Full of innocent children, One of them are closed

This isn't so much a post as a listing. I've been getting back into music recently. Music's always been something deep for me, though it's been a long time since I've let myself steep in it. A long time since I've explored it. But recently I've been bumbling around and have found a few new sparks for making embers.

In fact, for the first time in years I'm considering actually investing some money in music. Y'know, whenever I have some money around. So, for years from now when that happens, here's a snapshot of artists I'm currently hoping to explore:

• Rihanna — Music of the Sun primarily for the song Pon De Replay though she sounds fun overall
• Yuki — WAVE or anything else really, though her name's, er, hard to search for
• Rei Harakami — anything but [lust] which I already have
• Pretty Girls Make Graves — Good Health or Élan Vital as I already have The New Romance
• Catpower — anything. period. Recommendations?
• Jason Webley — anything but Counterpoint which I already have
• 雅-Miyavi- — anything since I only have single songs
• Wild Colonials — anything but This Can't Be Life which I already have
• Silver Jews — anything but American Water which I already have
• Jonathan Coulton — um, yeah.
• Soemon (箏衛門) — because koto rocks
• JJ Lin 林俊傑 — possibly the album 曹操 for a place to start
• Loituma — mmm Finnish folk music. You may have seen this around some while back
• Wolfsheim — Could be fun
• Dir en Grey — anything but Withering to death. which I already have
• Throwing Muses, or, Kristin Hersh — anything I still don't have
• Jason Mraz — maybe Mr. A-Z primarily for the song Geek in the Pink

As you may have noticed, quite a number of those are japanese. I'm hoping that by the time I have the money to throw down I'll be able to get a friend of mine in Japan to get them and ship them to save on shipping. Mainly because doubling the already high prices for the importer's fees in addition to shipping, yeah, not so much.
