SHOP
Sub Pop store (Codeine) : http://subpop.com/scripts/main/catalog.php?cat=true&display_type=merch&bandname=Codeine
Buy stuff from the label itself, usually the cheapest, and your know your $'s going straight to the band, or @ least the label, Sub Pop, and hey, supporting Sub Pop is a GOOD thing!

Norman Records : http://www.normanrecords.com/
Lots of rare indy records; CDs, vinyl, the whole 9 yards. Specializes in weirdo, experimental, spacey, electronic, soundscapey, Kranky Records-type bands. Usually grabs up rare Codeine vinyl, check frequently! Good prices and exceptional/dependable service, ask for Phil!

Darla Records : http://www.darla.com/
Specializes in lesser-known indy bands, electronica, cracked-out-space-bliss, etc. Distributes many import releases locally (for the USA). Kind of pricey shipping charges, but rather dependable service. A good bet!

Insound + The Annex : http://www.insound.com

Other Music : http://www.othermusic.com/
Has what you need, indy or big, decent prices, not the smoothest service, but orders show up, B!

Opal Music : http://www.opalmusic.com/home.htm
Quite expensive, but specializes in VERY rare records, go here if you're desperate for those "hard-to-find friends."

Music Stack : http://musicstack.com/

SUGGESTIONS
SWANS
("Blind")

THE most miserable band I've EVER heard. This isn't goth, this is REALITY. This song is from their mid-orchestral-rock-period (some say this was the peak of their career), after sludge metal, before ambient sounscapes.

swans.pair.com : http://www.swans.pair.com
^The official/unofficial? SWANS site, nice graphic discography, lots of info & media, fan forum, many rare SWANS/related items for sale, prices are a bit hefty, service can be slow, but your $ is going straight to SWANS (at least Jarboe anyway?).

Young God Records : http://www.younggodrecords.com
^M. Gira's official label & website for SWANS, The Angels Of Light, current projects, and other great bands; info, media, most SWANS releases for sale, great prices, super service, everything is run by M. Gira himself!

SMOG
("Drunk On The Stars")

Painfully awkward, terribly real. Bill Callahan's songs of strange heartache & bitter misogyny. A pioneer of "lo-fi", think of Lou Barlow without the drama.

Bathysphere: A Smog site : http://www.pry.com/smog/
^Basically, the only Smog site out there. Join the mailing list! I wish the Smog Real Audio Archive was still around :-(
BEDHEAD
("The Dark Ages")

Bedhead, sleepy, sad, sincere, beautifully melodic, zzzzzzzzz...

Bedhead: Official Web Site : http://brainwashed.com/bedhead/
^One of the few Bedhead pages around.
LOW
("Lullaby")

Low energy, low volume, low maintenance. Slow & drawn out minimal tunes of lush beauty.

Low: Official Web Site : http://www.chairkickers.com/
^Your one-stop Low shop! This page has it all. Join the mailing list for more info. Bless Catherine, the webmistress.
BLUETILE LOUNGE
("Steeped")

Slow, ambiguous, tirade-tidalwaves to lounge-out to.

Bluetile Lounge: Official Web Site : http://www.smellslikerecords.com/bluetilelounge/
^The only site I've found, run by Sonic Youth & friends.
TWO DOLLAR GUITAR
("Let Me Bring You Down")

No bullshit, honest folk-rock; Sam Shepard would approve.

Two Dollar Guitar: Official Web Site : http://www.smellslikerecords.com/twodollarguitar/
^Another Smells Like Records operated site.
WILL OLDHAM
("You Will Miss Me When I Burn")

Dark-folk-country-post-rock-whatever: labels are dumb, Will Oldham is straight-up, laid-back. "Inbred-rock";-)

The Royal Stable : http://users.bart.nl/~ljmeijer/oldham/
^The most comprehensive Will Oldham site.
LEONARD COHEN
("Dress Rehearsal Rag")

A living legend, the ORIGINAL ladies' man. This song is from his darker, more mysterious days.

The Leonard Cohen Files : http://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/
^Best L.C. site around!
SECTION 25
("Inspiration [edit]")

A Factory Records band, sound progression was quite parallel to Joy Division / New Order. Section 25 is THE most deadpan band you'll ever hear. Pathetic. Monotonous. Repetetive. WONDERFUL. Pioneers of techno. This track is from their more electro-based years.

Section 25: Official Web Site : http://www.section25.com/
