hmpfI think this may be the greatest number of CDs I've acquired in so short a time in... well, ever, I think. I've never bought much music (although I *like* music), and in the last few years I stopped nearly completely - because it was expensive; because I was cut off from interesting new music; etc. So, (for the record), this may be a record for me:
August (birthday presents):
Ghostwriters: Political Animal
New Order: Get Ready
Suzanne Vega: (self-titled)
September:
Gazpacho: Firebird
Seven Reizh: Samsara
Regina Spektor: Soviet Kitsch
The Decemberists: Castaways and Cutouts
Nine Inch Nails: The Fragile
October (planned purchases):
Phideaux: Fiendish & 313
Nearly all of these were discovered through fandom - either as recs by fannish friends, or via fanvids...
Addendum: Anyone (morbidly?) curious about my taste in music, check out the links to the left of the main page of my LJ - there's a link to my LastFM profile there. My account there is fairly recent, so it doesn't represent my taste perfectly yet, but you should be able to get a vague idea. (Female singer-songwriters are a bit over-represented at the moment - for many of these, I basically love one of their albums but not necessarily their entire output. Same goes for a few other people/bands listed.)
Feel free to rec me stuff I should give a try!

It's an absolutely fantastic album and the best he created so far. Or maybe that is Ghost I-IV, I love both and really can't decide :)
And thanks for introducing me!
