Last CD

I normally don't buy my music. I just don't see much of a point in a world where I can have anything I want at my fingertips at absolutely no cost to me. Every once in a while though I hear an album that is complete enough that the artist deserves to have my money for the work that went into creating it. This happened very recently when I bought the Dirty Projector's new album "Bitte Orca". The album was named #2 album of the year by Pitchfork and after I heard it I was astonished. It was one of the most original and entertaining albums I had heard since Pink Floyd was at it's peak. I ending up buying "Bite Orca" which is the first album I had bought since Freshmen year. As of late I have been finding more and more new music that tickles my fancy. This is leading to harder and harder decisions on whether or not to buy an album because although I want to support the artist, I also want to support my wallet.
