What I have been purchasing lately

If there is one thing I spend on too much, it would probably be on CDs of my favorite bands. It is really hard to purchase records of awesome acts in this country, so I had to pay a lot for shipping.

The Strokes

Finding copies of Strokes CDs here are impossible, since they have released the first three albums years ago. I was so stoked that I was able to get that ----- Is This It cover. I prefer that than the American version; and besides, it has been hailed as one of the best album covers of all time.

MGMT

I was lucky enough to snag a copy of Congratulations at some local record store here (before they pulled out every single copy). The Oracular Spectacular copy, however, was bought from Amazon.

Arctic Monkeys

I was able to get the first three albums of the Monkeys, all locally. I was just lucky that day though, because I have never seen another copy of the first two albums after I bought mine.

The Last Shadow Puppets

I am not fond of Miles Kane, but I adore Alex Turner. I bought this album mainly because of the inside art. It was worth it anyway, since my brother loves TLSP that he is hoping for a second album too.

Vampire Weekend

Amongst all the albums I was dying to purchase, Vampire Weekend's albums were the ones I had a very tough time to find. It was impossible to find locally, and everytime I ask if they have 'Vampire Weekend' albums, they end up giving me Vampire Diaries' soundtrack. So thank God for Amazon.

It would be really awesome if I could easily buy the CDs I want without thinking about how expensive the shipping fee would be. I wonder if that time would come.
