what's your latest music "score"


today I really scored while combing thru the local used CD shop in my hometown, being a college town the used selection is massive & constantly growing with lots of new interesting material everyday. tony rice & john carlini, "river suite for two guitars" & john prine, "the missing years" both $5.99/ea mint condition & resonating throughout the house as I type.

what have you folks scored lately that really made you & your rig happy??? (music or ???)

The Eels "Dasies Of The Galaxy," I have been searching for a vinyl copy for years. Great sound and great tunes, I love it !

Eels
Timrhu, those Bjork albums would be on my list, except I have owned them for some time, so they don't qualify as "latest."

"Post" is my all time favorite from Bjork.
Timrhu,

I have most of Bjork's LP's and they are all different. I love that crazy girl and am easily immersed in her work regardless of when in her career it was created.

The most difficult for me is her new album, MedĂșlla. I love the fact it's double album ( LP's), recorded at 45 RPM like Radiohead's 2003 release of "Hail to the Thief." It is a stunning recording with super deep bass but is filled with very long passages of chants and noises that I have not yet adjusted to.

Guess if it came down to must choose, after "Post" and "Homogenic" I would take her 10 year old release, "Debut," which is still available on LP and CD.

I missed her very early work and would love to hear "Tappi TĂ­karrass" (which apparently translates as "Cork that bitch's arse.") This was produced sometime between 1981 and 1983 and is pretty rare, appearing after her first successful release in Iceland when she was 11 years old. Amazing little girl and although disturbing to some, I love her energy and creativity.
The_kid, do you have it as LP or CD? I am trying to find a copy of "Beautiful Freak" on LP. Appears to be more difficult than "Daises."
Just purchased on Vinyl this evening:

The Shins, "Chutes Too Narrow" and The Eels, "SoulJacker."

Last week I found LP copy of Fleetwood Mac-Otis Spann's, "The Biggest Thing Since Colossus" in Berlin, Germany !

Life is good!!
