OK, y'know those times when you've heard a piece of music and can't quite remember where you've heard it before?
Maybe you've just heard something on the radio and missed the artist or track name? Well, I thought maybe we'll start a thread here. Post your queries below.

I'll start the ball rolling...

Sky have really been pushing Season 7 of Grey's Anatomy starting in January on Living. The promo features a track in the background, and it's been bugging the hell out of me, I should know it and I maybe even have it somewhere in my collection. Sounds like it could be Damon Albarn? Gorillaz, maybe (though I've been through all my Gorillaz albums)?

Here's the trailer that Sky have been running non-stop over Christmas.

Can anyone identify the track? I need to know, as this is driving me slightly insane every time they play the trailer!
I've Googled, but no joy. :(
Help?!!

Shazam for the iPhone (may be available for other platforms) helps with that sort of stuff.

There's also a free app called SoundHound for iOS and Android. It's pre-installed on the HTC.

There is one tune I was trying to get it to name, but it failed. Is anyone hot on Russian hardcore electro dance music? It's the backing to a porno I have, although I can't remember which one right now. If I come across it, I'll save a sample somewhere safe.

I definitely think porn is better without a backing track - if i want a bit of music, I'll put some on!

As it is they normally choose a really crap record and you've got to choose between that or nothing. Rubbish.

Oh no, you're watching the wrong porn.

In decent porn, the girl-on-girl action is a slave to the rhythm. It's a dance. Poetry in motion. With lubrication :D :oops:
