I immediately fell in love with this video. Subtle comedy, great songwriting, well produced - what's not to like? Especially when you're introduced to artists like Dave Carroll and the Sons of Maxwell. I didn't immediately care much about who wrote or performed the song, like many YouTube videos i took this satire of a true story and chalked it up as a good giggle. When I found myself looking the video up again a few days later (because I couldn't get the chorus out of my head) I decided I needed to learn more and followed a few links. Turns out that Sons of Maxwell es a remakable country group from Nova Scotia who had posted some video from performances on Canadian TV stations that were fascinating to see and hear. A few weeks later and I couldn't convince myself of a reason not to buy some of their music. While I'm still waiting to get my hands on albums from the whole band, the leader of the group (the aforementioned Dave Carroll) did have several selections available on iTunes [shudder] which I picked up without delay.
I thinks is amazing that I find a great new artist because a ridiculously large business ruined a family heirloom. The next time my eBay item gets lost in the mail, I'll remind myself to write a song about it.
