The Purchases Thread

[Winmar]

I'd rather just watch the mum in Bad Santa.

I finally got the new Alice in Chains today.

 

[Southy]

I have had a few good buys of late, but be fucked if I can remember them past the new 50 Lions album today, and the 2 Mouthguard albums last week, Aussie hardcore can be so good

There is enough dialogue in an episode of Gilmore Girls to fill an entire season of most shows. Combined with the heavy accents = headache.

But still, the show has merrit.

 

[Spiff]

I've only watched a couple of episodes on TV here but it's such a hoot that I had to buy it on DVD because heaps of DVDs are cheap here.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Just finished my first listen of Wolfmother's "Cosmic Egg".

I was really enjoying the first half, very groovey and more riff based than their previous album, but it seemed to drag a bit in the second half. A few songs too long. Look forward to repeat listens though.

had a big CD getting day today, so ended up purchasing.

Devin Townsend Project - Addicted! fucking incredible album! Truly mind blowing but at the same time, what you want and expect from Devin. The addition of the singer from the Gathering adds a new level to it. Highly recommended to Dev-head and metal fans alike.

Deathspell Omega - Kénôse

Pathogen - Bloodlines

The Eternal - Sleep of Reason

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I have never been a fan of Devin, but I might give this album a listen based on a couple of things I have heard about it.

 

[Hanso]

Addicted is a great album.... Not sure if would win over any new Dev fans though.

 

[Southy]

I think it will score more fans due to the melody of the female vocals

yeah, the duel vocals work out so well on this album.

great harmonisation.

went to JB today to get Akira on Blu-ray and ended up getting a new phone.

touch screen Samsung, not bad but takes some time to get used to.

did end up getting Akira too and it rocks on blu-ray!

 

[Winmar]

What is Akira exactly? What sort of Samsung phone did you get?

 

[Southy]

I got a raft of albums today

Megadeth - Killing is my Business, it is the 'vinyl' CD reissue
Devin Townsend - Addicted, had it since it leaked, but finally had the money for it
Behemoth - The Apostasy
The Saints - Know your product, a best of


Should be getting another copy of The Clash's album Sandinista! tomorrow, mine has gone missing

 

[Winmar]

Sweet haul!

Akira is the all time classic animation which brought anime to the Western attention years ago.
the story of corruptive nature of super powers and what happens when people never learn from incredible past mistakes and try to repeat that which failed with new technologies, combining with the fall and corruption of society.

very interesting stuff.

the phone is an Ultra Touch S8300T.
