if you haven't checked it out yet, try emusic

i mention this not as a shameless plug, but because it's easy to use, and they have lots of rare stuff!

you can sign up, download your 100 free songs, and quit without paying a cent!

they also have lots of interesting "best of" lists by artists themselves

some indie dudes:

john darnielle

ira kaplan


britt daniel

more later kids.
