It's a sad day. A very very sad day. Today I finally found out why Nellie McKay's new album Pretty little Head, which was supposed to be out in January, is not yet available on iTunes. Apparently she got in a fight with Columbia records (it just makes her all the more sexy) and the album that was all set for shipping has been put on indefinite hold.

Now, I don't want to admit to illegal downloading of music from file sharing networks, so I wont. I will say that this news hit me pretty hard, and when I did a search on the file sharing networks, I found a few of her songs were listed there. Judging by the names of the tracks only, if i were to download them, I am betting that there would be some gems, such as Columbia Is Bleeding (not about Columbia records, rather about Columbia University and their abuse of animals for testing). Another song that looked like it would sound really great was Cupcake which, if I'm not mistaken, is about gay marriage.

c'mon now honey stop denyin' or I'm forever gonna be a bachelor leave the steps of your house get down to the courthouse give me a G and an A, Y?!

If anyone is going to search the Limewire network for this song, I suppose (but have no way to know for sure) that the live version is better than the studio version, even if it is recorded from underneath some guys jacket.
