Somebody gave me an iTunes gift card recently. I thought that was so quaint. Here is what I bought with it:
A few tunes from Wasp Star. Ditto from Apple Venus Volume 1. A tribute to Joni Mitchell (various artists). Respectable Street (live). A few Peter Gabriel songs (Courage, The Silent Sun, I'm Amazing, The Veil).
I subscribe to Apple Music, so I usually just listen to whatever occurs to my small brain, but it was fun actually buying some stuff that I didn't have on my iPhone.
Okay, that's all I have to report.

Haven't bought music for years. Don't nick it either. But I've currently got a three month membership of Spotify for 99p. Although I mostly keep this quiet because this is a very bad thing apparently.

Most recently I bought three cds by Mothboxer, including their new release, "The Secret Art of Saying Nothing." Also, I don't know how soon this will come out, but I contributed to the Kickstarter campaign for the new Pugwash album. And if anyone is looking for a recommendation, I suggest "Pyjama Days" by Bent Van Looy, a really good release that came out last year but which I just got a couple of months ago and pretty much haven't stopped listening to since.

Don't you ever read my threads? The last record I bought was Pothole Heart by Luke Spur Allen. Duh!
Somebody gave another new-ish record recently, but we won't count that one since I didn't buy it.
Also, I'm thinking long and hard about buying myself this Geraniums album. Is this list eligible? I only know one song from it, but it's driving me crazy.

Hey, simp, how come you told us the names of the Peter Gabriel songs you bought but left us to guess about the xtc purchases?

Bought a good turntable. I've only had crappy ones before. Part of it is business, over the past couple months I've started a reselling side-hustle. Mostly eBay, some facebook. I needed a turntable to test albums I want to sell.
But pleasure too. Not that buying new albums is pleasant. It's damn extortion. Someone should try a business where you can buy records through the mail at a bargain price if you agree to buy a certain amount at regular price later! What a novel idea!
bought New- Damien Rice - O Sufjan Stevens - Enjoy Your Rabbit [kinda crap, really] Sufjan Stevens - Carrie and Lowel [kinda transcendent, really!] Neko Case - That album with the really long title that I get even more wrong the more I try to remember.
Thrift Store buys- Emmylou Harris - Profile "Best of". John Denver - Poems Prayers & Promises A Tubes album that I haven't listened to yet. A Paul Simon as above Roy Clark - Best of (Goofy Hee-Haw guy and guitar GOD) Rodney Dangerfield - No Respect the Smothers Brothers at the Purple Onion Heart - Dog & Butterfly Curtis Mayfield - Roots

Continuing… I have also subscribed to a digital service, Amazon Music Unlimited, so most of what I listen to is from there. But it does inspire the occasional “real” purchase… but I often forget about them. Only new purchases, other than the LPs above- Body Futures – Maybe It's Just the Weather (Download and CD) & IfIHadAHiFi – We’re Never Going Home (download and limited LP preorder) both via Bandcamp Both are Milwaukee bands that have a friend of mine in them (but not bought just for friendship- good albums).
But I think the only other CD’s I’ve bought were used from a ten cent table… and I haven’t listened to them and can’t remember the titles. One from Michael Penn, one from Susanna Hoffs, and a mixi-single from Lush.
…oh wait! I also stumbled on a 25 cent CD by BRAINIACS DAUGHTER (self-titled IIRC) – A Tampa Florida band that put out one release. The Lyrics notation shoves XTC album and song titles into them. It confused me at first. I thought the titles were sung in the songs… even though they didn’t make sense, but no, they’re just snuck into the lyrics sheet. Unfortunately the music isn’t all that XTC influenced really. A Garbage influenced female-led rock band. Not bad. Not good.

I just got the new Pearlfishers cd "Love & Other Hopeless Things," and I finally found a copy of "I've Seen Everything" by the Trashcan Sinatras. If I remember later, I'll go to the website for David Brookings and order his new cd (his last one from a few years is excellent, so I have high hopes).

Cool, I didn't know the Pearlfishers had a new one out. Thanks! He still has a wonderful melancholic style. I'm not ashamed to say some of his songs bring tears to my eyes.

Bought a dozen bundled XTC 45s on eBay, last month -- Towers of London, Generals and Majors, Ball and Chain, Love on a Farmboy's Wages, Great Fire, Grass, among others. Got them at a fraction of the price normally asked for individual singles.
