If you're not using it already, emusic.com is a subsciption service. I pay I think £11 a month for 50 downloads, which means I get a couple of indie albums a month for bugger-all a track. It's not great with major-label stuff (I'm still waiting on more Rufus Wainwright, though I did get Martha). But I'm happy, I've gotten the Wink album out of it, the older Detroit Grand Pubahs stuff, and the new Antony and the Jonsons album.
But if you are thinking about joining and snaffling cheap albums, may I suggest these four (for which I am label manager, but we wouldn't have signed the buggers if they weren't majorly excellent).
