Indeed, I basically look at the new releases Piccadilly have in via their website. This takes me most of the week. Then I go in there and properly listen to those that caught my eye / ear on their site, usually on a Saturday. Then on Monday the whole process begins again.
This has been going on for several years now and is ruining my appreciation of music. Here are 3 things I never have time to listen to as I spend my entire time that's free to listen to anything listening to clips off Piccadilly (I'm doing it right now, even as I type): 1. Practically any music at any other shop (I might for example quickly check the Hardwax site the week before a trip to Berlin and then go in there but that's about it). 2. Any mixes. It takes going away on holiday and lying on a beach with an mp3 player for me to do this. Before I went away for 3 weeks in Jan I loaded my player up with literally dozens I'd downloaded to my PC because they looked really good. In the end it was a busy holiday and I managed to listen to only 2 (of which the Delsin one was one). 3. Worst of all the records I've actually bought as a result of this arduous process! I'm totally sick of this. I'd way rather listen to my records I bought and good mixes than endless clips from shops. It's got to the point where my appreciation of listening to music has been damaged and I'd almost rather just put the TV on (this never used to happen). I know it's a habit I've got to kick but I just can't help myself! Hopefully writing this will help me be firmer and stop listening to so much stuff in one place I miss the stuff I'm really after at others (admitting you have a problem is the first step ;-). I wonder if The Priory treat this one? > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 13 February 2008 10:55 > > never heard of the internet? > for listening purposes, so to say > :-) > > www.decks.de > www.hardwax.com > www.rushhour.nl > www.juno.co.uk > www.clone.nl > > and then if I like a record very much, > i charge my local recordshop to get one!
