One last thing from the Expo: music store divisions
So Phil Schiller showed this new iPod ad, and like all the best DJs he even back-announced what the song was (because that’s often what you really want to know after seeing one of those ads: what was that fantastic, catchy tune?). “Ain’t that great? The song is ‘Walkie Talkie Man’ by Steriogram and it’s available right now on the iTunes Music Store,” he said.
That it may be, but it’s not available on the European iTMS - at least not unless they’ve added it overnight. A link to the US store comes up as the third result of this search and yet the stupidity of record labels mean we can hear the song over here, but not buy it.
Gotta love those record guys. “Which internet do they have in Europe, anyway?”
