I am a musicaholic. I have suffered with this disease for years, *ut it has increased in severity lately. I swore off *uying cd's 3 weeks ago, vowing to actually listen more and *uy less. I even went so far as to refuse to type the 2nd letter of the alpha*et, *ecause of its prominence in the name of my favorite music store. It didn't help. Not one *it. I left work yesterday, and drove straight to said place- *ought Ro*yn Hitchcock's latest release, and a used copy of Joseph Arthur's Redemption Song. I played them *oth LOUD. Junkie. The *iggest fear I have is that I will miss the *est record I have not yet heard. A voice in the wilderness, with an affliction worse than dope.

GOOD MORNING, AK!

I just figured it up and year-to-date I have spent $2791.00 on new music and $4141.00 on new equipment. Thats $6,932.00 since January 1, 2004. What's really scary is I spent about the same in 2003. I gotta slow this run away train down before it derails completly :yikes:

After reading that, I've decided that I'm a lightweight. Time for a shower and another trip to Big B's.......

Hi Tentoze! I share your pain. I can't go into the place you mentioned without feeling like I need a few hundred dollars to get everything I "need". That's one of the reasons I switched to vinyl. Unfortunately since vinyl's so much cheaper than CDs I find myself buying more of it. I have this weird knack for finding cheap lots - just paid $5 for about 70 albums last week at a record fair (could've had it all for free but the stuff was just too good). The week before a guy sold me over 200 LPs and 60 78s for $20. And the record store near me is good for boxes of free stuff nobody else wants - I admit to freely partaking of their goods. I spotted a couple fresh boxes outside their store last night - I may check 'em out today. But just this one last time.

I very rarely buy CDs anymore, unless they're ABSOLUTE musts - that's why I bought three last week - the first I bought since summer. Believe me, I could've gotten plenty more, but as Gary Puckett sang, "Lady Willpower, it's now or never."

We can get through this. It won't be easy but we will get through this.

Hmmmm, I must be missing something, i thought this was the GOAL, :guitar: not the affliction... :scratch2:

And do I hear a HALLELUJAH? DO I HEAR IT? :yuck:

OK that was bad, even for me... :D

That is indeed the conundrum,eh?
