Where can I buy Nixon CDs?

How can I find more music by Nixon?

So, I love Sally Shapiro's "Anorak Christmas," and when I found out it was a cover of a song by the (band? guy?) Nixon, I went looking for more. Because of the name, I can't find ANYTHING. Even googling the singer's name mostly gets me articles about Sally Shapiro. I managed to download one of their records (Crazy, Sexy, Cool), but I need more! I need to find a way to buy their CDs. Help!

I have no clue, but a quick amazon search came up with "The Nixons"

His name is Roger Gunnarsson so try searching "Roger Gunnarsson Nixon"

The Discography should help. I'm not entirely sure it's the same group, but it's the group I remember from the 90s.

The Nixons had a pretty popular song called "Sister" way, way back. It was like the first CD I ever owned, which is a deep, dark secret. Anyway, I don't think it's that band. Fire&Wings answer is more likely.

It's not the Nixons. It's Nixon. Here's his MySpace. His records are all on fairly obscure, teensy international indiepop labels and will require some legwork to track down--there's a discography on the MySpace page.

There is a nixon who appears to be available for purchase/download from emusic, but he doesn't seem to be the same as the myspace guy.

The songwriter's name is Roger Gunnarsson if that helps and AllMusic.com has a page for his band Nixon: Link
There is also a "Buy" tab.

(Full disclosure: I work for AllMusic.com)

The page for him on TweeNet also gives the discography, with labels and release dates. Could that help?
