I tend to go in spurts where I grab a lot at once...like Alabama Man, Christmas and my birthday are my biggest "new cd" purchases, and usually it is pretty even between older "catalouge" items, and a couple of new CD's. I haven't really got anything new since Christmas because I am currently ripping all my cd's for my ipod...and rediscovering many of my old cd's. I think I will be downloading a lot more now though as opposed to buying them at any record stores...though I will miss the artwork, but honestly downloading from itunes and "other" sources is so easy now I have become to lazy to go to an actual store to buy anything (not just CD's, but books, DVD's etc.). For the record these days I find myself buying much more DVD's and books.
