where do you guys get your circuit bending supplies? knobs/outputs/switches etc.
do you get them from website or local store? (i am in the USA)
any help would be cool. i would like to try this circuit bending out and it is my first time! 
online for US there's newark or mouser.
can't help with the local store.
thanks ronin!
for EU there's Farnell, RS Components...
I'll 2nd Mouser, although Digikey is worth a mention here too

Electronics surplus stores (if you're able to find one in your area) are usually goldmines...
As far as retail: Fry's http://www.frys.com/ac/storelocator/index.jsp
not a massive selection but definitely beats out Rat Shack
cool thanks - there is a frys right down the street i will check that out! 
also sparkfun:

electronic goldmine:
radio shack, hehe.... errr.... if you're lucky maybe you'll find a store that still has a dusty, sad and forgotten cabinet full of overpriced components (only useful if you are in a real pinch!). i've heard that radio shack was once were a cool resource for electronics supplies... i guess when ham radio was a popular hobby - a bit before my time!
Yep, I avoid the shack like the plague. And like you say if it's just something you need in a pinch: like a LM386 or whatever I can't find at Skycraft.
I've been trying to nail down cheap(er) pots and may have found a good source here:
