Turns out it's a local band called souls harbor, and the track called "raise your fist" surprisingly. Google was no help and I had to trek the dredges of myspace local rock bands to stumble across it. Well at least it won't bother me anymore :)

Ok.

I am fairly sure that this band is from the UK. They look like they are in the very early 20s. They sound like they were very influenced by twee/indie pop (the poppier Sarah Records stuff, as well as Orange Juice and others). I can't remember any of the lyrics.

The video happens in a recording studio, I'm fairly sure that both a guy and a girl are singing the vocals. I think they are at least 5 or 6 in the band. There is a keyboard involved. During the video, "cutesy" things start to happen. I seem to remember things like unicorns popping up or what the gently caress ever. Plenty of color, etc... It works really well with the song actually, and doesn't look nearly as dreadful as on paper.

I seem to remember it was very catchy, and I saw that video within the last year or so.

I occasionally listen to the radio show "This American Life," and they will occasionally use short bits of a piece of classical music that I'm sure I've heard before and that I know is fairly well-known as far as classical music goes, but I cannot for the life of me identify it.

This American Life could spawn its own "Help me identify" thread.

I've picked off a good number, but there are so many more. Oh so many :(

I've been listening a lot to their debut album for a while now :downs:. I (re)discovered that band through Steve Merchant's Radio 6 show, just never checked the videos on youtube (and I don't have MTV/etc). Well, thanks a lot, though now I feel slightly stupid.

I heard this in a mix. This particular song is a weird mashup between this riff and samples from the Hello Moto ringtone on a bunch of motorola phones. I know I've heard this riff before somewhere... does anyone know what song this comes from?

How about the electronic tune that is being used to advertise the new series of Ghost Whisperer on Living TV (UK Satellite channel)

It is pretty awesome, but googling, looking on living tvs' website, the digital spy forums and youtube have drawn blanks.

I suppose it could have been made in house especially for the ad, but I doubt it.

I've heard a song I really liked at the bar today. It kind of sounds like classic rock (if I had to place it, I'd say '70s but I could be wrong), and it was mostly pretty hard to make out the words. Except the chorus.

It went something like this:

...and I'm singing, La la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la...
la-la la la la la la la la la la la la...
and so on.

Please help me identify it, goons?

According to this it is indeed something done specifically for the show, apparently by the show's composer Mark Snow.

Looking for a song that sounds kinda like Enya or something, with a constant woman's voice singing doo doo doo doo throughout the entire song. Its very monotone and a steady beat.

Nope, slower than that. The doo doo doo part is a constant pitch and tempo throughout the song.

Alright this is driving me crazy. I think this was a 80s industrial song. All I remember is the lyrics "yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah" and the video had these tiki masks or something bobbing back and forth...

Anybody? Please? :)

Nobody? The video was in black and white from what I remember. That's all I got though, the yeah yeah yeah and the tiki masks bobbing back and forth.

Assuming there are at least a couple avid Shearwater fans here, this shouldn't be too difficult:

NPR's "Live Concerts from All Songs Considered" put up a podcast of a June 15 show in D.C. (Available at NPR.org or iTunes).

I want to know the name of the song that they play immediately following "Rooks." It starts at around the 17:30 mark of the podcast.

There's a song I hear on the Muzak all the time lately--it is, for the most part, a three chord progression on what sounds like a banjo. There's a female singer with a dopey-high voice...

Can't figure out what it is, though.

I've been racking my little brain trying to remember the name of the song or band that did a video a couple years ago with some real interesting video techniques. They used something similar to when you're having bad weather and your satellite TV (or digital cable) goes all pixelated and then it comes back and the frozen pixels shift within the outlines of moving objects before clearing up. I think there was another part in the video where the band was dressed in black body suits and playing their instruments wearing white gloves for contrast.

It was a sweet as hell video, but I can't for the life of me remember the name of the song or band.

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

There was a song and it had this guy singing psudeo chineese in a reeealy high pitched voice. At the beginning it's kind of upbeat, but about halfway through it shifts to a slower sound. It's really short, about 1:40. Can anybody help me find this song?

This should be easy. I hope.

Its a cover of "psycho killer" by Talking Heads. Its slower, I think it's acoustic, and the singer is male and sounds quite Kirt Cobain-y and grungey. It may be on a soundtrack to some film, or in an advert, because its in my head and its not something you'd hear on the radio.

Google couldn't help me :(

"The song has been covered by bands such as Brand New, Velvet Revolver, Rubin Steiner, Cage the Elephant, Carry The Zero, Local H, Barenaked Ladies, Phish, Antiseen, The Hypertonics, Moxy Früvous, Terrorvision, The Flying Pickets, Rico, The Faint, Bishop Allen, Farryl Purkiss and The Kransky Sisters, in an operatic version by Kate Miller-Heidke, and in Polish as "Psychobójca" by Mariusz Lubomski."

I don't know enough about most of these artists to make a very good guess, but I suppose it's a start.

i heard a song on the college radio station and im positive the DJ said the song name was "Shamura", but i forgot the artist... it was about an 8 minute post rock sorta piece. Searching shamura brings up a lot of stuff on google but nothing im looking for. Im guessing im just not spelling the song title right, even though thats the way he said it.

edit: i THINK the dj also said it was by velveteen but im not sure

I am looking for a specific track that has a woman singing a recuring line "The pleasure's mine" over and over. She's putting a bit of emotion into it, and it goes over a heavy distorted guitar. It's not too fast.

I am pretty sure I have it on vinyl somewhere, but I cannot figure out where it is from.

Also, does anybody know if anyone remixed Kid Rock's "cowboy baby". Hell, it might have been himself.

I wanna say Girl Talk, but it is hard to tell what songs he uses.

I'm not sure do you want the song or the sample used in the song, but the song is Mass Appeal off the album Hard To Earn by Gang Starr and the sample used is from Vic Duris - Horizon Drive, about 3:36 into it here http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=Zvs4yAguyOo

A few minutes ago a song I'd heard before came into my head. At first I thought it was the Mission Impossible theme, but it turns out I forgot what the MI theme was like. The song is a bit secret-agent-y, but I can only recall the first part of it.

It starts with a bass playing the main beat, followed by a trumpet hit which brings in the percussion and guitar. The main beat is three notes followed by a two-note crescendo that repeats three times. I think it's from a movie, but I've only ever heard it reused in other shows.
