Satanic pandas are so kewl.

Apple’s Canadian iTunes Store does not carry tracks released by Sub Pop, Beggars Group (XL Recordings, Matador, 4AD, etc.), Emperor Norton, Rough Trade, ANTI-, or V2. Only label I found available on iTunes Canada was Nonesuch. This means you can’t get The Shins, Peaches, Belle & Sebastian, Dizzee Rascal, Hot Hot Heat, Ratatat, Call and Response, or The White Stripes. Gaahh!

Please, please make indie labels available. If you don’t, I can’t promise you that I won’t kidnap Steve Jobs and make him watch a continous loop of footages from Con Air.
