iTunes Canada: WTF?

Apple's Canadian iTunes Store does not carry tracks released by Sub Pop, Beggars Group (XL Recordings, Matador, 4AD, etc.), Emperor Norton, Rough Trade, ANTI-, or V2. Only label I found available on iTunes Canada was Nonesuch. This means you can't get The Shins, Peaches, Belle & Sebastian, Dizzee Rascal, Hot Hot Heat, Ratatat, Call and Response, or The White Stripes. Gaahh!

Please, please make indie labels available. If you don't, I can't promise you that I won't kidnap Steve Jobs and make him watch a continous loop of footages from Con Air.

When tards attack

If you still haven't read Jane Smiley's article on Slate, you seriously should check it out. Of all the post-election discourses, I found Smiley's article to be the most daring, and also the most honest. I didn't think what she wrote about red-staters was true when I first read it, although I can see where she's coming from. (I grew up in a tiny town approximately 25 minutes away from Stockwell Day's riding.)

Now, I still don't believe things she wrote to be true, the conviction with which I disbelieve her is beginnning to wade. Just look at this, this, this, and hundreds more like them here.

I am just going to assume that those crazy stuffs were written by thirteen year olds. Otherwise, it would be just too depressing.

Terry Richardson

Terry Richardson is, umm, so crazy. I just can't help but love how he makes everything look like cheap porno. I really should have impulse-purchased that issue of Arktip.
