I'd buy more CDs if they were cheaper
I did something that I haven't done for over a year - I bought a CD. Two actually. I've been using Rhapsody for the past 3 years, so I don't buy a CD unless Rhapsody doesn't have it or unless the CD is just really, really good. I think the last one I bought was "Tyrannosaurus Hives." And before that, it was "Elephant" by The White Stripes.

Well, today, I picked up Weezer's "Make Believe" and Hot Hot Heat's "Elevator" at Circuit City. They were having an "All CDs under $9.99" sale.

This 2 CD shopping spree made me realize that the reason I don't buy CDs isn't because of Rhapsody. After all, I wouldn't have heard the Hot Hot Heat album without it. It's the fact that CDs are too expensive. If all CDs were always $9.99 or less, I would definitely buy more of them.

In fact, I'm planning on picking up The White Stripes' "Get Behind Me Satan" on June 7th. I just a read a glowing NY Times piece on it and I absolutely love the "Blue Orchid" single. If you use Rhapsody, check it out.
