    Four Important Things I Saved But Can't Remember Where - A Cautionary Tale
  • France D'Amour-- the most played woman on Quebecois radio Her website (http://www.francedamour.com) has a free streaming version of it, but I don't think you can buy "J'Entends Ta Voix" in the US.

    Guilty Pleasures: What Are You Hiding?
  • I discovored some Quebecois (French-Canadian) music I liked this weekend (http://www.vikrecordings.com/projetorange/multimediaen.html) so I decided to buy the CD. iTunes? Not there. Maybe the all-Canadian puretracks.com? Nope. They only work in windows, only sell in Canada, and won't even disclose to US Americans what they sell (!) OK-- how about archimbeault.ca(sp)-- a leading seller in Quebec? They'll show me what they have, but don't ship to America. Amazon? Bingo! It's there, and it's a $39 import. I'm singing a song that others may have sung before, but this amazes me. (It's not that Canadian music never reaches here-- I'v listened to Bruce Cockburn for years, saw a special on Kathleen Edwards last week on TV, and heard Sarah Harmer at Starbucks this weekend.)

    iTunes Music Store Dance Selection Is Limited
  • The low quality of national, slick, commercial radio creates a void that podcasts can fill. I haven't listened to much of them yet, but if I do, that will be why. And extremely narrow niche offerings.
