I don’t know what the Canadian equivalent of the RIAA is, but they’re a lobby group built from the detrius of humanity, just like the original RIAA. That being said, however, I would like to announce that I haven’t bought any music from an RIAA associated label in over a year. That’s right. Not a single not of music, not a poster, not a band t-shirt, not a soundtrack, nothing. I do not support the efforts of people who think, “What’s going on? We’ve sued the crap out of our customers and they still aren’t buying our products!” Not only are they evil, they’re stupid.

Here’s an easy way to figure out what you’re buying: RIAA Radar. Trust me, if you’re trying to ease up on the amount of money you spend on prefab crap, you might just want to do it here.

I don’t even listen to the radio anymore. Ever. The only time I’ve heard a radio station recently was when one of my friends turned it on in the car; I was amazed how little music they played and how annoying the radio personalities are! I’ve found more substance in the least of my ditzy aquaintances.
