Yep. I was the same way. I knew what music and movies were coming out every Tuesday, and even knew a place that would sell it a day early, and would make the 20 min drive one town over to get some of my favorite acts.

It is gone now. As are almost every place I used to buy from, and I would go to them a few times a week, and lord knows how much I used to blow. Especially being burned buying a whole album for one song. It sucked when music companies got greedy and eliminated the single in the 90's.
