Okay all-knowing boardies, I'm in need of buying a few cds that I haven't found in local stores. Also, I find I'm highly tempted to shop online while at work.
With this in mind, is there a good, indie-minded website where my money is best spent? While I'd love the prices to be good, I also want to support music businesses with a slightly smaller reach than, say, Clearchannel. So any suggestions?

go and buy the corals new album.
make sure you get the .net right, might have to type it in twice......
I seem to get everything I need from ebay and amazon, the new and used prices in amazon can be very good.

I *love* Not Lame, Kosmo. I forget about these places. Okay, if I'm getting The Bigger Lovers, best album to start with?
-
i figured you either love or hate not lame... i only know the first bigger lovers and dug it from the first spin. can't comment on the second. also be sure to checkout the mood elevator if it's in stock. the atomic numbers is quite good as well.

www.cdbaby.com (http://www.cdbaby.com) is a great source for independently release cds... i highly recommend The Sugarplastic. www.cdstreet.com (http://www.cdstreet.com) is not as well known as cdbaby but is worth a quick look.
as check out rainbowquartz.com, it's without a doubt one of the best guitar pop labels out there these days.

Oh Kosmo, I just wish I didn't have a job so I could spend all day perusing every suggestion. Thanks oodles.

That's right! Hey, is there anywhere I can hear some of their stuff, just to get a flava...?

Why is I Am Kloot so hard to find? I've looked at tower and even on cd wow with no luck.

they are a very obscure band.
you can get it here:

It seems expensive, but it was 16 great british pounds in the UK when I looked for it

Amen!
The Telepathic Butterflies album is probably the catchiest thing to come out all year. Absolutely flawless. I keep meaning to listen to Outrageous Cherry, maybe I'll spin it when I'm at the campus radio station this week.

*sniff, sniff* You remind me of the old days at my college radio station. DAMN that was a long time ago, and maybe the best time I've ever had (music-wise) -- access to ALL new music ANY time I wanted. Oh, those halcyon days. Enjoy!
Just to date myself, my favorite bands at the time were The Wonder Stuff, Connells, early Lemonheads (Hate Your Friends), Royal Court of China, Voice of the Beehive, Bob Mould's first solo outing. Gee whiz.....
;)

The Wonder Stuff, Connells
Connells albums and singles keep turning up in game exchange for $1. Should I buy them. I only know 74'75....
I have not listened to the wonder stuff in ages. Their first two albums were great then thye sucked though, dont you think?
-
Yup, I agree on the Wonder Stuff. Actually, the only album I still listen to really is The Eight-Legged Groove Machine.
As for the Connells, "Fun and Games" is a fantastic album. If it's a dollar, it's money well spent (I think it's worth a fourth of a pint). Again, I like other albums, but Fun and Games is the gem.

Ok I will add that to the mental list.
I saw the wonderstuff in Leicester when Hup had just come out. Dont let me down gently was the key non-smiths song of my adolescence.

Not to mention, I'm also music director, which means I'm hearing stuff before it's released without being dependant on file sharing. And we just reorganzined our whole cd collection and put it into a database making it even easier to endlessly browse through stuff.

British imports from Amazon are always cheaper if you go through Amazon UK.
Try this (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/026-9526803-1094068).
Natural History is their first album, and it's great. Life In A Day is their next album, due out in Sept. (The 23rd, I think. I can find out for anyone who needs to know. It too is very good. I have an advance copy.)
