I was in the US over the weekend, and had the opportunity to take a cab. The fellow at the wheel spent the first half of the trip sharing how much he loved the movie “Taxi Driver”, and the last half talking about all the filth and corruption in the city that needed to be cleaned up.. possibly by an armed vigilante cab driver. Needless to say, I tipped well.

LastFM to start charging international (non-US) users. Grawrrrr! Stupid Canadian licensing laws, it wasn’t enough that you took Pandora out of my life. I’m going to go smash a pile of Nickleback and Tragically Hip CDs in protest. You can’t make me listen to your Cancon crap!

Note that the Cancon link is actually a really good look at the lows and even lowers of Canadian popular music, although he best be steppin off of Stan Rogers because I grew up on that maritime folk music, yo. It’s good for the soul.
