How important is all this music malarkey to you? If your house was on fire would you bother trying to save your record/CD collection and /or guitars? Do you have to take a ghettoblaster on holiday with you? Are you unable to go jogging around Central/Hyde/whatever park without being plugged in to your walkman? Could you survive in a Taliban-type culture?

As for m'self I spent 2 years travelling the globe without listening to any music (not counting stuff being played in shops, bars etc). Before I set off, I thought I'd really miss it, but never did.
