Collection update. June 29th

As you all might expect, I've been doing some buying lately.  While garage-saling and secondhanding in Illinois, I picked up an American copy of the Hard Day's Night soundtrack and Pink Floyd's debut The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, both on vinyl, and Pearl Jam's "Not For You" single on CD.

And today, I went to my favorite record store and bought a trio of Coheed and Cambria albums (only two are sequential, but from what I can tell so far, the story isn't really in the lyrics anyway).  In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth is OK, but I don't really see what's supposed to be "prog(ressive)" about the music.  It sounds just a step or so above modern rock, with the only major difference being the subject matter of the lyrics.

Collection update 6/2:

I've bought a lot of stuff over the last week or so, but I haven't done an update.  First off, I bought the great Appeal to Reason by Rise Against, who I already added to my artist list.  I've also bought a pair of Foo Fighters albums, The Colour and Shape and One By One, and their Five Songs and a Cover EP, and I believe I've added all of them to the Foo's list.

Along with those, I've bought the 3-disc special edition of Band on the Run by Wings, Eddie Vedder's sophomore solo effort Ukulele Songs, Death Cab for Cutie's Codes and Keys, The White Stripes's De Stijl, U2's Zooropa, and a promo copy of The Cure's Wild Mood Swings.
