Thanks, Shazam! (Finding Song Names When You’re Otherwise Screwed)

On my drive home, I heard Colide by Howie Day, but at that time I had no idea what it was called. I spoke the chorus to myself, hoping I would remember it by the time I got home. But then, it hit me: SHAZAM!

Shazam is a music-search application in the same vein as Midomi where you play, hum, or sing a song, and the software matches the melody to a song name. With spotty results from Midomi, I was a little skeptic. Still, I gave it a whirl, ‘tagged’ the song and in twenty seconds I had my name.

Kudos to the Shazam team for adding one more song to my collection! If you’ve got an iPhone, be sure to give it a spin; it’s free.
