YOU SAID IT !!! And that's where the money goes ...
Personally I don't do too much 'blind' shopping and try to have as
much information / reviews / .ra clips before placing a mail-order, or
else I try to get a few minutes of listening time in-store. I obviously
still make mistakes and buy based on spur-of-the-moment
decisions, which I later am disappointed by.
The only blind buying I'm inclined to do is a follow-up album by an
artist whose other work I like or a side-project. I have, on occasion,
ordered in the dark and come up with bad apples... never rotten
entirely, but gathering dust unplayed in a corner.
