I'm getting more and more fed up with how I consume music. I get say 1-5 albums per week, I usually find one of them, or at least one every two weeks to be amazing.
But, and it's a big one. 3 weeks or so later I hardly listen to it anymore. It's nowhere near how I used to consume music before. I bought cd's, played them non stop for weeks on end. I must've heard Depeche Mode - Violator hundreds of time in its entirety.
Is it as easy as that you think? Instead of getting music 'free', I sacrifice £10ish and therefor value the music more. Economically I have no excuse what so ever for not paying for my music, still I don't. I claim to be a music lover, but rarely listen to albums more than 5-10 times.
Perhaps this is the new way of listening to music? In a ever more saturated world we appreciate things shorter and shorter? I don't want that.
Perhaps I should just go and buy some records?
