"If people spent 1/10th as much on music as they did on corsets for instance, you wouldn`t see LJ full of bands whinging that the scene is dead." (markeris, on the goth scene, from here.)

I can hardly believe how much money I used to spend on records and how little I do now. Not that I spend it on clothes either. Nor am I making it up in MP3s. Mostly I'm just wishing I had my old vinyl here. With a laser turntable.

Discuss.

(By the way, full points to mickmercer for switching on comments at last. A lot of interesting ones, too.)
