So I've been trying to find a particular song that I listened to a lot in high school. I know it's from the band Starmarket but it starts off with this very quiet guitar before going full boar into the song. The lyrics are something like "it's been a long long time I'll take you for a ride, it's been a long time to avoid it so what should be rewarded?" Or something sounding like that. I've tried googling for the past couple hours and my brain is kind of numb.

If you're sure about the band, you'd probably have better luck going to Amazon or something like Allmusic and just listening to all the song samples from each album to see what sounds familiar rather than Googling lyrics.

Probably Wumpscut - Hang Him Higher, which actually does have lyrics, but Saltybet usually uses instrumental versions.

A hard-rock, down-tuned, stonerish band, lead-singer had a muffy beard and a pompadour, song title was something along the lines of "Bury Me in the Pines". Quite deep, low, clean vocals, video had them playing in some forest and probably near an abandoned house. I think the singer died. The band was relatively famous, I think.

EDIT: It was Woods of Ypres: I was Buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery.

So I heard a song at the bar the other night. I figure someone put in money and put on Johnny Cash because there were two or three of these in a row.

I think it was Cash's version of Cocaine Blues but I couldn't hear any audience shouting or anything, so I don't think it was a live recording from Folsom or another prison show. And the last line in each verse had backup singers (male) join in singing it.And Johnny's voice isn't cracking like it does during the prison shows.

Does anyone know what recording this is from? It isn't any of Cash's live ones that I can find and it isn't his studio version of Transfusion Blues. Or maybe it is a different artist that I just thought was Cash due to...well, being in a loud bar?

Long shot, but I've had this stuck in my head for about 6 weeks and not been able to figure it out. Hip hop, or maybe an R&B track (but probably not), which has a really minimal beat that's exactly the same melody as the backing vocals in this Count Bass D track:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlX1h5uiCUM&t=26s

only instead of being a sample of that, it's played on a keyboard. Maybe shifted down a semitone, possibly to a minor key? Not sure. Has the same kinda feel as some of Nas's Lost Tapes, but it's not that.

To understand what happened at the diner, we use Mr. Papaya. This is upsetting because he is the friendliest of fruits.
So I'm not looking for a song so much as I am for an artist. Specifically, a hip-hop DJ who does similar stuff to guys like Wax Tailor or RJD2 but notably incorporates more rock elements into his music than either of those two. Also, the stage name he goes by is his initials and last name, so it's something like T. J. Howards, though I know that's not actually it.

This is a problem I've been trying to back trace for years now. There was a latinish jazz piece I played back in high school and I'm desperately trying to recall. All I've got on it is that it was: A. Latin/Jazz. B. That it started in 7/8 time for a few measures. and C. That it switched to 6/8 for the main body of the piece.

Malagueña? Not exactly sure if it starts in 7/8, but it definitely has some funky timing and eventually goes to a triple meter. It's also a common thing high school bands will play.

Cheers guys, it was the Sugababes I was thinking of. That was annoying me on so many levels - not only could I not remember what it was, I knew it was a song I didn't even like. Plus I thought it was something from the late 90s, so I was confused as to why he'd picked it to illustrate 1979. I'd not heard the Tubeway Army song before but I quite like it so I'd call that a postive outcome.

No, but that made me realize all sorts of attributes I can narrow down with:
A. It's a big band piece.
B. It's really uptempo.
C. It's brass heavy.

Ok guys! You've never let me down! So this song is an uptempo party/club song of the electro variety. The main bit is what I assume is a flute but it sounds like a chirping bird and it really builds up an epic drop. Anyone?

Here's a hard one I can't get out of my head: uptempo electronic dance song with a big synthy bassline, the bass reminds me a bit of the Ghostbusters song in some way...same kind of character. The only vocals are a guy saying "Do it" very low and saturated in the background...only other thing I can remember is that it wasn't polished at all, the whole thing was very static-ey and underproduced. Thank you!

