    Counting Crows' song "Paved Paradise, put up a Parking Lot"

    Need a bit of help, guys. I really like the mellow song that has the main phrase in the chorus of "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot". I'm pretty sure that the Counting Crows recently released this song, but I'm also thinking that this was redone, and another artist originally wrote it.

    My main problem is that I don't even know what the official title is. Looking on various Counting Crows albums, I don't see any songs with titles resembling these words. Does it have another name? Which album is it on?

    Also, anybody happen to know the song's history and who originally sang it?

          Joni Mitchell, huh? No kidding. It looks like "Big Yellow Taxi" is on their new compilation album "Films About Ghosts" too, so maybe I'll just get that. (I don't have any CC albums) Thanks!

                  Big Yellow Taxi was a "hidden" track on their last studio album: Hard Candy The track isn't numbered, rather, it's attached to the last track. If you listen to the last track for a few seconds after the audio stops Big Yellow Taxi will begin.

                                      by Patrick Sun
                                      2001: A Space Odyssey was projected in 70mm at the Fox Theater last night in Atlanta.

                                      Sheesh, this is what I endured to get to the Fox theater:

                                      1. Pouring rain during the drive in town to the Fox.
                                      2. Looking for parking in a humongous downpour, the streets were...

                                      Monday night I received an email from my Parasound dealer. He told me that we could meet somewhere half way between his location and mine on Tuesday mourning. It worked for me and I agreed to bring cash, since we were meeting on the road. It kind of made me feel as if I was on my way to make a drug...
