Interesting piece in the Ottawa Citizen this morning on ringtones - are you people aware that industry analysts expect these blights on the cultural landscape to represent a third(a THIRD!!) of the global music industry's revenues by 2008? That's ridiculous. This year alone they're gonna account for $3.5 billion dollars in revenue, and in certain places(South Korea, for example), they comprise twice the profit of regular music sales. Wow.
Megaman, a member of the UK's So Solid crew, was arrested on murder charges this week - I mention this only because the Citizen - the same paper that referred to Sum 41 as "hardcore heavyweights" a couple years ago - thinks So Solid is a 'garage band'. I don't know any garage band that has upwards of thirty members in it.
Riiiiight.
