It ended up in my iTunes, and I have no idea who it is.
It has this mellow dude singing these lyrics:

every party's got a winner and a loser
I'm jumping out of the cage
by being a referee
sometimes all I can do
?????????????????
I feel like a japanese

every party's got a winner and a loser
some girls are never alone
I'm always a little late
each our own individual game plan
reploy in order to stay
cut-off the bottom half

who's down with whom? (who's down with whom? )
who failed to show? (who failed to show?)
who'll leave alone? (who'll leave alone?)
(plus more verses)

?Ø = alt+0216 on the numpad, in windows anyway. alternatively, you can just copy/paste it from somewhere.

oh, and under windows there's a good chance you have this in the start menu: Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map

Ok. Now I know! Who are the other 72?

― Bobby Peru (Bobby Peru), Tuesday, 21 June 2005 21:44 (twenty years ago)

Hehehehe. He says he took the name cos he was into a lot of pre-1973 Jazz Fusion.

Here, you can listen to the whole "Riot on an Empty Street" album here, with nice dreamy pics, too.
