An officially released PSB track that's impossible to find online

#1 Post by daveid »

This is a long-overdue question but does anyone know why the demo of I'm with stupid has never surfaced on youtube? In 11 years I have never heard it despite it being officially released with Fundy on i-Tunes. I can't understand how with scores of official and unreleased tracks on youtube that this track is NEVER available. It wasn't even put on Fundy FL. Any clues?

It's not that different, and it's pretty dull, to be honest. It's even still available to buy, on Qobuz for example.

I like it, it’s got a more laid-back feel than the released version, almost reggae-like.

What about 'West End Girls (DJ Hell Mix)'? Released in edited form on the 'Flamboyant' 12", I bought the full length remix digitally (WMA) from Woolworth's online store. Three computers later, I still have the file and - I think - the licence key file, but Windows 10 has no means to verify or link the two - so it's so long since I last played it, I forgot what it sounds like, and there's no trace of it on YouTube. Wish I'd burnt it to at least 1 CD-R as an audio track so I could have re-ripped it without copy protection. Anyone else remember what this mix was like, or know of a (legal) place it can still be downloaded or streamed?

Unfortunately, I'd have to buy the whole album for that one track, alas. Anyone know how to play DRM WMA files on Windows 10????

Hello...

Perhaps an online converter wouldn't require the DRM key :twisted:

DRM is long gone on iTunes, I think. You can play the files anywhere.
Have a look at my taste in music:

That’s the thing about negative energy, about hatred. It can be positive. It throws into relief all the things you know you like. It tells you, by elimination, what you’re about. Sometimes you can only define yourself by what you hate. Hatred becomes an inspiration; it makes you think, “What I’m doing now I totally believe in, and I don’t care what other people say.” Guided by hatred, you don’t have to follow the herd. - Neil Tennant

But this track is a WMA file not from iTunes, so is still DRM protected. It errors out whenever it's clicked on, and Windows Media Player can no longer import the licence key.
