This is pretty lame but I’ll share it anyways… I heard some guy bumpin’ music out of his truck, so I stuck my iPhone out the window and Shazam heard it (while driving)!!! I then learned he was listening to “new” 311 which prompted a download on my end.

If you have an iPhone, download Shazam and give it a try! It’s told me what was playing in an elevator, Old Town Brea’s loud speaker during Christmas time, and random people listening to music way too loud with headphones.

A little clarification in my “other” response: I’m subscribed to a bunch of local club email lists. I just go a new one from Spaceland. I saw a band there called “Vivian Girls”. Clicked thru to their web site and now I’m listening to them on MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/viviangirlsnyc).

Pretty rocking band. Kind of a cross between SoCal 60s surf and K-records 90s punk. I’d go see them for sure (except there’s another show I’m going to that night :\ ).

This is how I found my current favorite band, The Happy Hollows. They’re playing tonight at the Echo. Yessss.
