Actually, I've seriously been thinking about this recently. I really and truly believe myself to have a music addiction of sorts. I'm always in need of a fix. I always want something new. At least once a week, I wander into my favourite record shop and ask "what have you got for me?". The reason I've been thinking about this recently is that when I wander into the record store, it's because I've felt the NEED to do so. It's not just because I was in the neighbourhood, it's not just out of curiousity. When I stop by three times in one week, it's not because I suspect they've gotten more stock in, but because I want a music fix.

yes. Yes. YES!!! Without question. Even on those days when I'm worrying about money and I'm thinking about upcoming expenses etc., I seem to have no problem picking up 4 or 5 new CDs. The only time I ever truly refrain from buying music is when there is simply no money in my bank account. Right now, I'm kind of wondering what the hell I'm going to eat for the next week and a half until payday, but it doesn't matter - on friday, I picked up sub rosa's Acient Lights and Blackcore, an Irresistible Force CD, Iaora Tahiti by Mouse on Mars and something else I can't think of right now. At least I'll have good music to listen to whilst I go hungry...!

Let's just say, there is nothing particularly unusual about this, not among this list anyway. You are not alone J ^
