What was the last CD you bought?

Saralee4

I hardly ever buy CDs anymore although I prefer it. My husband popped into the CD shop today and came back with 'Fine Young Cannibals', just a greatest hits for me

No-one seems to buy CDs anymore. What was the last CD you bought, if you can remember?

Dan Chipowski

Future Islands - Singles.

Absolutely top notch too.

gipi

Back to Front Live - Peter Gabriel.

Zippie84

Too many years ago to remember (must easily be at least ten years)

eternal

Mick Flannery 'White Lies', a long time ago.

TheBeardedLady

Kila - Suas Síos last week. First CD I bought in a few years.

Turtyturd

The latest one direction one...it wasn't for me, I swear.

GLaDOS

Assuming you mean Physical CD, Shatteried Skies - The World We Used to Know

I'd rarely buy a physical CD, but this is the debut album from an Irish band I've been following for a good while so wanted to get it.

It's all good - The best of damien dempsey

Custardpi

Been gradually moving away from CDs & towards vinyl & FLACs so it's been a while since I've bought one of the shiny silver discs. Think the last one was either Tom Petty's Wildflowers or The Dave Brubeck Quartet's Jazz Impressions Of Japan.

Zack Morris

Nirvana, I think.

yea Vinyl seems to be more popular but expensive. What is the appeal, the sound or actually owning the piece as part of collection?

It looks even worse when I am certain the 2nd last cd I bought was the previous One Direction cd.

One of my kids liking One Direction is my biggest parenting failure. :pac:

Bit of both really. You need a quality setup to get the benefits of the sound, which isn't cheap & vinyl itself can be quite expensive, though you can find some gems through crate digging. The fact that it is that bit harder to acquire makes you think more about the music that you get & listen to, which makes it less disposable. The physicality of a vinyl album is also lovely, the artwork & texture of a sleeve can be part of the listening experience in a way that flimsy CD booklets can't, or at least not to the same extent.

Taylor Swift's 1989. Gotta collect them polaroids.

Chinese Democracy 2008.


What a terrible album.

I'd still rather buy CDs than expensive, rip-off vinyl. Last CDs I bought recently were:

Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance
Anathema - Judgement
Anathema - A Natural Disaster
Anathema - A Fine Day to Exit
Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid

nibble

REM - Document. Got it before Christmas for €7, not a bad price.

Links234

Last few I got were:

Jupiter - The History of Genesis
Nightmare - Anima
Lynch. - The Buried
Vamps - Sex Blood Rock'n'Roll

languagenerd

Think it was The Gaslight Anthem's most recent one (Get Hurt) a few months ago. I have hundreds of CDs and love buying them, but I moved away from home and don't currently have a CD player over here

Hoping to get a decent vinyl player whenever I get a real job though!

Actually I'd take some issue with that, I've got an old ferguson record player from the 70's to play metal lp's on, it's a bit rough and ready but it's perfect for playing stuff like black metal on.

Ken.

My last one was the new one direction for my daughter before Christmas. For myself the last was Bob Dylan's Desire about 12 years ago. I did have it on cassette before that but it broke from over play.

There is literally no advantage to vinyl. It's just a matter of taste and hobby.

deadybai

Bought the u2 one the other day. Before that it was Taylor Swifts new one the week before and Bruno Mars Unorthodox Jukebox the week before that.

Salmon Leap

The Bothy Band - After Hours (weirdly enough) from that wonderful Mulligan Records label.

retalivity

I honestly can't remember.

I was given a free Seth lakeman album in 2008 or so...that's the last one I remember receiving

Aongus Von Bismarck

Over Christmas, I picked up a CD from a band that a cousin of mine is playing in. His Mother asked me would I buy a copy. Thought nothing of it, and was happy to offer my support. I even decided to listen to it. Unbelievable tripe. The lyrics seemed to involve saying the word f*cker and giving out about capitalism in an Athlone accent. Punk, my Mother tells me.

He really needs to buckle down and get his degree, as he won't be making any money from his music career. I don't think I've bought a CD in about 5 years before that. Even though I do buy/rent my music.

How Soon Is Now

Daft punk - discovery back in the day!

Today I received two I had ordered online: "Time and Place" by Andrew Cash, and "Red Earth" by Crash Vegas. Awaiting another one by Crash Vegas.

Before that I have no idea when I last bought one.

I agree, and I like the idea of owning something I really like , in a physical sense rather than virtual music - i like to see something like artwork.
Used to have vinyl back in the day and swore I wouldn't go digital - then in the mid 90 made the jump to cd's - been collecting cd's ever since.

Last cd bought Lou reed - Coney Island baby

p.s. i now only buy stuff i really like , but damned to pay over the odds for vinyl (it is a better sound , but back in the late 80's we were told it was ****e , and cd 's were infinitely superior - lies lies lies

I think it was about 4-5 year ago and it was Rolled Gold: The Very Best of the Rolling Stones. I download everything now, so that was probably the last CD I will ever buy.
