Quick question:  
On Cartoon Network, they occasionally show previews of upcoming shows with some cool music in the background and a subtitle, “All times and music eastern.” Does anyone know what music that is? If not the specific song, what genre is it? I want to hear more, it sounds really interesting.

It’s called “Mandeer”. You can hear it at [this website](http://firstcom.com/default.aspx?skiplaunchpage=yes), but it won’t let me link directly to the song, so you have to type “Mandeer” in the search box at the top.

Wow, thanks!

Yet another reason to love the SDMB…

No problem. 🙂

I’d actually love to find a list of _all_ the music they use for the bumpers, but so far that’s the only one I’ve been able to find. My other favorite is the one where the barbershop-sounding trio is going “Bah doo wahhhh” over a slow drum rhythm (if that reads in print at all).
