I was jumping around from blog to blog a couple of weeks ago when I came across a very cool site that allowed the user to look up a song’s title/artist by entering a) the radio station on which the tune was played and b) the time it played. It was basically a clearinghouse of playlists, complete with clock times. I’ve Googled, I’ve searched these archives and for the life of me I cannot find it again.

So what was that song I heard at 8:00 PM PDT on Saturday, May 10 on KROQ-FM, Los Angeles?

:smack: _d’oh!_

That’s it! Thanks herwono. Too bad their listings only go back 24 hours… otherwise, a great little tool!
