Parasol Records
Imagine a cool indie record store sans the snobby/indifferent/idiotic store clerk behind the counter and you've got Parasol.  Great source for those hard-to-find Velvet Crush releases, plus loads of other  obscurities.  I've discovered many a great band through Parasol, and their service is second to none.  Check 'em out.
Bobsled Records
Home page for the label that released
Free Expression.  Also the label home to the Waxwings' Low To The Ground, one of the best albums of 2000.
Shake It Up
Good pop resource site with loads and loads of reviews, not only of VC albums but tons of other bands as well.
Not Lame Records
Bruce and the gang at Not Lame also provide top-notch service and a great selection of pop releases.  Imports, tributes, and just about every pop group ever to hit the wax.
White Soul
The original Velvet Crush fan site, and where yours truly got his start.  Great interviews that explain in detail the
Heavy Changes-era turmoil.  You can also read my review (and interview of Ric) for Free Expression.
