Hi folks. Long time/no post. Sorry 'bout that.

My wife has set me on a quest to find some rare tracks from her latest musical obsession, Rufus Wainwright. This guy is seriously prolific with the non-album singles stuff. I've found some, but have run into a few brink walls too. I've been stymied by one in particular, "Low Grade Happiness", it was the b-side to the UK release of "Going To A Town", but has not been released in the US, and I'm at wits end trying to find it to impress the significant other.

Where do you all go to find those hard to find tracks? Help me find the torrent/yousendit/megaupload path to Nirvana, and to other such musical delights. I'd greatly appreciate any websites worthy of my further investigation, and/or "Private" locales that demand exclusivity and personal invites.

Thank you very much for the link. I hope I wasn't simply begging for someone to find that track, although in retrospect it is probably how it appeared in my post.

What I think I need, and what I wanted to convey in my initial post was the fact that I've lost the ability to simply find what I'm looking for via that series of inner-tubes that connect us all electronically. What I think I need is advice and perhaps some of those "places" that you may have discovered and that you perhaps all go to find those hard to find/access tracks.

I've just started torrenting (I know, I know, Luddite...) and have yet to find a place or some places that help all that much. And I do try simple google searches and hype machine, but those can be brick walls too. I'm looking for something greater, something more.

Are there even helpful sites like that? If so, can you divulge them? That, in part was what I was initially looking for - not that I don't appreciate the help there Bateman, for I do.

I haven't been to soulseek in years I must admit. I got scared by RIAA activism on peer-to-peer and just never went back. It was about that time that I began finding it a bit difficult to find those elusive tracks that I once found with ease.

Perhaps it is time to go back, with peer gaurdian running simultaniously.
