still on consuming music here:
i buy second hand. almost exclusively (unless there's something particular i really must have NOW). not because i think it's cooler or more real or whatever it just suits the way i like to listen to music. i go in into a good second hand record shop every other saturday or so and buy maybe four or five albums. usually on cd. i usually have something i'm actively looking for (I keep a list and a notepad by the radio), i check the new arrivals section (always a great randomiser and interesting insight into other people's record collections).
I also usually buy at least one "penguin classic"... a bargainously priced album i feel i should own but don't. then i go home and clear a space round the stereo and listen to nothing much else for a couple of weeks. till other stuff escapes from the shelves and the "out" pile gets too big and then it's time for a clear up and another trip to flashback or wherever...
