I was watching tv today and saw an ad with one of my favorite songs from the ’90’s in it.\u00a0 Cadillac has apparently just discovered a band that broke up years ago . . . HUM.\u00a0 They were one of my favorite bands for quite a while, with two albums, “Downward is Heavenward” and “You’d Prefer an Astronaut”.\u00a0 I wonder where they were in 1995, when Hum was popular.\u00a0 I was at the Rave, seeing Bush, the Toadies, and Hum.\u00a0 If you’ve ever been there, you know the Eagles Ballroom is loud and muddy-sounding.\u00a0 This was no exception.\u00a0 But I was 17 and having a great time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyway, I would say Hum sold out, but I can’t imagine they had any say in who might be able to use their music.\u00a0 Since they’re not together anymore, I bet the record company doesn’t even have to ask for their permission to sell the song.\u00a0 Anyone know anything about this?<\/p>\n
