A Mike Life – The Life of Mike!

My phone rocks

Okay, so we’re sitting this morning waiting for Harry Potter to start, Jina gets up to get some popcorn because we were saving seats and I’m a lot BETTER at it than she is. So while she’s gone, I hear a song that sounds kind of good coming from the pre-show “entertainment”. I was thinking it would be nice if they showed the name of the band or song somewhere, but to no avail.

So I remember a text I got from Verizon a few months ago. It was something too amazing to believe, but that you could use your phone to listen to a song playing on the radio or in the car, and it could identify it and then you’d be able to find it and use it as a ringtone. Sure it can.

I whip it out on a whim, install the app on my enV, and hold the phone up to the screen. Now I had no idea if the phone could even pick up the sound, but I sat there anyways.

The phone said “Listening for music.”

Then it said “Identifying song”

And bam, the name of the song shows up on the screen, with the band who did it and a link to find the ringtone or email the info to yourself. It was totally right.

Technology is sickenly awesome.

On a side note, it was “Hey there Delilah” by the Plain White T’s, which was pretty ironic considering my love for vintage tshirts. You can even listen to it right now on my Blogmusik playlist to the right.
