Has anybody else heard the acoustic/slow version of "Hey Yay"? They used it on Scrubs and now I just heard it during the Giants post-game show, someone in the locker room was playing it.

ETA: Oh, I think I found it. Here's the Scrubs version:



And another.

So there's this song that I've heard twice - well, once and a half - on my favorite radio station. Neither time I thought to write down something that might help me find it later, because I figured like all cool songs the radio station will eventually overplay it and I'll be sick of it. Except I've been purposefully listening for it the last two days - I want to use it in my Road to Avonlea vid - and they haven't played it! Not that I've heard, anyway, but I have heard Gwen's "Sweet Escape" about a dozen times and Avril's "Girlfriend" at least two dozen. *screams*

It's driving me nuts, and after all this time all I can remember is that it's sung by a woman with a very throaty voice, and there are bits in it having to do with - paraphrasing - being 'made for each other' and something like 'no one else knows what you've been through' or something like that.

I don't suppose this is ringing any bells for anybody???

I have downloaded music from the Season 5 American Idol CD. Yup, I'm a dork.

The crappy thing, though, is that on Napster all of the downloads are free... except Taylor's! I mean, his is only the typical $.99, but still. I'm paying $10/month for unlimited downloads, and I expect unlimited downloads, dog.

Country radio nixes Dixie Chicks

NASHVILLLE,Tenn., May 22 (UPI) -- It appears the war U.S. country radio stations mounted against the politically outspoken Dixie Chicks has not abated in the least.

The band is promoting "Taking the Long Way," its first album since Natalie Maines told a London audience in 2003 she was ashamed to be from the same state as U.S. President George Bush. The comment sparked a radio boycott of the group's music.

Although the album hits stores Tuesday, the first two singles from the album are not getting widespread airplay, Billboard.com reported Monday. The first single, "Not Ready to Make Nice," only peaked at No. 36 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and the second single,"Everybody Knows," is moving downward after its peak at No. 48.

WKIS FM in Miami reported it pulled "Not Ready to Make Nice" due to listener complaints after only one week. The program director at KUBL/KKAT in Salt Lake City told Billboard he was angered by its "self-indulgent and selfish lyrics."

Neither the Chicks or their label, Columbia Records, would speak to Billboard for its article.

And the fascist crushing of dissent continues!
