Shazam

After writing the last blog I mentioned the application Shazam and suddenly realised that some of you many have no idea what I am talking about. 

Well here goes. Shazam is a very useful app for those of you who want to keep upto date with the music.

This tool has been available for many years at first though mobile phone calls but now with the advent of smart phones it is now available for iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Nokia, Windows Phone 7 and iPad.

What does it do?

So what does it do? Well if you hear a piece you do not know you hold your phone running Shazam up to the music and let it analyse it.

It sends this off to a central database and then the reply comes back with the name of the music. However this will only work with original recordings, your local band doing a live performance will not have the same effect.

So we at Supa Swap think Shazam is fantastic. Read more at their website http://www.shazam.com

Mr Saxobeat

Those of you out and about can not fail to have noticed Mr Saxobeat from Romanian recording artist Alexandra Stan. (I am assuming that Stan is a normal Rumanian surname, always makes me think of northern men in cloth caps.)

We simply love this up tempo Euro dance number and even the most conservative of us in the the Supa Swap office have been seen tapping their feet to this. Yes Darren that is you.

Real Sax?

Of course those purists among you may question if the actual saxophone is real or computer generated but when you in a club and the music starts you just feel yourself staring to move to the best, computer generated or not.

I remember the first time I heard this I had to know its name so I Shazamed it just to find its name.

Beyonce wows the fans at Glastonbury 2011, and goes straight to number one

Global superstar, singer and actress Beyoncé flies straight to the top of the  Albums Chart  with new release 4 after her acclaimed performance at last week’s Glastonbury.

4 gives Beyoncé her second solo  Albums Chart number one after her solo debut Dangerously In Love (2003) and B’Day (number three in 2006) and I Am Sasha Fierce (number 2 in 2009).  All these releases are boosted by the “Glastonbury” effect in this week’s chart with I Am Sasha Fierce powering back in to the  Albums Chart Top 40 (this week’s number 38 up from last week’s 127).

Beyoncé also makes her mark on the Singles Chart this week, scoring her tenth solo Top 10 single (including the number ones Crazy In Love (2004) and If I Were A Boy (2008)) with the second single from 4, Best Thing I Never Had, straight in at number three and no less than five other singles in the Top 75.

Gaga's Hair...or lack of it!

She's worn her hair in cola can rollers, tied it in a bow on the top of her head and dyed it a rainbow of colours. But clearly it was getting all a bit too much for Lady Gaga, who seems to have decided that having no hair at all is now the way to go. The singer left her fans gobsmacked last night, when she performed on TV completely bald.

The Judas star was a guest on Paul O'Grady Live and arrived on the show wearing a bobbed green wig which matched her fringed dress. She immediately took to a piano which had been covered with brown curly hair, to perform the promotional song from her new album, aptly called Hair.

She sat down at the piano and took off the green wig - which she hung up in front of her - revealing a bald head underneath, before launching into the song. Halfway through, she paused, grabbed her wig and put it back on her head as she finished the tune, all the time surrounded by fire.

Of course, Lady Gaga hasn't gone and done a Britney Spears, but was just wearing a skin-coloured skull cap to hide her real hair underneath.
