Music Consumption!

A few years ago, i wasnt the huge music consumer that i am now. i would buy a cd every so often, usually from bands i was already familiar with. but then something snapped in me
i became completely crazed with music. i think it all has to do with the uncontrollable feeling that i am missing something.
before i would never buy a cd because it got a good review in a mag, or because someone recommended it, or because i heard one song from it , or because it was similar to another artist(s) i liked, or because it was a style/ genre i liked.
before it took alot for me to purchase a cd. im not sure if it was because of budget concerns or becuase i onyl stuck with a few bands. i wasnt adventurous.
in the past 4 years i have bought roughly over 1000 cds. now i go and search for music. i dont stop until i find what i like and then i expand on what i like. all because of fear that the band i pass over could be The Band that will change my life or THE ALBUM that contains a song that will bring my life full circle
i am currently lsitening to Sufjan Stevens, and i am just thinking that if i stayed on the same track of years before, there would be SO MUCH music that i would have let pass by and never ever know the greatness and wonder of these bands and artists, becasue back then i would have never gave the light of day to someone or band i never heard of or heard a song on the radio from them.
so my main point is , KEEP THE MUSIC AND RECOMMENDATIONS FLOWING!!! :d

in the past i bought everything that i could (all the rockers that i like or liked along with the popier stuff like puffy daddy, aqua, chumbawamba, all saints, etc...)
later i cooled those impulses off and now i try to evaluate if the artist is someone who i mighty want to listen for years to come.
and for a recommendation, my latest 'discover' was 'architecture in helsink'.
try the 'in case we die' album. good stuff there.
