HEY GURL HEY!
So I'm posting this at a quarter to ten, mostly because I know it's already Monday in Ottawa, and mostly because I know I will forget tomorrow. Because this is going to take me a while to get used to. As always.
So tomorrow (at work, probably) I will be re-cataloging last year's PANSED entry thingies. I just want to have a list of everything so I don't use the same ones this year. I might have to compile an iTunes playlist. It may take a while. So for this week, and possibly next week, I will be using songs I know for SURE have not been used yet, either because they didn't exist, or because I didn't know they existed.
Today's song comes with a story.
So a few of you may have heard of the struggles we had at work a few months back, trying to identify that one song.
It came on at work, and Iram liked it. So she listened for lyrics, wrote them down, googled it. Google searching hailed no results. So we had to wait for it to come on again. We wrote down the lyrics. Again, nothing from Google. I added it to Yahoo Answers. We got other people at work to write down the lyrics in case we were wrong. Like, this song is so indie we didn't think it existed. Google doesn't even know about it!
Then I got my iPhone, so I downloaded a music identifying app. But Christmas came. And all the normal music stopped playing. Finally, we put a new CD in and the Christmas music ended about a week ago. But we've been listening to my iPhone. A couple days ago, I didn't put my iPhone on; I simply let the store music play. Because I was curious.
Then I asked Iram, "Have you heard your song lately?"
And she was like "No, I'm probably never going to hear it again."
And ten minutes later... there it was. We had someone in our store (from Fairweather, a sister company, it was fine) but I whipped out my iPhone, clicked on the app, ran to the back to turn the volume up, and held my iPhone up to the speaker. And we tasted sweet, sweet victory that day.

Happy Monday, everyone. And just remember... It may take seven months, but miracles happen, and dreams come true.

I feel more indie just listening to it. Also, your account of the identification made me laugh, which at 7:46 apparently brings tears to my eyes.
ReplyDeleteI've said it before, but I'll say it again. I love PANSED. Maybe I should marry it.
