Wonderful article here, which phase are you in?

I think I am continually cycling back to the crusade phase. Every time I get beyond it I find myself back in the stores looking for more even more obscure and rare titles. I look at my collection of Cd's and I know that there are more that I need.

Thanks for the link. That is too funny! I find myself repeatedly going through the first 3 stages (Discovery, Expansion, Fandom), and ocassionally #6 (Renewal) and #4 (Nostalgia).

I like "The Six Phases of a Project" list he put at the top of his article too. That crap just happens too often.

DarkAngel is at the 7th level.

Is there a 6.5? Basically, you've reached the 7th level, but for different reasons -- not actual maturity, but just knowing you can never hear it all, so you don't bother trying any more. One still stumbles across the occasional masterpiece, but doesn't return the unlistenable crap to the used CD store...not just yet...still want to listen to them all one more time...JIC I'm missing something...

I am constantly expanding. Sometimes I try to get nostalgic, but then I remember how most of my old stuff is crap.

I really haven't been alive long enough to go threw too many of those. However I do find myself buying CDs just because a member of my favourite band has some vague connection to the CD/Band (I find myself doing this alot).

yep, I do that alot too. and constantly cycling through the first three phases

The "phase" I find myself in depends on the genre of music.

Jazz -- phase 1
Most kinds of ethnic music -- phase 2
Classical -- phase 4
Celtic folk music -- phase 5 (regressing to phase 3 occasionally)
Electroambient -- phase 6

I probably lack the karma of progressing to phase 7

: I don't like the idea of "trimming" my collection, and the re-sale prices at used CD stores are simply not worth the trouble.
