So following on from the Music Fan thread, what are the last three CDs you have bought/downloaded?

Mine are

Phronesis - Life to Everything (brilliant Anglo-Scandinavian jazz trio)

Damon Albarn - Everyday Robots

London Grammar - If you wait
 
Edith Piaf - L'Immortelle
Tom Jones - Spirit in the Room, and Reload
Les Negresse Vertes.
I know its 3 but love Tom, so had to get 2 of his.
 
Only heard of Damon Albarn
 
What you never heard of Tom Jones!!!
 
Well that's a tough question because until recently I hadn't really listened to music for years. I usually just listen to what the family listen to..... So the last 3 I bought for myself were a bit odd!......

A Very Special Christmas 2 - various artists - I bought this just for one track only - Sinead O'Connor - I believe in you

The best of Nickelback vol 1 - this and the next one were strange choices for me because I don't normally buy 'best of....'

Souvenir: The Singles 2004-2012 - Kaiser Chiefs

and 4th was........

London Grammar - If you wait

I will be buying lots more soon....when I work out what I really like to listen to now......
 
Mastodon - Once More Round the Sun
First Aid Kid - Stay Gold
Nine Inch Nails - Hesitation Marks
 
Yesterday I bought the new Bellowhead cd Revival - No 10 in the CD charts so that's a bit of an acheivement for a folk band
Before that I downloaded The Temples, and before that I bought a Bob Dylan Theme Time Radio Hour compilation which is a mix of just about anything from 1920's to 90's.

If anyone mentions Christmas before December I put Bob Dylan's Christmas in the Heart cd on. All Christmas songs sun the way only Bob can sign them. It's so bad it's actually quite good.
 
Bob Dylan isn't the best singer in the world by any means but what a song writer, my favourite is a song called Forever Young, they used it in the US biker drama Sons of Anarchy.
 
To be honest .... I just download everything from youtube put on disc and play real loud in the supermarket car parks whilst waiting for the missus .....
I think the days of banjo players owning their own fleet of private jets and a Pacific island or two maybe over .... sorry superstars but I paid good money for this technology and spent hours learning about it ... be a waste not to use it .....

I love Dylan but ... he was playning on Manchester last year with Knopfler and a lot of people walked out part way through.
He was dreadful.

They have toured and recorded together loads over the last thirty five years.
Couple of his best albums for me are with Knfler ... it's where and how Knofy got his big break too.

Knew they had recorded together but wasn't aware they toured together.

John Illsley was on Johnnie Walkers show on R2 last Sunday talking about how he and MK met and their success with Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms is a fantastic album and still play it to this day, never get sick of listening to the track Telegraph Road, best song DS ever did IMHO.
 
Mark K lived in a squat in London before anyone heard of him and he would sit there stoned out on the landing perfecting J J Cales playing style ... he did a great job of it and like they say the rest is history.
J J died end of last year and said ... that Knopfler guy ... not one mention of my influence on him ... you'd think he'd have given me just one mention ...
 
Oh man ... the guitar riff in the middle of that never fails to melt me!
 
Blimey, now I know I'm old. Bob Dylan and Tom Jones are the only ones I've heard of. I'm still in the 60's.
