Um... every few months I hit up the used record store... otherwise I just go to Target for new releases

I walked into a FHM or whatever not long ago and they told me that I couldn't bring my coffee in so I turned around and walked right back out. I used to go twice-weekly.

speaking for ILV here, id like to say that you're missing a lot of variation with these poll options

whenever i have time to kill and there's one nearby, i like browsing - this isn't very often though and i don't think i've bought a cd in an actual shop for years

so a mix of "quarterly" and the last option

― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 7 January 2010 19:48 (fifteen years ago)

What options am I missing here?

― ah ah oh ooh ooh oh ah ah ah ah ah oh ah ah aha ooh (HI DERE), Thursday, 7 January 2010 19:55 (fifteen years ago)

― 69, Thursday, 7 January 2010 19:58 (fifteen years ago)

used to be weekly/bi-weekly. now i'm broke and it's been like quarterly for the past year :/

it is amazing how far I'd have to travel from my house to get to an actual record store, when I think about it. Closest one just closed ... Used to work near a Virgin Megastore, but you know how that goes ...

― Karen Tregaskin, Thursday, 7 January 2010 20:33 (fifteen years ago)

Quarterly. These days I just buy via mail-order, iTunes, or direct from the band.

― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 7 January 2010 20:47 (fifteen years ago)

Basically every day.

It's dwindled down from twice a week to once a month to pick up domestic releases at Newbury Comics.

― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Thursday, 7 January 2010 21:48 (fifteen years ago)

probably quarterly, but usually to buy gifts for those that still deal with music via physical formats, or not even to buy music but incidentals (dvds. books, etc_)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

It's closer to 'everyday' than I like to admit.

― sonofstan, Friday, 8 January 2010 00:15 (fifteen years ago)

It used to be weekly, but these days I just get depressed at how much everything is, so it is about monthly now.

― emil.y, Friday, 8 January 2010 19:50 (fifteen years ago)

daily. or at least 5x weekly.

― Joint Custody (ian), Friday, 8 January 2010 20:47 (fifteen years ago)

At least a couple of times a week.

― mmmm, Friday, 8 January 2010 20:56 (fifteen years ago)

Two months ago this would have two to three times a week, but since I've been laid off its been about once every two to three weeks and then really only to scour the used section.

i went to Amoeba on wednesday, and i'm going back today. not an atypical week for me.

― one time gaffled 'em up (one time), Friday, 8 January 2010 22:03 (fifteen years ago)

most days.

― m the g, Friday, 8 January 2010 22:04 (fifteen years ago)

Somewhere between bi-weekly and monthly for me, at least if thrift stores and/or conventions etc. where records are sold count. Not interested in new stuff at all; only $1 used bins. And on days I hit one, I often hit a few. So voting "bi-weekly."

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
