My last few CD purchases have all been indie bands after catching their shows or hearing a few songs that I'd downloaded.
I caught Mark Berube at a smal bar near my hotel and had a great time watching his show so I picked up his CD and have been listening to that a lot lately. His show had a jazzy/folk feel to it that made me feel right at home and the CD is almost entirely different with a larger band behind him and more of a Billy Joel/Tom Waites/Bob Dylan feel to it. Definitely a good purchase.
After downloading one of their CDs I bought both of the releases by Harry and the Potters. I'm glad that I heard their second CD prior to their first because the first is mostly junk but the second disc (Volemort Cant Stop the Rock) is some great high school punk feeling music that's all about Harry Potter. The second disc was totally worth the money.
Before that was DYM... an industrial band I caught at a show. I love having it for background music while I'm sitting here in the hotel working on my model kits.
And before that was some country act that I saw (got dragged to it with my co-workers) and ended up really enjoying (which surprised me to no end). Because I enjoyed the show I bought the CD and my wife has run off with it. I'm really bad with names and I only had a chance to listen to that disc once before it vanished from my car over a month ago.
Music is a very big part of my life and I have it playing all the time. One of my great joys in life is making mixed discs to share with other people. It also strokes my ego when I have people come up to me telling me that my discs seldom leave their CD players. Ego stroking is good in my books... almost as good as having music to listen to.
