I picked up a Rick Astley compilation on a random trip to Wal-Mart tonight. And I am damn happy about it.

I ordered the Saturday Night Gossip LP last friday which arrived today

I recently pre-ordered Chihiro Onitsuka's "Dorothy"

monobright's collab with soil and pimp actually sounds really good, ska fits their sensibilities perfectly. this isn't soil and pimp as much as its just monobright stealing the two horns from Soil and Pimp...it adds just the right amount of flavor without taking the focus away. some pimp fans might argue this isn't using the band to their fullest talent, but I think this sounds promising

In Shipping Process (from CD Japan):
1996.07.24 | SHERBET Sekilala first-press SHM-CD album (reissued on 2009.09.30)
1998.01.21 | BLANKEY JET CITY Kokkyosenjo no Ari first-press SHM-CD album (reissued on 2009.09.30)
1999.07.24 | SHERBETS Siberia limited SHM-CD (reissued on 2009.09.30)
2009.07.01 | pe'zmoku Dai Sakusen limited Blu-spec+DVD album
2009.08.26 | Shiina Ringo Seteiki Healing Sono 4 first-press? DVD pv collection
2009.08.26 | Asai Kenichi Mad Surfer limited CD+DVD single
2009.09.16 | SOIL&"PIMP"SESSIONS 6 regular CD album
2009.09.30 | Asai Kenichi Sphinx Rose limited SHM-CD+DVD album

This batch of music would normally cost around 7000yen just for the EMS shipping, but I've also applied 2000yen worth of coupon(s), and cashed in 5000yen worth of Frequent Shopper Points. So effectively, the shipping costs me nothing, yet it is faster and more trackable than the shipping YesAsia offers for free. It's almost perpetual. You order a large batch, you're given a coupon and a lot of Frequent Shopper Points, you throw those at another large batch, then you get another coupon and more points. But if you only look at it in terms of "What is my very first CD Japan shipment going to cost me?", then you will never get into the cycle I'm talking about.

Even though it says "Recent Music" I thought I'd stick my DVD purchases in \0/ they came from YesAsia so it's kinda the same

besides I haven't bought anything musical for a while except a Muse song which was a digital download.

Anyways! I bought (all DVD)

Lost in Time
Century of the Dragon
Island of Greed
Button Man
Bullets Over Summer
Cop Unbowed
A World Without Thieves
Violent Cop (it's Anthony Wong not the Beat Takeshi movie)
Slim Till Dead
Shinjuku Incident

And a few more that I can't remember in the other room.

Good Times!

I love Royal Mail... I ordered a bunch of stuff from juno.co.uk on Monday and they got here in 3 days! Amazing...

anyway I bought.

kira neris - a frozen second

soil and pimp sessions - planet pimp (brownswood version)

marbert rocel - catch a bird

and 3 LPs...
Floating Points - Love me like this
Floating Points - Vacuum
Bachelors of Science - Song for Lovers (lynx remix)

Superficial Fan · 2009.11.15, 07:57 PM

Bannakumbi - Un Nuevo Dia (Awesome new salsa band out of Philadelphia with a very fresh sound, heavy on acoustic guitar and cuatro, but also incorporating some rapped vocals parts. But the primary, sung, vocals are perhaps the most interesting aspect of the album, and very inventive. Not a bad track on this, imo.)

Truco & Zaperoko - En Plena Rumba (Uneven album by Puerto Rican band, or super-band (two groups in one) which sounds best when it works with Puerto Rican folkloric rhythms)

Miranda Lambert - Revolution (My token contemporary country pick. There's some good songwriting here, especially on the musical side of that, but it's not quite as consistent as her last one. I swear one song on this, "Only Prettier," makes melodic moves which remind me a lot of XTC. Uneven, but definitely some strong songs on this.)

Ata Ebtekar and the Iranian Orchestra for New Music (Performing Works of Alireza Mashayekhi [also entitled Ornamentalism, but that's nowhere on the cover of my CD] (This is basically modern classical/electroacoustic music with Iranian classical music as source material, or something like that--but the main sensibility is closer to western avant-garde music, I would say, even if some of the timbres are tantalizingly eastern. Good for this sort of thing, but I don't listen to this sort of thing so much these days.)

Acoustic Guitar Trio - Vignes (Free improv., but less all over the place than a lot of free improv, and fairly accessible for a good chunk of it. I like it, though maybe don't love it. This includes Nels Cline, which may mean something to some of you. Doesn't mean too much to me.)
