What music have you been buying? Old or new?

Ladavid-the Love Is Hell Part 1 ep was released here in the UK the same day as Rock and Roll-about two/three weeks ago.
The UK version has 2 bonus tracks which imho only get in the way of the 8 original tracks.
It hasn't been reviewed in any mags I have seen (the Rock and Roll reviews universally say mediocre with the exception of Mojo)probably because no pre-release copies were sent to any music magazine.

Thanks ben will look for Love cd - thinking I will pass on the Rock and Roll. Was huge fan of Gold but Demolition just didn't do it for me. Guess I had better contribute a few:

1. Joe Henry - Tiny Voices
2. Ladybug Transistor - Albemarle Sand - great orchestral pop / what the Beach Boys would sound like today
3. Van Morrison - Whats Wrong with this picture
4. my current guilty pleasure - Teenage Fanclub - Four Thousand Seven - can't get this off the cd player - need two one for car and one for living room but always loved that Big Star sound

finally worth noting I bought a copy of the November Grammaphone and it came with two classical compilation cds - can't quite get into classical but this is over 90 minutes of the best of 2003 classical - whole mix of classic genres - sounds amazing on my system too and great sampler for getting into wide range of classical music (all for $10 magazine), although my kids want to know what is that wierd music you are listening to!

I'm 46 and I buy both old & new. I think there is TONS of good new music comming out these days.Just got on vinyl-

Shins-Last 2 albums

Stroks- last 2 albums

My Morning Jacket- "It still Moves"

Mojave 3

Joe Strummer & the Mescalerros- Been playing this almost every day for weeks

Beechwood Sparks

The Band- "Stage Fright" nm

On CD:

Masked & anoum. soundtrack

Emmylou Harris- saw her last month @ UCLA

Neil Young- "Greendale" saw him perforn the whole story live this summer, one of the best concerts i've been to

Fountains of Wyane

And I hit the used record stores one a month for the oldies or buy new reissues, I try to spend about $150.00 a month. I live in LA which has IMHO the best public radio station in KCRW, where I hear the new stuff

I forgot about the new Lyle Lovett, I got that on LP too! It's hard for me to find good new music that I like since when I do listen to music on the radio it's usually classic rock stations, or oldies. When I hear the stuff my kids are listening to I sound like my mother did when I was a kid. They can listen to it, but I don't want to hear that crap.

Elizabeth, where the heck did you find 4,000 LPs? Is that just this year? I need to spend more time in Milwaukee!

Several people have mentioned the new Shelby Lynne and EmmyLou Harris CDs. Are they good? I have some of their older stuff, but haven't heard the new.

Maybe along with equipment reviews we should have music reviews on AudiogoN. I trust the people here more than the mags!

Nrchy-I have offered to provide this very service for Audiogon-a seperate area for reviews and music release and general news.
I am still waiting to hear back from them.
