    I spend close to $250/month on vinyl and CDs. Yes...I know...I have a
    problem. I'm a total addict! ;)

    I don't want anything off Instinct...most of their catalog I got when it
    first came out as imports. Here are some of the CDs I've bought during the
    last 30 days:

    1. V/A -- Slow Mo Two
    2. DJ Food -- Quadraplex EP
    3. V/A -- Earth 4
    4. Jazzanova Remixes 1 and 2 (2CDs)
    5. No Categories 1 (2XCD)
    6. No Categories 2 (2XCD)
    7. Matthew Herbert mix -- Let's all make mistakes
    8. Fila Brazillia -- Power Clown
    9. DJ Krush -- Milight
    10.Machine Drum -- Now you know
    11.Squarepusher -- Hard Normal Daddy

    and obscene amounts of vinyl. I probably buy a 5:1 ratio of vinyl to CDs.

    Thank you Leslie...*pause*...

    Can the trading now resume with those interested parties without the moral
    high ground critique from outsiders?

    Peace,
