| Finding the "Sound of Music" |
This notably happened couple of times. I felt amazingly awesome today and when I first found out the artist John Mayer.
So this is what had happened today.
@Dili, introduced me to #8tracks. It is a place which hosts handcrafted playlists, great place to uncover new music. 8tracks has many cool different playlists which fits every moment & mood. The handy tag feature makes it very easy to find a mix which suits you. Thank you Dilina.
So I starred this ⇩ song. Thought of finding the correct song and save it at grooveshark so that I can listen to it whenever I want.
That is the drawback of 8tracks, you cannot control what is playing at the moment. Grooveshark provides the ability to listen any song you wish anytime you want. No restrictions at all (afaik).
Step 1:
Called out help from the colleagues at office. Samitha (a fellow WP7 user) suggested the inbuilt Music Search feature in WP7 Mango. Up until today, I've never used this feature. Keeps on forgetting that it is there.
Hard luck, WP7 wasn't able to provide a result.
Step 2:
My friend Chathurika then announced that she had heard this song somewhere and played Jason Derulo's "It Girl" from her PC.
But it wasn't the same, I thought "It Girl" was sampled in that song.
Step 3:
Then Chathurika suggested "Soundhound". Bam! the search result was Trey Songz's "Say Ahh".
When we listened to both these songs in youtube, we realized that the song which I was looking for is a remix of these two originals. After a small youtube search. Eureka!!
So here you go, this is the song I starred at 8tracks.
P.S. Jason අයියගෙයි Trey අයියගෙයි සින්දු දෙක නම් ඉතින් ඕනෙ නම් හොයා ගන්න දන්නවනෙ, මොකෝ බොලාල තොත්ත බබාලලැයි?
I listen to music a LOT, I mean a LOT! and I think I have a good taste in music.
But I remember I have constantly been dissed/laughed at for the music I listen to. Wonder why...
Anyway, here's my last.fm profile: http://www.last.fm/user/udithaumesh (let's see how much we get along, eh?)
I have a similar experience of finding out the artist John Mayer. It is very brief, but it was life altering. Ok, this is enough it is late. I should sleep.
