which was unexpected, quite nice though.

Isn't that the teenage white girl who sings like a middle-aged black woman?

The Cure - Join the Dots:B-sides & rarities 1978-2001(box set)
Echo & The Bunnymen - Crystal Days 1979-1999(box set)
The Police - Message in a Box: The complete recordings(box set)

Those are my acquisitions recently.

Metallica - Kill 'em All

I got most of MG's albums. Although they won't be arriving until near the end of January...

Also, "This is Spinal Tap" and the "Live Aid" DVD. And I'm saving up for the new Bon Jovi boxset that has over 50 unreleased songs on it.


(Note: the only one of those that I actually got for Xmas was Spinal Tap. I had to pay for the rest out of my shitty minimum-wage baking job)
