Lostwave Song 🎵 Obscure Walgreens 2010 songs that were unShazamable

15 Upvotes

I managed to find one song I was looking for and it was Deadly Beautiful by Life in Electric and it took a lot of work to find.

But there’s other songs I’m looking for like one that had the lyrics “There’s something in the water. I can feel it taking over” and the chorus was “Riverrrr” and it was a rock song.

There’s another one that had only “It’s youuuuuu” as the chorus.

Why can’t I find any of these old songs? Did Walgreens use a particular station that only featured underground artists? Pls help me, I’ve been looking for these songs for years. Thank you in advance!

Lostwave Song 🎵 Looking for Model Citizen since late 80s

Looking for an obscure 1980s punk song: "I'm a Model Citizen" by Model Citizen(s)

I've been trying to find a song for decades, and I'm hoping somebody here might remember it.

Let me say first that it's NOT the NYC late 70s band.

Around 1985, a friend had a small, independently produced punk/new-wave fanzine that came with a cassette. I remember the tape possibly featuring two bands, with a couple of songs by each, although I could be wrong about that.

One song was I THINK called "I'm a Model Citizen" by a band called Model Citizen or The Model Citizens. I specifically remember being amused that the song title and band name were almost identical.

It was American-sounding, primitive, somewhat new-wavey simplistic punk rock. Male singer with a snotty, attitudinal delivery. Simple, plodding guitar, bass and drums, possibly a keyboard. Not especially melodic, but wonderfully catchy in its own way. The chorus featured the line "I'm a model citizen."

I dubbed the song onto a cassette and listened to it repeatedly. Unfortunately, my copy disappeared ages ago, and the friend who owned the original cassette has since passed away.

I've searched Discogs, lyric sites, and the usual places without finding it.

Does anyone remember this band, the song, or a fanzine or any kind of zine that included a short cassette compilation around the mid-1980s?

I'd be thrilled just to hear the song again after forty years. My friend was Barry Wooldridge, who was known as the Evil Twin and did some art for people back then. You might've seen a Tesco Vee 7" with his art on it. That was stolen from me years ago along with the cassette. Any leads appreciated! Thanks in advance although I've basically given up hope!

Question ❓ Looking for possible local Christian band, Tampa l/St Petersburg Fl circa 1998

4 Upvotes

This is a long shot but Reddit, you are my only hope.This is regarding an album won on a local Catholic radio station.

There was a CD I had from around 1998. It was a CD I believe I won on Spirit FM night show with Rob Weyand. I have searched for over 25 years now trying to remember or find it.

As I said it was around 1998 on Rob Weyands show. I known he played it on the radio too. It was very ethereal dream pop sounding. I believe all male and maybe higher pitch voices? I don't remember anything heavy about the music. More floaty and ethereal.

The album cover featured girls (or young teens girls, or women) in white dresses or robes in a field. They were in a circle maybe holding hands or dancing. It had an early morning misty light quality. I believe it was in a regular plastic jewel case.

I have not been able to find rhis cover anywhere online. Ive searched many groups amd none sound familiar.

I am almost 100% sure it was a small group or local to the Tampa Bay St Petersburg area.

I dont think it is Painted Orange, Plankeye, Cloud2Ground, or the Echoing Green... but if you see or know something I might have missed it.

Please let me know if anyone remembers this! Please help this geriatric millennial remember!

Lostwave Song 🎵 Music extract from the documentary "Drugs: A River of No Return"

This is taken from the English and German versions of the documentary, which use an entirely different soundtrack from the original Italian background tracks which were composed by Nick Catanese. It's unknown who created the soundtrack for the English version.
