Even internet purchases (ie itunes) count.  So what has earned your hard-earned dollar?

I haven't bought anything lately, been sort of short on cash since I had to replace the breaks on my car \:

I'm looking for a Doors LP though. My dad just turned 50, and he's quite a big fan. I wasn't able to buy it for his birthday, but I intend to give it to him any time soon. The one I'm looking for is the one with Jim Morrison's poems.
I'm hip, I'm cool. I'm a happening fool

Actually, I've never bought music before in my life.  Not CD's or music downloads.  I'm just not much of a music person. :P:

Three more:

Cars Soundtrack (from the Pixar film)
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

First couple of listens I'm mostly disappointed with the Harry Potter one.  John Williams didn't really but a strong theme to build around in this album, so nothing seems connected.  That's unusual for him.  The first, second, and last tracks are good.

I finally got The Songs From The Land Before Time into my collection. I guess action9000's weird shareware policy finally paid off. :D

I'm glad the policy kind of, ish, makes sense. :P:

Banjo Tooie

Very good but has horrible framerate in some areas.

Oh, and Viva Pinata, which I regret to say, is not what I thought it'd be like... Oh well, I still love Rare.

I just picked up the new Nightwish CD today, "Dark Passion Play".  Some great tracks if you like rock.  One track is a staggering 13:53 long. :o

I also picked up the new Sonata Arctica CD, "Unia".  This is kind of an odd one.  The first 5 or 6 tracks aren't anything special but it gets better. :)

I just got the "Enchanted" soundtrack.  The Carrie Underwood track is very cool.

It was starting to get a little messy with cds I've purchased over time just kind of stacked up helter skelter, so I reorganized all my cds (grouped by genre) and discovered I have no really good way to store 124 audio cds. :P:  Biggest waste of a half hour.  I think I need another one of those really big cd stands.
