You can't fool MR readers
You may remember that a month or so ago I pledged, as an experiment in innovative consumption, not to buy a new CD for an entire year. Some of you -- agnotheists I suppose -- said I wouldn't last three weeks but you were wrong. I lasted three weeks and two days. As I carried my CD up to the counter at Borders, the sales clerk smiled gently. He then announced that he was a loyal MR reader who visits the blog twice a day. I didn't even have to agonize over whether I was obliged to report my weakness to you all.
I haven't unwrapped it yet.

At least for buying from RIAA-associated labels, I managed to last about 3 years at one stretch. If you count all CDs I can go about a year usually. Radio gets me most of the classical I don't own, and everything else can be had on iTunes. Then again, I do most of my listening at the computer.

I lasted 5 years. Ah... parents are a blessing :D

Amy Winehouse was getting lot of tabloid attention. So I gave it a listen just so I could be sure to annoy her. I must have listened to that album 50 times now. It's pretty awesome.

If you only used iTunes you would never have to buy a CD again. I am pretty sure there is not a 12 Step for CD buyers.

Whats with all these skinny English girls sounding like black American soul singers? Amy Winehouse and Joss Stone? It is part of the Karaoke-isation of pop brought on under Simon Cowell's malign influence.

Ever since online music downloads become available for purchase without worrying about spyware, viruses, or moral dilemmas I've been CD-free for a while...

I happened to be listining to that particular album while reading the post.

Haven't bought a CD in years or a book in over a year. These habits can be beat.

It's a fine album-- my main complaint is that it's really short.

大家好，我是臺灣人，從臺灣一個人搬家來到美國，環境很陌生，感覺很孤單。以前在臺灣幾家知名的徵信社工作過，我是一個優秀的徵信工作者，希望早點找到適合自己的工作。希望通過貴站，認識更多的朋友。
