As I've mentioned before, I have a CD-buying policy of one CD per week. This is done both to build my CD collection (mainly for DJing) and to simultaneously limit my occasional CD-buying binges. While I usually find that buying a CD every week tends to give me plenty of time to absorb that album, a recent policy amendment has caused things to get a tiny bit out of hand:
When I was actively DJing for the better part of March, I started to feel like I didn't have enough playable material, especially considering that I was doing a gig at the same place three weeks in a row (it's bad form to play too many of the same tracks at the same place every week). So, I reasoned that I could buy one CD for every DJ gig I've had, all in addition to my normal CD for the week. As you can imagine, this led to me actually getting to buy WAY more CDs than I probably needed, but I stuck to my rule anyway, and now I'm finally caught up.
The problem here, as you can imagine, is that while it's easy enough to absorb one album per week, it's much more difficult to absorb three or four. At this point, especially considering I don't have any big gigs coming up, I'm actually happy not to rush to buy another CD, as I'm kinda overwhelmed with getting to know the ones I've got.
