So i went to this inner city hair salon today......
 

..........and they were playing the BEST music, it was nothing like what i usually listen to, it was rap or hip hop or something and it was quite chilled out. There was a lovely atmosphere in there, i felt kinda out of place as i was the only white person in the whole place but it was warm and smelled of hair gel and the people were nice.

Anyway i feel stupid for not asking who the music was by but i did get a look at the CD cover, the front cover was silver clouds and dark blue sky behind it and it had the bands name in sliver lettering on the front but i couldn't read what it said. It looked like the bands name was about 4 or 5 letters.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

What kind of music was it? Chilled out hip hop sounds kind of vague.

describe the music better. i could probably end up helping you out with this one.

also, if you like chilled out shit, check out sa-ra's album "the hollywood sessions". it's almost as if what tvotr would sound like if they did an LA RnB/hip-hop/soul album.

did it sound english or american?

try going to the urban/hiphop/dance or whatever section in a big hmv and seeing if you can see it there. i doubt they'd be playing anything particularly obscure in a hairdressers.

Or ring/visit the hairdressers and ask them.

But this is all fairly unimportant when compared to the question: What did you have done to your hair?

sounded american, it was just rap over nice music, not very loud drum beats

male/female vocalist or both?

male

it's not that i was intimidated to ask, i just didn't, it didn't occur to be until after how good it was. And i wasn't getting my hair cut i just popped in to get this great conditioner that only they seem to stock.

Call them, and just explain you liked what they were playing and want to know what it is.

doesn't the cd cover sound familiar to anyone?, i was hoping someone would already own it and recognize my description of the cover. I might call them.

there are so many albums with such a generic sounding cover, that pointing it out is a real tough one...especially since you can barely describe what it sounded like.

just call the joint up and ask.

This one?

no hotlinking from rateyourmusic, methinks. I've had some problems with that on the "what are youl istening to" thread too....

guess it wasn't this one then
