I usually download the album first to see what it sounds like. If there's only two or three good songs, its not worth spending $20. But if it's anything Vanessa releases, i would defintely buy it. I have A Thousand Miles, Ordinary Day, Be Not Nobody and Harmonium, don't have White Houses though. :(

I get my music in a semi-legal way. I pay the $1 per track through the Wal Mart music store, and then I download the actual music from Limewire (which game me tons of viruses)
The reason is, the WalMart music store songs wont work on my mp3 player anymore, because they "expired" or something =/
but the limewire ones do work.

And as I sit here in this dark room
All I seem to feel is light...
