(idm) Emanate limited-ness/record buying addiction

Hey.  Just wondering if anyone knows how limited (if they are at all) the
if.then.else and Lillianthal releases are.  I have the comp and want to
pick up those albums but don't have much cash to spend, blah, blah--you
know.  I've heard about the Sybarite 7".  Am I gonna have to pick that
sucker up too??  One of those Sybarite tracks on the comp was one of my
very favorites).  Is anyone else out there as addicted to buying records?
I mean, I often feel the need--most especially w/ limited releases--to buy
stuff even when I don't necessarily have the money for it.  I wouldn't say
that I'm a "record collector" really, it's just that I feel like I won't
get to hear certain things if I don't pick them up right away (or at least
order them from Pj).  Anyway, I need to cut back that's all.  Is there
someone that can help me?  I'm thinking maybe there's a place somewhere set
up like a methadone clinic.  You know, they hand out mixtapes (not as
thrilling as a slab of vinyl, but enough to take the edge off), and offer a
stylus exchange program...ok I'm going to stop now.  Any help with the
Emanate stuff or my fiendish obsession with music is much appreciated.
