Are you still buying music?

[zacharyamelie]

Just curious to know if HH members music spending habits have changed at all do to the worldwide economic downward spiral.

 

Being that 2008 is in general a killer year for great music, have people stopped or put off buying stuff. Or you don't care and you need your music fix.

[Faron]

Probably bought more cd`s this year than ever before and yes I`m broke

[Swazi]

I tried to cut it down this year and buy less CD's, but I have the feeling I failed miserably ! I am at 370 CD's right now.

 

[Rafo Phoenix]

Of course mate of course no problem with the rest of the world i'm from Krypton.

[metalhead4life]

Looks like 4 for 4 on the middle one so far hehehe.

[Metal T]

I live and die for Rock and Roll ...and right now im living big baby !!! Except on my side im seeing a lack of quality stuff being put out by alot of bands...

[Dead Planet]

The value of the Canadian dollar has dropped considerably so I'm doing my best to cut back and only pick up CDs through good deals......

[Blue Charvel]

I picked the middle choice, but that's regardless of the economic situation.

[JC_AOR]

Yep still buying quite a bit. I'm trying to find Aussie sellers to avoid the extremely poor exchange rates, this has helped me to get lotsa cheap CD's this year. I guess I have still been ordering from AOR Heaven and NEH lots this year but I'm being a bit more selective with purchases.

Well put. Sometimes I do splurge but it depends on circumstances, not on a regular basis.

[Fat Freddy]

Option #2 for me... I have cut waaaaay back on CD purchasing this year... which means compiling a "Best of 2008" list is gonna be a f**kin' bitch...

[SamboraRocks86]

just buying in sales atm, i just got 17 albums for a total of £35 including P+P so im happy with that

 

good stuff like Whitesnake, Kiss etc...just really cheap lately

[heaven&hell]

I went with opiton #2 but I actually have bought a heck of a lot of cds the last few months.

[Evil Rick]

I have bought hardly anything lately aside from the load I grabbed as my birthday present. Though we are both still working, it seems like we have no extra money ever. Maybe with gas prices coming back down to earth things will loosen up a bit.

[Jez]

Option 2, but that is what I generally do, so I'd say no change for me.

[Geoff]

None of these really apply to me. I bought a million CDs this year when the USD/AUD exchange rate was close to equal but I haven't bought a single CD since it dropped and I have no intention of doing so anytime soon until:

 

a ) The rate goes back up considerably

b ) I get some money for CDs. Seriously, I'm assuming my CD buying habits earlier contributed to this, but f*ck the global financial crisis - my own personal financial crisis is what's f*cked me up completely.

B

[cdjunky41]

I picked B!

I should pick B!

I don't want to pick B!

My wife tells me I should pick B!

B's a BITCH!!

[aMetalhead1966]

I'm only buying what I know I'll like and searching for the best prices around..

[Juan Carlos]

I vote for: I'm only buying what I know I'll like and searching for the best prices around, the financial downfall affects a bit but hasn´t killed my rock and roll dreams

 

Cheers.

[eaglesfan3000]

I stopped buying the expensive Indies now it's the low price stuff.

[Nick C]

Gone for option 2 ..... but I've cut down a little this year, I've never been a HUGE buyer just moderate about the 120 mark over the last few years...but may not reach 100 this year.

[metalmaniac777]

I picked the middle choice, but that's regardless of the economic situation.

What he said. Because I want to be cool just like Pete. Oh yeah, and because it's the truth. But mostly just because I want to be Pete-cool.

[sharatan]

hell yeah. i don't know anything better thing to do (perhaps sex and taking care of my exotic plants....reading french poetry is out of the question)
