Music Does Not Apply

I've been thinking a lot about how music purchases will fit into my 2011 challenge.  And, here's what I've come up with...music does not apply.  I went back and forth about this, but here's the thing...I love music, and I love supporting musicians.  I buy a lot of new music each year, and I don't think that I should stop supporting an industry that means so much to my life.  Sure, I could spend 2011 burning copies of music my friends have purchased, but that just doesn't seem right to me.  So...what I've decided is this...the purchase of new music is okay, and is not part of my 2011 secondhand challenge.  Sure, I'll still make loads of trips to Cheapo for used records, but I don't plan to stop with the new music downloads or anything like that.  My support of musicians is something I'm proud of.

So, there it is.  I wanted to put it out there at the beginning, so when I blog about some new record that I'm in love with, it won't be considered cheating...because it's not part of the challenge from the very beginning.  :)

On another note, I just made my first used clothing purchase of the year...all vintage stuff this time from the Ebay store, Vantage Point Vintage.  I can't wait until the package comes in so I can post photos.  Three days into the challenge, and going strong!
