    Who sings this tune?

    I was at a party and on the radio a very loud harsh band came on the radio. The singer sounded like he was going to blow his voice. Almost at the end of the tune he was screaming "save yourself" Any ideas?

    Does anyone know of a store in the GTA that carries both brands. I would like the chance to listen to them side by side. Anywhere from Bowmanville Brampton would be okay? Other than Bay Bloor Radio! I would hope to get a better price than what I would probably get at B.B.R. Thanks

    Nintendo.com and cables

    I haven't seen a component video cable pack for the cube at EB near my home, so I went to Nintendo.com. The site says I have to buy the cables from the web store and that they are not sold by retailers. Is this accurate? What could possibly be the reason for this? Low demand? ?????????
