yeah, i suppose the internet has made being a music listener
more of a balancing act, but i don't really see a real downside to this.
the last 4 or 5 months i have been too broke to buy records and this made more of an impact on my listening habits than periods of time when i've not had the internet, it made me go back and relisten to older purchases that i maybe hadn't given sufficient attention.
things like downloads or myspace i only listen to a couple of times and if i particularly like something i'll add it to my ever increasing shopping list, but i don't feel under any particular obligation to listen to things in the digital medium a particular number of times, and when i'm not at the computer i have to listen to good ol' fashioned hard copies that a have bought in a "shoppe".
of course every once in a while i'll download something that i can't bear to delete until i have purchased so something do get rinsed before i actually own a copy. and the teenage panzer korps and castings myspace pages have received multiple visits from yours truly.
ultimately, there are wrong ways to listen to music, but there isn't a right way. so just do whatever.
