Hey everyone, Lately I've been here a lot, as I'm feeling quite alone in regards to my CDs and my overall attitude towards my music. When I first started listening to music, I had about four CDs which I accumulated over about 2 years. When I got into IDM more, you can imagine how excited I would get whenever I got a new album. For instance, when I first got into the RDJ Album, I would never even drem of owning such a CD as an Analogue Bubblebath. But then, I got new CDs more and more frequently, and I didn't appreciate them as much. I became so obsessive that I couldn't leave the city without a new CD everytime I went in. So, now I have almost every Aphex CD, and quite a big CD collection, but I've listened to them so often that I'm sort of not grateful for owning them. Music is getting further and further away from me, and I'm really worried about it. I'm thinking about trying to live without them for a while, because "absence makes the heart grow fonder", but i find that I need to be listening to CDs all the time. I really am getting depressed, and thinking that I'm way too over-obsessive. Sorry for dribbling on, but what do you guys think? |

i'm a bit like you... (though i'm more obsessed with my dreams than with music!) so i can't tell =/ maybe it is just a period, and it will pass... |

Sounds like youre obsessed with the idea of owning a cd rather than listening to the music itself. I dont have any advice sorry. |

I had kind of the same problem. Stay away from the city , is my advice! or, if you go, just take the cash for what you need, and nothing more. credit cards are evil! |
||||||||

|
|
*sighs with content* Thank you, thank you everyone. I had a feeling it might be a normal thing for music addicts. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
you're so right, supreme. okay. *makes a list of things to remeber* "Never bring credit cards into city." |

Heh, i had the same problem too for a while. Credit cards are evil, that's the truth. |
||||||||

don't worry. The problem will solve itself when you're out of cash. |

jesus can't you make your own choice..? you're obsessing about your cd-collection/collecting yet you can't pick which cd to listen to? |

toejam, yoiur in a similar situation to me. naturally you want to buy cds that people recommend, and this is a big board, there is always someone here who likes a particular cd, so theres pressure to keep up and buy as many cds as you can, whether you love the music or not, and thats not bad so long as you can afford it...a lot of the time i buy a cd coz people tell me to and im unimpresed, but when im without money for a while i go back to the old cds and relisten, finding good stuff i ignorred before. you beleiving there is something better out there is stopping yoiu from enjoying what you already have. also, owning a rare cd, the novelty of it being rare always wears off, it becomed just another cd, something is only rare untill you have it, then it becomes of equal standing to the others you own.... as to listening to music all the time, when your out, theres no problem umless you really miss music when its Not there, thats obsession. |

I say listen to the radio, then when I good song finally comes on you enjoy it a lot more. I don't know why I suppose subconsiuosly you always know what to expect from an album, but the radios "unknown" factor makes you appriciate music a lot more |

yeah i love shows shown on tv more than when they are on video, you have to get the most enjoyment out as you can because it wont be on again... |
