Where's the good music at?

[jchrisobrien]

Are there any stores in the Boston are that have a good collection of industrial/EBM/stompy music? It's time for me to start catching up on like, four years worth of music!

emusic is high bitrate, no drm. i've switched over to all digital (ok, well technically cds are digital), except for things i can't buy online (like some albums on tympanik, and some labels that don't have a deal with emusic). i listen to all my music on my computer or iphone anyhow, and i finally got some basic DJ gear so i can spin with my laptop.

emusic is also better value pricewise, so you can experiment with new stuff at less risk. the only drawback to it in my mind is the organization of the website. it's easy to find artists you like if they're on there, and relatively easy to find labels, but there's no way (that i've found) to keep updated on artists and labels you like, without having to manually look them up each time. last.fm for instance, is better designed for helping you find new music you might like (so i use last.fm for internet radio, and emusic for most stuff i want to buy).
