Well blimey. I'm making a music thread.

Shazam is an awesome iPhone/Android app which is perfect for when you hear a song, like it but have no idea what it is or who it's by. You simply load the app, hit the button and let it listen and within seconds it will tell you who the song is by and what it's called. And link you straight to iTunes if you want it.

It's some sort of witch craft I do t understand but man it's helpful. Probably the best app I own.

Anyway, I'll be using this thread to tell you what I've Shazamed, where I was and then you can tell me if you know the band/person.

Shazam away.

So today I was in River Island. Hated all the clothes but liked 2 songs they were playing

SHAZAM
- M83 - OK Pal
- Newton Faulkner - Clouds

I've heard of Faulkner before, but never M83. They any good?

RFUS likes him.

He is okay, but probably too mainstream now you have heard him.
 
Good old Shazam

Ok Pal is a ripper. If you've seen any music thread, you'd have found someone recommending that M83 album to you over the last 12 months bro! You probably replied with a picture of East 17 though...

Midnight City, YouTube it and say "oh, that's them"

Go on, do it

Mrs Ijjy is asleep on me right now but I will as soon as she wakes up!
 

Here's a shazam fact

The first time I used it was at a Darkness gig back in 2004 (around that time) when you had to phone them and put your phone near a speaker. I keep meaning to get the app

It was to work out who sang My Sherona which was playing before they came out

Haha!!

Shazam is awesome though.

Do you know how it works Bry?!

It's pretty simple really, the audio track will be uploaded to Shazam's servers who will cross reference the sample with every song in their database, then they give you a link.

Google's reverse image search is a similar concept.
 

One of my mates pays for either soundhound or shazam. I just have the free version of both and never max out both during the month, think I get 3 free uses with each. great for when you're in a pub and can get near a speaker.
 
Yeah been using it for ages, very handy.

I haven't revisted some of these songs it's worked out for me:
One Week - Barenaked Ladies
Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings) - Silvesun Pickups
In Orbit Every Monday - DJ Food
The Horizon - All The Young