Thanks but that's not it, it's even older than DJ Kool, prob mid or late 80's. The counting isn't a part of the song in words, I just meant the number of beats. It's it's like POW...[drums]...POW POW POW...[drums & chopped up yeaheahyeahyeah sample]...((repeat))


Edit: I tried to play it on guitar, which is an instrument I don't know how to use so it's not the right notes, just the pattern. The things you hear are actaully made with an 80s sample of some horns:

Looking for a song I heard on hype machine's popular section within the last four months. Had male vocals and riffed off of Cher's "Believe" in the chorus with a repeated "Do you believe in life after love?" but the rest of the words were different and the background synths were less dancy and more ambient. For some reason it's stuck in my head now and I'd love to figure it out.

Not it, thanks though. The one I'm thinking of is super popular, it was on lots of peoples party mixes in the early 2000s and I don't think it's gone away yet. It's sometimes used as an example of flat top & lines rap culture but not in a stupid way (like ice ice baby or something). I dont know hip hop history that well, but i think it probably came out way after the real early stuff like grandmaster flash, but before dre/biggie and all the more polished stuff. So it's a really clean, digital, non-LP sample but old enough to be unmistakably old school.

It's killing me because it's one of those ones everyone knows, but I'm really bad at explaining it.

Since there's not a Beatles' thread anymore this seems like the best place to ask:

Am I crazy or wasn't there a video clip of them jamming You've Really Got A Hold On Me in the studio? Can't find it for the life of me.

Crows Turn Off
Jan 7, 2008


I woke up a couple days ago thinking of a song I downloaded like 14 years ago and haven't heard since.

I got it from BearShare or some other lovely sharing program, so obviously it was named incorrectly as "Gangster Trippin" by Fatboy Slim. But it was not "Gangster Trippin" by Fatboy Slim.

But it is a techno/house/whatever song with really hard beats. The key part of the song are the vocals. Nobody sings, but it's meant to sound like a car jacking, with the guy saying things like "Bitch, get out of the fuckin' car," the woman saying something like "Get the gently caress away from me," and then the guy saying "Oh, gently caress me? Nah, gently caress you bitch" followed by two gun shots. It just repeats this audio throughout the song.

It's not necessarily a good song. But it's just stuck in my head and I need it out.

Any ideas?

Related to Beatles-chat, I heard a really bad-rear end song on my community radio which turned out to be a cover of Hey Bulldog after I googled a few half-remembered lines. I searched all over google, wiki and youtube to find out who recorded the version I heard... with no luck.

The cover itself was no-nonsense modern rock with a horn section that was very prominent. The horns came in pretty heavy towards the end with the solo/outro; I'd hesitate to call it ska just because of the brass however. Since it was on the community radio my best bet would be to just contact the DJ that was on at the time -- which is still not a guarantee. This was in Canada so if the song was from an obscure Canadian band that might explain it's elusiveness.

Life would be simple in the forest except for Cyril Sneer. And his life would be simple except for The Raccoons.
Okay this might be a bit of a long shot. I'm looking for an "outsider art" track I've come across a few times. The artist was British and released material in the early 80s. The song I'm thinking of is somewhat reminiscent of Bowie's "sound and vision". It's on youtube, and the album cover features something like a Medieval plague scene with dancing skeletons.

I've had this one song pop up in the back of my head once in a while for a few years now.

It was some Lo-Fi Indy-ish song a friend linked me 2-3+ years ago, could be older than that. It had some midi trumpets, maybe played along with a kid's xylophone or something. Pretty sparse in the instruments department, the only other thing being the guy singing.
I think the album cover might have had a creamy yellow color.

So I was just watching the video for Justice's On 'n' On, which reminded me of another video I'd seen several years back. It had a similar vibe visually, with a camera moving at a steady pace through various visual elements. I vaguely remember pyramids and swans being part of the visual motif, and I think "swan" might have been in the band name? I might be hallucinating that part, though. It wasn't Swans, obv. I want to say it was something in the neighborhood of neo-psychedelia/stoner rock?

Well, there's Billy Corgan's band Zwan, though I don't know of any music videos with pyramids that they did.

Then there's the video for Seven Nation Army, which has nothing to do with swans but is similar to that Justice video in terms of constant forward camera movement through pyramid shapes. Not really psychedelia, though.
