2004 album pool-what have you picked up to choose from?

[Stone]

Not to be a pain in the can, but I really want to know

A- How can you guys afford to buy so many CDs?

I work hard.

B- Where do you find time to listen to and digest so many new CDs?

This is the big problem for me. I don't have the time to really digest everything, so by the end of the year I've typically really digested only a fraction of what I've got. But I do listen to everything and try to get to know as much as I can.

C- Where do you find the time to listen to the 40 CDs you bought LAST year . . . and the year before, et al?

Another problem. I try to listen to older CDs along with the newer ones. Kinda whatever I'm in the mood for or whatever someone happens to be talking about at the time.

D- where do you store them? The logistics of dealing with such a fast growing collection is staggering to me.

See pic of my dining room below.

I just can't imagine being able to stay on top of so much new music and still find time to take a shower, let alone actually work and spend tiome with my wife.

No wife anymore, which helps not only with the time aspect, but also with the spending aspect. My on-again-off-again girlfriend and I don't spend enough time together to really count.

I think I bought about 8-10 2004 CDs this year . . . a lot for me.
