Voltron Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Got inspired by the recent Art Pepper discussions, and I am already working on the OJC CD catalog, so just purchased the entire Art Pepper OJC helping: Damn, you must be the President, CEO and Chairman of Team Music First! How many discs/LPs are you pulling in per week?
aardvark baguette Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Honestly, a week is such a long time to remember all my Amazon activity Lately its been dozens every few days. One way I am justifying it to myself is I've decided that my current economic transport is good enough to hold off on a super expensive SACD player. Actually, come to think of it, I had to get the transport to be able to listen to everything I'm getting, as it takes a while to rip all this stuff properly, and scan album artwork. Especially when you are trying to scan the entire booklet, back sleeve and disc. edit; LPs are significantly less. Music Matters subscription (2 per month avg) and the occasional gem that is low in stock or pre order. Though I did get 4 copies of A Night In Tunisia in addition to my subscription copy, that will remain sealed until there are no more sealed copies available new or used, if you catch my drift
GPH Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Lately its been dozens every few days. That's pretty hardcore man, I hope you take the time to listen to all of the stuff. At that rate, you must have an awesome collection. I'm in team "music first" too and I usually buy 2-3 discs per week, but I rarely have the time to listen to them and "know" them as much I'd like. I can't imagine with 12 per week.
Fitz Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 It's a lot easier than you think to end up bringing in a lot of music... I've bought a few dozen CDs in the last month or so, have another ~150 coming to me from a private deal with someone, and I'm still browsing sites like amazon to find more stuff.
postjack Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Not exactly just purchased, but AIR did take their time fixing my order. Glad to have it in my hands though wooooot, grats! it really is just a gorgeous set.
deepak Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Posted June 3, 2008 Heaviest single music purchase ever. Probably weighs more than my two year old cousin

Heh heh..it is a bit nuts lately. Even when I'm coming into an unusually large amount of music in ....other ways.... I've never been able to completely shake the Amazon habit. Especially with an Amazon Prime account. Having that prepaid shipping turns it into a siren song. There are definitely times where I need to slow down for a few days and go back over old material some more. But its one more thing to look forward to, to go back and really begin to deeply analyze your albums. One thing thats really changed is how I listen to my music, after buying so many discs. I used to listen to songs, in short spurts. Now I've grown accustomed to listening to entire albums. Part by design, part by accident, but it really helps to get a firm grasp on everything. Individual song listening makes everything far too sporadic and disjointed.

Several months ago I turned off one click ordering, that was a little too easy.
Thelonious Monk Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Lots of Debussy. Top-5 favorite composer.

en480c4 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Rykarda Parasol - Our Hearts First Meet Samples are out there, but I didn't listen. It was listed on last.fm as a similar artist to Kira Lynn Cain, whose album I've really been enjoying. So I just took a chance and ordered it. I wanted to be surprised! :fingerscrossed:

Well it certainly seems that you, Reks and Voltron have the Jazz genere wired I like pretty much all of what you guys have recommended, especially the Duke Ellington and Ray Brown recommendation.
postjack Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 two morbid angel albums: covenant and domination. Also a dimmu-borgir album from 97 whose name escapes me. And the newest Vovoid album. Sorry for my laziness, internetin' on iPhone is hard.
en480c4 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Also a dimmu-borgir album from 97 whose name escapes me. I just finished that after lunch... Enthrone Darkness Triumphant... Great call. I know crazy genre people think Dimmu Borgir is too mainstream or too polished to be considered true Black Metal, but whatever... EDT was their highpoint IMO. I didn't care for the more prominent symphonic elements they added later.

Voltron Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 We got that bitch locked down Maybe a bad transition, but you reminded me of the outrageous lyrics in Albert King's Answer to the Laundromat Blues that I was listening to last night: This number's bein' especially played And dedicated to all of the women From all of the men) You see you women have a good thing goin' But we hip to ya now You take two or three pieces And go down to the laundromat An' take ya eight hours to wash 'em No good! We gonna buy ya washers and dryers And we're gonna put ya at home in the basement And we gonna kick the door down that goes to the basement While we can hear the washer when it stop And baby, baby, baby, when that washer stop You better be though Or you better have a darn good explanation! Don't you go get whupped all on the toenails We're gonna raise your eye lashes and whup ya some And if ya run fast enough We're gonna whup ya on the bottom of the feet Ain't that right men? Speak up for yourself! (yeah, yeah) There will be no more goin' to the laundromat Puttin' your clothes in there And gettin' your girlfriend keep her eye on it While you step out the back door You better take my advice You might need it on your vacation this summer I'd hate to see ya come up with a leg screwed off Or a eye punched out Yeah! Whoa! yeah, yeah! I know you don't know it babe (yeah, yeah, yeah) But things look bad for you Hey, I know you don't know it babe But I'm gonna keep a close eye on you Well, ev'ry time you go to the laundromat, baby I want you to know, I want you to know That I'll be there too!
