I didn't want to sound like a total dork, but I noticed the socks too:) His whole outfit had a retro blue theme. It was hot! Make sure your sneaker laces, they get tied. @unluckylaika Posted 1 year ago #

According to the CRIA website, its 40,000 units for 'Digital Download' to get a gold, Platinum is 80,000. Still impressive though! Good job guys, considering we're fickle. Once we find something though, we adore the shit out of it. Posted 1 year ago #

raunchy, you beat me to it... interesting that the number went down from 50000 for "cd, cassette, vinyl, digital" released after May 2008. Is that because more stuff was being "stolen"?? well...the look of the cake, it ain't, it ain't always the taste Posted 1 year ago #

Big ups to the boys for going cold in Canada. Recognition is good. Also, big ups to Canada for setting their bar so...high? I guess music sales are slower up there, maybe it's just too damn cold. Doesn't stop people in the Upper Midwest, but whatever. I anxiously await the announcement of Gold in the U.S., and I'm confident Dan and Pat will get there... "We run this shit like a Wendy's.

Thank you, April! Great photo! Blue Suede Shoes... I could swear I remember reading something about Elvis being one of Dan's early inspirations... Am I wrong? Probably. Just wondering. Ha. I hope Patrick & Dan get recognized here in the US soon, too... Posted 1 year ago #
