iTunes Canada -- finally!
It was supposed to launch a few days ago, the launch slipped, but who cares? It's here! And yes, it's still 99¢ per track, so we're saving up here with our Canadian pesos!
Have I bought music? Yep, you bet. First purchase: Black Eyed Peas, Let's Get it Started (The Urbz Edition). 4 tracks, $3.96. Canadian.
I've been really enjoying the Black Eyed Peas. For some reason I thought they were from Toronto, but no, they're from LA. But hey, they have their own Sims characters, who can't love them? Seriously, they have a fun mix of songs with good beats, and they've ended up on quite a few compilations recently.
Would I have bought that in a store? No way, I don't usually buy singles. But this was *dead simple*. Oh man, I'm afraid to show Kate this...
Craziness...I can even make an iMix now: Burning Monkey Productions Presents: CDX2 -- on the Apple iTunes Music Store.
Update: second purchase. Sarah McLachlan - Afterglow Live -- in part purely because of the video. Yeah, it brings tears to my eyes, as do many of Sarah's tracks.
But also, $9.99 for 18 tracks. Hmmm...I'm already starting to think in a "track" way. (Just to turn all that mushiness back into cash and the cold hard tech world we live in)

Glad to see its here, even tho it's lacking a bit...
Ohhhh exciting! The first thing I typed in: Antibalas. Well okay, they aren't Canadian and last time I checked they only had one album available in the US store. New Deal: No Dice. Big Sugar? They're big but not to be found. Alright, Sloan? Yep, they're there. Sue Foley (this is a long shot I know). No Sue Foley.
All of these bands are available in the US store (with plenty of 'tracks' for sale) and all but one of them are Canadian. And I thought CanCon was going to be the biggest holdup.
Its a start at least. Thanks APPL.
Yes, I noticed this too
It's very weird. I tried to make some more mixes, and when I went to look for Big Sugar and Jack Johnson...nothing.On the American, side, both are there. Gotta love the Canadian music industry...because it's likely them holding things up (the copyright idiots, that is).
