Musical Awakening...

I've liked music for a long time, but it's never been the premier hobby for me.

Almost always, video games and movies have taken center stage as my favorite hobby/medium.

Art has always been center stage for me, I've spent ridiculous amounts of money on art supplies/programs.

I've always been really into music as well, though.

I get most of my music of the 'net, but I've been buying more and more CDs lately, I agree it is a pretty good feeling to leave the store with a few albums in your hands. I think I'm gonna stock up on albums until I have a pretty stable collection, then I guess I'll get rid of my internet music network.

Lake Street, the one in Columbia Heights blowssssss..especially DVD wise.

but i usually go to lake street.

I love buying music, but I'm poor... I need to find a good used music place.

I download a few songs here and there, mostly to hear new bands and avoid wasting 15 bucks on a potentially crappy CD. Also for unreleased stuff, obviously. But I agree that there's nothing like owning the album itself.

yea, i download massive amounts of unreleased colaborations and stuff like that.
But I love buying a CD, and jsut coming home and listening to it over and over...

cant beat buying cd's...in my town we have a little second hand store called grouchos...ive taken chances on loads of stuff i've never heard of from there just because its so cheap...still get loads of vinyl and cassettes as well

they've got their own little website...i suggest you get a laugh at the "dont ask" section

There's a second hand/exchange cd/video/dvd/record shop reasonably near to me, they usually sell their second hand cds for 1 English pound. Their collection is getting a bit shitty lately though.

I find a lot of great stuff at pawn shops, and it's always a surprise. I mentioned before, I found the 1st White Zombie CD "Make/Let Them Die Slowly" on Caroline Records for $1.75. The other day, I got "S&M" for $3. When albums come THAT cheap, of course I'll buy a lot. That said, I don't necessarily mind paying $10+ for an album, I'm just spoiled on getting things cheap.

Maybe you've cleaned them out of all the good stuff 😉

I'll admit that I've listened to CDs so many times that they stopped working....heh. I still need to replace several from doing that.

I got Tricky's Maxinquaye there for £1. Relatively insane.

I don't even know what the cheapest I've gotten a CD for. Maybe because most of the people in my area listen to crap and therefore there's only crap at the used CD shop in the mall by my house.

I usually have to go to downtown Chicago to find a music store that sells stuff that I want/like.

i got Nine Inch Nails - Down In It for .95. so cheap cause there only 3 songs. but look on ebay for it its prolly around 40-50.

i got A - HiFi Serious for a dollar, my mate finds things for a dollar all the time. JB HIFI, i love you

I got Cannibal Corpse Wretched Spawn/Worm Infested for $5 at this little place near me called Coconuts

i've got a Cannible Corpse Live cd for sale if you want it, a skant $500 dollars...no wait, for you, $499 and 100 cents

If you're talking about Live Cannibalism I already have it.

Far as I know, there are no secondhand cd stores near here, so I'm stuck gettin CDs for 10-15 bucks at Fred Meyer, which is fine for CDs that I know are good, but its too much for me to buy too many CDs. Hence the reason I download.
