According to my records, I have bought exactly 1 CD in the past 200 days. That seems incredible to me so I began to ask myself why, all of a sudden, I stopped having the need to purchase new (to me) music. I came up with a few reasons.
- Job Change at Work: I changed jobs in June of 2013 and the work I do during this new role is not one that allows me to listen to music while I work. I plowed through a lot of the almost 1200 CDs while at work (before I took this new job).
- I bought a Fiat: That Fiat came with a free year of Sirius XM and my CD collection cannot compete with the 80’s on 8 channel.
- The Motivation Project: For a brief period there, I swore off new music.
But, I did buy 1 CD in November…
| # | Artist | Album | Date Listened | Again? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1189 | Stryper | No More Hell To Pay | 11/22/2013 | Yes |
- Stryper “No More Hell To Pay”: This is their best album of new stuff since their getting back together. I put this in the Fiat’s CD player and listened to it to and from work for a whole week. Michael still has his voice and they obviously can still play guitar. I just packed up all 1200 CDs in a box in preparation for our big move in 2 weeks but this CD still is in the Fiat’s dash. I only bought this CD as I had a $10 Best Buy coupon that expired in November. The Best Buy closest to me closed and Best Buy sent me a $10 gift card to comfort me on this loss. After tax and shipping, I think I paid just over $5 for the CD.
