When it Comes to "Imported" Music, Buy Direct

Bonobo's "Days to Come" album: iTunes Canada: CDN $17.82. Direct from Ninja Tune: £4. D'uh!

I know, I know, buying from the iTunes Music Store is easy, convenient and so on… But it can be quite a rip off at times too.

Take Bonobo’s Days to Come album for example. I was about to buy it on the Canadian iTMS when I saw the price: CDN $17.82. I thought to myself: betcha Ninja Tune will have this for sale. And wouldn’t you know, they sure do.

Not only was the album much cheaper (£4 ☛ CDN $6.50) but it also came as 320kbps MP3s instead of 128kbps AACs and included 7 instrumental tracks to boot.

There you have it. Sometimes, it pays to run a Google search before one-click-buying music off of iTunes.

Brakeless in Montreal

Some like "Sleepless in Seattle", I prefer "Brakeless in Montreal".

Specs:

I’ve been riding this puppy since October 2009 and so far, the only things I’ve had to change were the grips and chain (too many ledge grinds…). I am missing two spokes from the rear wheel, but that’s not the end of the world.

All in all, I love my ride!
