New website found!

I admit that the internet caters to my sometimes OCD tendencies. Every year or so I am in desperate need to find this song called "Grow Up and Blow Away" by Metric. It used to be in a Polaroid commercial about 10 years ago. It has that melancholy but beautiful oversynthesized feel that I have always been drawn to. I found this site http://hype.non-standard.net in the process. It is an aggregator of what bloggers are publishing and is a great window into music here from my (musical) dank hole that is Hong Kong. They have a top 50 list of songs from 2005 - it is populated with covers I didn't even realize where made - Radiohead doing Oasis, Johnny Cash doing Depeche Mode, Coldplay doing Echo and the Bunnymen. I am now in the market to locate a Sugababes song.... unfortunately I cannot decipher the lyrics and they don't seem to have 'hit' well enough in the US to warrant some decent song sampling off of Amazon. iTunes is futile as well. It is something that is in semi-regular rotation on MTV Asia. I may have to march over to HMV to sort it out. Or turn on my TV...
