Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross's third film score to be nominated for (and hopefully win a Golden Globe), and very likely his third to be nominated (hopefully second to win) an Academy Award) in less than four years. In a way, Trent has become the most successful and adaptive of all the late '80s/early '90s alt rock proto-alt rockers. I mean.... look at Billy Corgan and Scott Weiland in comparison. I'll bet they can't even afford tuxedos.

This is an excessively claustrophobic piece of music. I haven't seen the film, but having read the book I can feel the story building as the layers of normality shrivel and fall away, revealing a rotting core.

It's less sprawling and ballsy than The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, but far more focused. It's also super well-priced. Grabbed mine for $9.99.

Had no real Xmas - just a few dinners with both families. So no gifts, and as a result (obviously) no new music acquired by NOT buying.

But I did raid a new store. A great store with row after row of used CD's, like Sonic Boom or Half Price Books in the days of old.

I picked up Prince's Sign O' The Times, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Nocturama, Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear, a few Neil Young & Crazy Horse joints that I've had in formats other than CD, but was totally stoked to find again.
The Cure - Galore (because whatever, it's the Cure!)

kinda unremarkable but gene always sounds good

Are you kidding me? That's a bigger Christmas celebration than I've had in about two decades.

Well, I'm in a long term relationship but we don't have kids. We're both busy and stressed and live in a metro area, while our families live in small towns several hours away.

I had one dinner with one part of her family, and she had one dinner with my folks. She had about nine other obligations and instead of making the rounds I spent that time helping my mother put up a ceiling in the basement of her house. All I meant was that there wasn't a turkey, tree, gift, snowflake in sight. No cards or "Mery Christmas" wishes. Just one dinner with my partner and my folks, and a dinner with her mother's cousins. It was basically just a weekend in the country.

I don't know why I said several dinners. Must have been thinking of all the stuff my girlfriend did when I was doing manual labor for my mom and helping her fix her MacBook.

Truly magical.

This whole shit sounds like complete HELL to me. :D Relationships are BULLCRAP - ya gotta share the remote, share the bathroom, one goddamn compromise after another... Fuck all that! :mad:

In a while I think I don`t have to think what I´m going to listen next...

This one?

No, this one:
http://svartrecords.com/shoppe/2978-...pollo-lp-7.jpg

It´s Finnish progrock band (more rock than prog) from 1970, only album they made. Reissue with yellow vinyl, gatefold cover and inserts. I really love Svart Records!

Here is one piece from album:

Just listened whole Apollo album first time (I´ve heard before only that Ajatuksia-song I put here). And it´s more prog than I thought & the vinyl is green (Kalevala has yellow vinyl). Anyway really great album! Edward Vesala was one of the greatest Finnish drummer ever!

the split 12 " from Casi Cada Minuto and Imre Kiss.

AWESOME

Keep the discontinuation of CDs coming, please.

Wow, quite the deal. Online or from a store?

There's a midwest chain called "The Exchange." A ton of used stuff, one buck on up. I got a gift certificate and after a minute in the place felt stupid for never having gone before. It has rekindled my love of going to a music store, browsing and buying. It's the little things, you know. I feel like a kid again. Now I'm starting a CD collection! In 2015. Who would've thunk it?

Is there a really good, dirt cheap online store anyone can recommend?
