I'm on the hunt...

[venta]

On the way home from work today, I was listening to a tape a friend made for me. It's all daft cover versions of songs, but unfortunately she didn't know who they were by, so it came minus a track listing.

Most of them are good for a listen or two, but one (a version of Hungry Like the Wolf) really caught my attention. Not really expecting success, I set Shazam[*] on it, and lo! Apparently it's by Reel Big Fish.

Now someone was very into them a little while back - onebyone, was it you ? Was it AdamH ? Can someone tell me whether they're any cop in general, or even lend me an album or something ?

[*] Shazam being the rather wonderful service of which one can avail oneself by dialling 2580 on a mobile, and holding the phone where it can hear some music. You get an sms back telling you what the song was... Costs 50p a go, or free if they can't identify your song; doesn't work from pay-as-you-go phones. I'm still surprised at how unadvertised Shazam is.

I may have spent a drunken evening in the pub banging on to you about Reel Big Fish, but if I did, it was mainly about the cover you speak of. The rest of their stuff is good, but not as good IMHO.
