BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Yesterday I sat down after work and did some quick look over my online transactions for music over the last 5 years. Specifically I looked at how much was going towards iTunes and music through online vendors like Amazon. I rounded down the figures below to the nearest hundreds to make me feel better:2005 - $3002006 - $2002007 - $2002008 - $5002009 - $7002010 - $300 (On going).I need to stop listening to music. And what in the hellllll happened from 2008-20010?! (I'll tell you what happened, over-priced re-releases from our lovely labels! Bastards giving us good music repackaged all nice and shiny!) The whole iTunes $0.99 doesn't seem so bad when you click it once a day or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Really the longer your username is, it probably just became a signature real estate issue (I did some bad planning).

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Honestly Mark, I feel like my subconscious MAY be suppressing part of the transactions.

Datameister 2,037 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Oh my goodness. I'm pretty sure you spent more on music in iTunes last year than I've spent on any music...ever. Then again, I've still got a lot of years ahead of me.Also...yes, you do have bad taste. I'm glad I didn't get lumped in the more interesting idiots in your high priority list.

Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Yeesh. I don't want to think about how much I've spent.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 $500-700 in a year is way beyond any reasonable limit for me. And I don't have a set limit per se, just my own sense.
