How we consume music. Or is it just me?

Buy less albums then. I have pals who are album consuming machines, but I wonder how deeply they actually bond with them.

This.

There's no way I could possibly do justice to 5 new albums every week.

For me currently there are about a couple of dozen albums that seem in some way current, maybe ten or so that I keep coming back to, and about three that I can't stop playing. That's good enough for me, for a while.

What depresses me about music at the moment is not knowing how to find out about new stuff without just going on someone else's opinion. I have no procession in-and-out of different scenes and genres like I used to years back when I used to go to see a lot of live music with friends. The profusion of information that is the internet is not helpful.
