I've figured out a few of the songs that are "referenced" in Girls' "Die" but I can't figure out which song the main riff from the beginning is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfqHcLqeDoE

Not sure it's anything: Elsewhere, the heavy metal "muscle workout" of "Die" was noted by Owens himself as being inspired by an early Fleetwood Mac track, "Oh Well". "Die" was the result of a riff that Owens and White had been jamming with for a long time, something that finally resulted in a song that Owens has said is essentially "just us pretending to be rock n' rollers for a little bit."

Hm, bit of a guilty pleasure: Dry techno music, a European, possibly German artist using his actual name, the album (or the first track) is called pilot (or pilots?). The CD's cover has an airliner in black and white on it. Less than ten years old and definitely on youtube (not Kalkbrenner). Thought it was easy to find this again, but no such luck.

Heard a song in a bar this weekend and my Shazam wasn't working. Should have recorded it to figure out later but was also playing Alien vs Predator on an arcade machine at the same time (priorities  ).Only thing I remembered to search was that it had the lyric "faces from the sky" over and over at some points, including the ending which faded out with the same repetition. Genre might have been indie/industrial/ambient. Some light Nine Inch Nails vibes. I know it's a long shot, but maybe someone has an idea? edit: While I was searching the lyrics I turned up Ministry - Burning Inside and knew that wasn't the right song but a few minutes after I posted this I also happened to find the bar's last.fm account and that song was literally the current song playing.. weird coincidence. Anyhow, last.fm is amazing. Was able to check the history for the exact date and time and found the song: Sunny Day Real Estate - Faces in Disguise. Misremembered how it sounded, but knew it was familiar. vogonity fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Jan 29, 2018 |

Remember the Brit-Pop band Suede? Sure ya do. Anyway, IIRC they had a song that was really guitar-heavy, almost like slowed-down heavy metal? I don't know if it was a single, but I doubt it.

What is the name of the traditional elevator music piece? You know the one. I apologize for the video, but it's the most immediate recording of it I have available. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOR3snVKW0E

Serge Painsbourg posted:What is the name of the traditional elevator music piece? You know the one. If you're talking about the piece that plays throughout the video (which I have never heard before), Shazam insists that it's the theme from Il magnifico cornuto (The Magnificent Cuckold) - though listening to two different pieces with that title, it doesn't sound like either of them, but YMMV. (When I think of elevator music, for whatever reason, I think of an instrumental version of The Girl from Ipanema.)

Sweetwater Kill posted:(When I think of elevator music, for whatever reason, I think of an instrumental version of The Girl from Ipanema.) So, when you say "You know the one" we all do. It's this one. This is the quintessential 'elevator song'. No one has heard that TF2 song. Might wanna make it clear in your post, because I didn't listen to the youtube vid and just assumed you meant this.

Just thought I'd mention that the song that best captures the stereotypical elevator music sound is Spanish Flea by Herb Alpert, though it's probably too upbeat to be used as actual elevator music.

This is another good option - I also see it used a lot as the music for things like fake "Technical Difficulties Please Stand By" cards done for humor on TV shows. I never knew what it was, so thank you for that, haha.

I'm trying to find a really neato house track I heard in a local coffee shop. It featured heavy saxophone with occasional vocals overlaid, of 60s inspirational-type quotes (think JFK, MLK type stuff). It was a very happy, upbeat track, kind of reminiscent of Fear of Tigers (if anyone knows his stuff). Any ideas?

I was at a concert the other night, and part of the between-set stuff on the PA was a folk song of some sort that my phone wouldn't recognize, probably partly because we were too close to the stacks. It involved a long opening verse talking poo poo about various presidents of the 20th century, and then a later verse describing multiple religious figures as "nothing." Does that ring any bells for anyone?

I couldn't pick up on most of the words, but I believe it was a live cut of some kind, and I think the person introducing the artist indicated this was "a new version" of the song "for the `80s" or something similar. The first verse had varied insults for the various presidents, presented chronologically, but the second verse was listing religious figures/religions and just dismissing them all as nothing, like "jesus christ, nothing. buddha and mohammed, nothing."

The structure of quote:"[person's name] - nothing Edit: GAAAHHH There's ninety thousand odd songs in this list with the search term "nothing" https://www.lyrics.com/serp.php?st=nothing Edit 2: I just went through 8 pages of .Nixon' and 22 pages of 'Kennedy' - nothing leaped out at me though. Sorry... I'm sure I've heard this but can't remember any details. Try and remember one coherent sentence or phrase in the lyrics and we may have a chance.

The structure of that's the problem, it was super-loud up there, and I made the mistake of thinking "oh I'll just be able to use a search engine to figure it out" when the phone wasn't able to source it, so I listened to it and enjoyed it and then dumped what few lyrics I could glean from the thing directly out of my brainpan (especially since there was a whole second set of the actual concert I was there for to go) An interesting thing is that if memory serves, Kennedy wasn't mentioned, they go from Eisenhower to Johnson. If only I could remember the specific insults. additionally, the quoted line starting with "jesus christ" is the one I best remember, though it may have been the grammatically odd/incorrect "jesus christ, nothing, hindu and mohammed, nothing" hexwren fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Feb 6, 2018 |

Just had another one. In a restaurant, phone couldn't pick it up. 70s rock song, played on the same playlist as Don McLean's "Vincent." Opens with fingerpicked acoustic guitar, then a drum fill in straight sixteenths brings a moderately fast beat in. Lots of guitar noodling. The fingerpicking reminded me of "As Tears Go By," probably a similar key. It's just noisy enough in here to make lyric-hunting difficult, but I believe I believe I caught the line "skies are sunny."

Another one heard at a noisy cafe, so I couldn't catch any lyrics, just some of the music. One bit of it was very reminiscent of 'go wild, wild, wild' in "Cum on Feel the Noize", but the singers were women. It had a 1960s slightly Motown sound to it; another part of it made me think of "I Only Want to Be With You". Played on what was probably a 60s to 80s station.
