Sod Barclaycard, thank you TrackID!

The other day I was in a hip and trendy high-street girl shop. This, as many men will testify, is generally not a pleasurable experience. In fact, dipping your tip in bucket of AIDS is often a more desirable prospect.

But I digress. Whilst in-store, I heard a song with an amazing chorus - beautiful high female vocals over a tasty, tasty leccy guitar lick. I'd heard it before somewhere and missed what it was called then, so I asked my friend if she knew.

She didn't, but she had a trick up her newly-purchased sleeve - TrackID for the Sony Ericcson W880i. This may well be some voodoo shizzle, but after one muffled 15 second clip, an anxious 30 second wait and, well, a 2 second read - the song was revealed.

TrackID, and all of your unholy audio clip recognition ways, I salute you!

..Oh yeah - almost forgot - it was Santogold, Lights Out. Not strictly a band as the name of this blog's parent website Bands Only would imply, but worth a shout anyway. Awesome song.
