My music addiction is far exceeding the depth of my pockets, I fear. Buying 2 CDs in 3 days is no joke. And I still want to buy another album. 60 bucks in 2 weeks? Ouch. The things that I do for good music. Sigh.

And no, I don't download, thank you very much. I don't borrow or lend CDs to and from people, either. You might think I'm selfish, but it's not that; it's just a personal principle of mine as I respect intellectual property. I'll gladly lend you anything else, get you something for free, and I don't ask for payment back if you ask me to lend you a bit of money, but lending CDs for people to rip is off limits, sorry. I always make it a point to apologise profusely about it, because I feel a little bad. People always come up and tell me, "Piracy is overrated", "Who cares about IP" etc, and they say that I alone won't make any difference since I'm one in a million, and I agree. But the thing is, it's really not about making a difference or changing the world. It's just my personal stand and I hope you'll respect it.

Thus said, that doesn't diminish the numbers on the price tags of albums these days =P. My wallet is feeling the pinch. And I still want my album.
