So, in High School, I was really into the Dave Matthews Band. Which is Ironic, because I didn't drink or do drugs or have sex...which, as we all know, are things that Dave and his band of merry men all advocate highly.
Anyways, somewhere around our Junior/Senior year of high school, Napster had been shut down and I was "sharing" music through either Morpheus/KaZaa (which, BTW, is the reason that last year I had to reformat my parent's hard drive. Go spyware!) I downloaded The LillyWhite Sessions, which, as any lame DMB fan knows, is the album that they recorded with Steve Lillywhite that nearly broke them up/was then replaced by Everyday (which sucked) and was then remade as Busted Stuff (which was actually pretty good, apart from the fact that some of the tracks aren't as good as my pirated versions...but that's another story)
Anyways, through the wonders of file sharing, I downloaded Lillywhite, which included most of the songs that would go on Busted Stuff. The system being what it was, some of them sucked, and some of them, ironically, were better.
But then there was this one...
I assumed that all of you have heard this version of Gin and Juice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvvmNuo4Tn0). During my file-sharing days, Morpheus told me that it was by BARENAKED LADIES. Yes, the One Week/Brian Wilson/Another Postcard Barenaked Ladies. I soon realized that this was incorrect. And afterwards, (this was freshman year) I realized that something was amiss in my version of Lillywhite Sessions.
In the set of songs I downloaded, one of them was untitled. The problem was--I liked it alot. For the sake of my own sanity, I titled it Too Blue, because such an ocular situation is referenced a number of times in the lyrics. However, despite numerous Google searches-I have absolutely no Idea who sang the song, or what the hell it should be called. If I did, I would gladly pay them for the CD its on (based on that whole fair-use thing) but, again, here is my point. Isn't it ironic that the internet can distribute things across the world- but once people get a hold of them, they have no Idea what it is they're dealing with--and Google can't help them?
A little big, I know. But this is what happens when I'm bored and random music pops up on my iTunes when I'm playing darts.
