I pre-ordered Beach House's Bloom as a CD, and I guess I got it two weeks ago. I normally just stream albums or download them piecemeal, but, after listening to some leaks of the album, and wanting to listen to it in my car without having to burn a CD, I decided to get it in a physical format.
Do you remember the last CD you bought?
I still buy CDs. I bought two at once a month or two ago, they were Poison by Bullet for My Valentine and The Illusion Of Safety by Thrice.
I buy a cd usually every few months or so. Last one I bought was about 3 weeks ago, Kyuss - ...And the Circus Leaves Town
@Ticodude: hmmm... as I literally just finished that game, I'm going to look into that now.
Last Week:
Paul McCartney - Ram (Deluxe Edition)
Tenacious D - Rize of the Fenix
Neil Young/Crazy Horse - Americana (Pre-order)
The KInks - At The BBC (Pre-order)
Pink Flag by Wire. I always buy cds. They tend to be cheaper than album downloads and I like to read through the booklet/lyrics sheet that comes with them. Also, theres the fact I actually own a physical copy of the music.
I have never bought a single CD in my life. I just ripped my dad's collection onto my PC and supplemented it with iTunes.
Psychedelic Rock collection which i bought for £2 in a supermarket on the way home from a long trip cos it had Buffalo Springfield on it lol
I have a thing for FLAC as a format so I tend to buy my CDs physical. The last one I bought was Joose Keskitalo's Tule Minun Luokseni, Kulta. A finnish weirdo who does Tom Waits-esque anecdotal music about screwed up stuff.
I made my parents get me Smash Mouth's "Get the Picture?" back in '03
Edit: @VierasTalo made me remember that I totally bought Yö's "Valtakunta." Finland represent!
The Mortal Kombat soundtrack. I think it was the soundtrack to the first film or something. I bought it last year.
I, actually, just started buying CD's again. There aren't enough places online that offer flac downloads. And the ones that do don't offer very much. I also like having a hard copy.
Got Billy Joel Greatest Hits 1-3, Portishhead - Dummy, Collin Hay - Man @ Work, Steel Panther - Feel the Steel and Balls Out most recently.
It was a re-release of Rubber Soul - The Beatles when they did that whole enhanced limited editions of all of the albums in 2009.
also the fact that this thread seemed to resurrect it self is kind of neat, guess I missed it the first time around.
For me personally? Plainsong by Susan Enan back in Christmas '09. I only bought the CD then because you couldn't get it digitally at all, she was that small-scale that all the CDs were sent from her parents nearest post office. I know sounds really hipster of me, but it felt good supporting her and getting a hand-written parcel was really cute. Good album too.
I did buy the last Florence + The Machine CD for mothers day much more recently though.
