Newbury Comics is horribly overpriced, often OVER list price!
However they do have the largest selection of posters, T-shirts,
calendars, books, and what-not.  (Actually, now that I think
about it, probably decent for KT paraphenalia)

If you have a car, or are willing to take a long train ride, I'd
recommend RRRecords, Paige St., Lowell.  Even if you're not into the
industrial/experimental thing, which they specialize in, they have
large heavy metal and hardcore sections, plus lots of used records and
a goodly assortment of independent labels.  But the best part is that
you can get almost *any* record they have (excluding imports) for $7.
That's $1 to $2 less than most stores.

Of course, if you like major label stuff, or jazz and classical music,
there's always the Harvard Coop, smack in the middle of Harvard
Square.
