I haven't seen this posted, so I thought I might as well. So what was the last album you bought or were given?

The last album I bought was Elbow at Abbey Road (damn manufactures pushing it back a whole week!)
The last album I was given, was Lady's Bridge by the lovely Richard Hawley, which was a nice surprise from my Dad. Funny, I got him into Richard and then he buys the albums before me

Last one bought was The Cure's Greatest hits a fortnight ago and it's fantastic, Super Furry Animals and PJ Harvey/John Parrish new offerings are next on my radar.........

Elbow at Abbey Road was the last one I got. I've just ordered the Frightened Rabbit acoustic album too which is out next week.

Elbow at Abbey Road is the last one to arrive. I recently downloaded The Decemberists Hazards of Love ( using a free introductory offer of 30 downloads from eMusic with Word magazine).
I'm just about to buy 'Quark, Strangeness and Charm' and 'PXR5' by Hawkwind as they have just been issued on CD for the first time (possibly ever, definitely first time in yonks), remastered with extra tracks.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Quark, Strangeness and Charm - haven't listened to it in years. In fact, I'm going to look for it now and get a blast of nostalgia.

Most recent download was AC Newman's Get Guilty, which is quite good. Last actual CD purchase was Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion, which is also ace. Hope to have something new by week's end though!

The Very Best of The Move. Great 60's nostalgiafest. I'd forgotten how many good singles they had and the couple of live tracks included prove they were a dynamite live band.

Last bought the much maligned U2, No Line on The Horizon - which is good.
Received Coldplay at Xmas time - a big grower.

Just ordered The Leisure Society and Doves. Abbey Road arrived over the weekend. Last one I was given as take That for Christmas (am going to see them in June sssshhhhhh - don't tell anyone!!)

We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank - Modest Mouse
and, err before that, the best of the stone roses

Last CD I was given was MGMT (can't remember what on earth it's called) and Pink Floyd - The Division Bell - that was an album I used to have on tape !!!

I've just preordered Bat for Lashes - Two Suns - I love what I've heard so far. Most recent actually got, the Hazards of Love by the Decemberists, which I'm currently obsessed with, and of course the wonderful Abbey Road box set.

(I too am now going to dig out Quark Strangeness and Charm and PXR5 for a bit of nostalgia - what have you started Hotblack? )

I realised after my last post that I haven't actually got a digital version of PXR5 - must have had my old cassettes out recently (perhaps I'd better buy the CD release to get back on topic for this thread... ) My personal favourite is probably In Search of Space, but the ones you mention were the first 2 Hawkwind albums I heard, so have a special place in my nostalgia - happy days.
