From Napster to Morpheus, iTunes to .torrents (not to mention the popularity of indie-kid and kid-at-heart collector's favorite record shops), CD sales are on the decline. While this isn't exactly a news-making statement today, it becomes one when the retail giants finally decide to step up and er, face the music.

Billy Bragg loves Toronto, that is- not Torontoist. (Although he might love Torontoist as well.)

CBC Radio 3 will go on hi-a-tus March 4th. It's being called some sort of rejig operation, hopefully nothing like Ashlee's Simpson's jig rejig. CBC Radio 3 has long been a TOist favourite, but our in-cube sources tell us the site never got the traffic. Why, one wonders, when they featured great recorded shows, good articles, and occasionally finicky but always beautiful design. We'll remember, with particular fondness, a Billy Bragg show they aired a few years back. It was better than so good. With any luck the retool/revamp/fire and rehire that is going on over there will bring us a CBC Radio3 that is pretty close to the old one.
