I don't know about you, but i lined up all my Aphex Twin, Polygon Window, AFX, Autechre, Squarepusher, PLAID (and so on) albums and e.p.'s and made an approximate calculation of what all this music must have cost me...
I got so shocked i had to change my underpants! SHIT! I could have owned a car for that money! A NEW ONE!

everyone that wants to come here wants the drugs...
Only students get it for free though... and the elderly get discounts :)

buses...
i don't do drugs, so that's no big deal...
My addiction to music is my problem... my mom has had a few fits, over me composing music to loud, playing music to loud, and buying to much shit...
But she gave up the battle two years ago... secretly signed my up for rehab though...

I've spent a SHITLOAD on CDs, mostly rock CDs... but since getting into electronic music, I've barely spent anything... I discovered MP3s around the time I discovered Aphex, so I just burn everything.
Looking at my pretty huge CD collection, I kind of have to groan at all that money... a lot of my CDs are just useless to me now, like Green Day and all that stuff I used to like, but I also have lot's of good stuff, lots of great classic rock and stuff like Radiohead, so it's not THAT bad.

the trick to life and owning things to remember that some day you will die, you can't take you stuff with you.

For me it is very similiar, Ophecks, with most of my purchased cd's being stuff I bought before mp3, mostly rock and rap.
But, now, I find that when I find an artist that who's music I really enjoy, like aphex, I want to bye the releases which I like the most, even though I have all the tracks on mp3.

I just databased all my cds, and I have 133... so say around 20 bucks a cd (probably more then that, cause I have a load of double albums, and a couple boxed sets) and it equals 2660...

I have to take the bus because we have two cars, and one has no transmission right now. :-( But it'll get fixed, and I'll have some wheels. I hate the bus!

Actually, I don't mind it sometimes... unless it's full and I have to sit beside either a crazy person or a really hot girl that makes me nervous. And there seems to be lots of crazies and cuties on my bus.

I have 2 cars but I still ride the train to school. It took a little gettin' used to but now I don't mind it at all. I'll prabably still cruise up in my car once in a while on nice summerdays though.
