Shoplifting vs digital downloads

Does anyone know if theft from physical music stores has been reduced since the widespread adoption of broadband and/or torrent downloads?

I’d almost imagine lost sales would be less than the amount lost from physical record stores due to property theft…

The Suburbs

I’ve been listening to the latest Arcade Fire album, The Suburbs, for a week. It’s absolutely spectacular. It’s difficult enough to produce one amazing album…or two…three is next to impossible.

Yet they’ve done it. Each song inspires, incites in me soaring emotion. I’m proud that the best artists on the planet are Canadian. Many others, too; Ohbijou, Kathryn Calder, The D’Urbervilles, Elliott Brood, You Say Party!, The Organ, Hawksley Workman, The Rural Alberta Advantage, Land of Talk…

Go to CBC Radio 3 and listen. Enjoy. Even if you’re not Canadian, we’re a land of immigrants anyway so you’re totally welcome to experience a little bit of what makes us happy.

Light You Up
Forest City Lovers
Carriage

The latest from Forest City Lovers, a spectacular Toronto-based band. I’m very sad I can’t make it to their next show here in the city, but I’m sure I’ll see ‘em again soon.

They’re dropping a new album on June 29. Can’t wait!
