Looking for a way to fill some gaps in your music collection without forking over 15 bucks for a CD? Give emusic.com a shot. I think you get 50 songs free just for trying. They have a great indie collection (yes, including 100 Year Picnic), they are higher quality mp3s, and you get 40 songs per month for $9.99.
I’m trying it out for a couple months. So far I’ve gotten some great new indie music (some of the best of 2005) from Spoon, Sufjan Stevens, The Decemberists, The New Pornographers, Iron & Wine, Robbie Fulks, and the 88. I also picked up some classic Nina Simone, GBV, and Pixies. They also have a good selection of jazz, blues, and classical music, so that’s next for me.
