I've been busy and lazy, so you haven't heard much from me.

Here's some great iTunes info to check out though.

iTunes 4.9 was just released and has PODCAST SUPPORT!!!
I think it's fantastic. I haven't listened to any yet, but I just subscribed to the CBC Radio 3 Independent Music one and I'm really excited about it.

Also, Nardwar has recently been honoured with his own celebrity playlist on the iTMS. Go check that out sometime - it looks really good, including some artists I love such as Ween, Mudhoney, and Warrant.

And don't forget that Canada Day is coming up this Friday (Yes! 3-day weekend!) because iTMS certainly hasn't. They have four different 'shuffle' lists just for the holiday, grouped by genre. There's an alternative shuffle, a pop spotlight, a rock shuffle, a roots spotlight, an easy listening spotlight, and an urban spotlight. There's about 6 hours of great Canadian music on each of the alternative and rock shuffle lists, and there's 50-some tracks on the pop spotlight, 27 on the roots spotlight, 28 on the easy listening spotlight, and 32 on the urban spotlight. The price is about what you would pay if you bought each track individually, but it's good to see all this music together, and it's good to see the iTMS embracing Canadian music. This would be a great way to buy some tunes for this weekend's celebration. If I had $300+ to blow on music that is.

Speaking of great Canadian music, it looks like my boys, 54-40 have a new record out too, that I can't wait to get ahold of - And DFA 1979 has a 4-song iTMS exlusive EP up as well. (I love getting EPs through the iTMS). The Tea Party are raising money for cancer research. And Thornley has an exlusive iTMS track up as well.
