i need to find this r&b song. it was pretty high in the charts about a year ago, it was played on the hits a lot, and it was based around this crazy, all over the place clarinet sample witha woman singing over it. i really really want this song but cant think of any way to find it. does anyone know what i'm talking about?
i remember this cos i finally found out that the song i keep hearing and wanting on classic fm when i'm in oxfam is this. it's always a great moment when you finally get hold of a song, and i'd been hearing this for weeks as the radio is always on classic fm in oxfam. i dont really mind this, but i hate the way the emphasis is always on how you should 'relax'. i dont really understand this view people have of classical music where its always 'relaxing'. it can be the most rousing and inspiring of music, and its heartbreaking to have a station like classic fm where everything has to be smoothe and lovely. i hate being told to 'relax' at the best of times, but especially when i'm being told to 'relax' with music.
there are things i like about classic fm, though. i love it when kids ring in with requests, as they are invariably terribly smart kids who are learning the piano or something and so know exactly what they want and request precise, obscure pieces unlike most of the adults who request 'theme from lord of the rings' over and over again.
on the subject of classic fm, today i swear i heard some elderly woman phone in for a request and say 'my name is problem'. now, whether or not she was intentionally quoting wiley we'll probably never know, but nevertheless: cool.

I often wondered what this piece of music was called - thanks for the shout.
and i love it when you find a piece of music that youve been hunting for for ages. I spent about a week around Christmas trying to find out what Prokofiev's Troika was because it was used in that Christmas song "I believe in father christmas" and i wanted to know what it was for so long.
