    I googled "throwing muses same sun lyrics" for quoting purposes (what can I say, my memory's shit), and I got this result:
    http://lyrics.rare-lyrics.com/T/Throwing-Muses/Same-Sun.html


    Throwing Muses
    Same Sun

    In response to a complaint we have received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed a result from this page.

    Looks like lyric sites are hitting hard times right now.

    I obviously don't think that KH or anyone representing her would ask for lyrics to be taken down from a website. I suppose they do it preventively to avoid prosecution and add them only if it's been proved "safe"?

    An interesting related read: "Why I Copyfight" by Cory Doctorow.

    Um, where did my post go? Am I being spam-filtered again?

    Doesn't seem like the Akismet spam filter likes you much, Franck! But we do, so don't worry!

    Crikey, that could be a problem , especialy with K saying she had to google her own lyrics the other day!
    I love lyrics site, such a handy reference, it makes me sad that they might disappear, it's already getting harder to find good guitar tab.

    Cory Doctorow is one of my heroes... I first heard of him when he was interviewed here on Radio National by Phillip Adams. I believe B&K are fans also.
