uk and canada cd imports

A hint for indie snobs like myself who try to track down import CDs: Ordering via Amazon.co.uk is usually cheaper than you think. I just ordered Mark Eitzel’s new disc there for GBP 11.58 (about $18) total. Not bad, since it might not ever get released here in the states. (It’s a collection of old Eitzel/American Music Club favorites, rerecorded with traditional Greek instrumentalists. It’ll either be brilliant or absolutely miserable.)
Maple Music‘s always been a good source for Canadian imports, for those times you just need that great Flashing Lights EP that’s somehow gone unreleased south of the 49th parallel.
