Fretless, you´re always welcome.

I used to do the same thing as you spoke about. Just buying albums, I either found interesting or perhaps the cover was beautiful. Mostly though, I have bought albums, where one or two musicians I knew of were present. It´s a dangerous and costly affair, exactly like you said, because you end up with a lot of new albums, you haven´t had the time to listen closely to - without distractions.

It may sound rediculous, but I´ve always had respect for any musician in the sense that you listening to an album the first time, at least should show the artists and your purchase the respect in not doing 17 other things at the same time, not being able to do none of them right.

Respect to you Fretless.

Best regards,
