Tangentially, where do folks download music if iTunes, Amazon and eMusic doesn't carry what you're looking for?
Bandcamp, and if that doesn't work, I just ask Jon.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Thanks--I've never looked at Bandcamp before. Just for the hell of it I searched for Throwing Muses and discovered this awesome cover of "Not Too Soon":

Folks should also check to see if their public library belongs to Freegal. It's mostly music from big labels, but also from small labels that have been acquired by big labels over time, They have something like 12 million songs at this point.
By my library's agreement, I can download five songs a week on my card (and five more on my wife's card, which is as much as I can keep up with anyway. Free and legal is good.

Yeah, Bandcamp is where I tend to get work from independent artists.

For me it's "ask Tumblr", which usually works.

Ha! Yes, Bandcamp is great if I'm looking for music by a particular band. I also check to see their Facebook presence, since they often have links there.

By the way, Jon, do you have a copy of the Seize the Chair single you played a few weeks ago on your show?

Yeppers! It came as part of the Too Pure singles club and they provide downloads for all the 7"s. I just emailed it to you. It's pretty big (12MB), so let me know if it makes it over.
