You nearly posted it in your text without our help. ;)
... i would like to know a good source of independent games source...

Try "The Independent Gaming Source" -> http://www.tigsource.com/. That's a pretty awesome site. :)

My best recommendation would be The Independent Game Database (TIGdb) (http://db.tigsource.com/). It is a database of independent games, reviews of them, info on where you can download or purchase them, etc.

I also recommend Offworld (http://offworld.com/) as a good game news site, as the fellow who runs it very often posts Independent games news. Similarly, as Xiagan mentioned, you can check out TIGsource (http://www.tigsource.com), where there are near-daily news posts about different independent games and, if you venture into the forums, info about various games during development.

for example i would like to know where to buy fez
Unfortunately, Fez is still in development and it may be a while yet before it's released. But if you follow Tigsource news or Offworld, you will most certainly hear where you can buy it when it is released :D
