your first album

I was late to the party when it comes to buying music for myself.  Was almost out of high-school entirely. Before that I'd just wait for gift-giving holidays and put albums I wanted on my lists.

The first album I remember buying for myself was The Lonesome Crowded West by Modest Mouse on CD!



Back in high-school there was a locally owned music shop within walking distance of my house. Me and my best friend at the time both lived on the same street, so we'd walk up there and browse, and one day I saw this album and decided to pick it up since I (finally) had some spending money!

Before this album my experience with Modest Mouse was basically their "newer" stuff (though nowadays even that is considered old I think ), like the album We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank, which sounds a lot different from The Lonesome Crowded West. This album sounds a lot more rough around the edges (by design not necessarily a drop in quality) compared to their newer stuff. Also their newer stuff has a bit of a....nautical tinge to it? that is absent from TLCW.

A GREAT album, still my favorite from them to this day.

My first album, or LP, was "Portrait of Donny". Donny Osmond of course. I actually wanted a T-Rex album or something with David Cassidy. But my mother said I had to buy one that my sister could listen to, and she didn't approve of T-Rex. sigh. That was 1972, so I would be 11 at the time.

It was 2014 and I was content with listening to dubstep in a YouTube window, but I did get a JB Hi-Fi giftcard for my birthday. There's not a lot you can get there with just $20 so by process of elimination I decided I wanted a CD and looked up all of my favourite artists that I had discovered through DubstepGutter, but none of them had CDs. Except for the Bangarang EP by Skrillex. So I went with my dad and bought it along with the 2010 Alien vs Predator pc game. Which I still haven't played...

Anyways my fave track is Kyoto feat. SIRAH
