A song

This one may be rather difficult, which is exactly why I came to you people.

Anyway, the song I've been looking for features two animated characters driving around and, if I got this right from its music video, trying to purchase (or recharge?) batteries. I would place the song within the European electronic/downtempo genre from the turn of centuries. I remember knowing this song, yet it's all I know about it.

My biography updated with correct information

Hello my name is Gant. I'm known as DJ Gant-Man. I'm a DJ and producer. I see I have a Wikipedia page on here and I wanted to know if possible can the staff update my biography and add the correct information? My facebook fan page, soundcloud music page and my electronic press kit has my official biography. If you have any qusetions concerning my authenticity feel free to go to those pages or simply type DJ Gant-Man in the google search engine for my social network pages.

Thank you, Gant Wilson

Here is my updated bio with all of the correct information.

Gant Garrard (pronounced Jerrod) aka Gant-Man was introduced to the turntables by his older brother and learned how to count beats and blend records at the young age of 5. Gant was ready to share his talent with the world beginning at age 10 when the program director gave him his own mixshow on a college radio station in Chicago (WKKC 89.3 FM) where he mixed from 1989 through 1997.

At age 14, his first residency was at a roller rink "The Rink Fitness Factory" from 1994 to 1996 where he exposed his House tracks to a large south side audience which helped shape the Juke House sound.

in 1995, Gant produced his first EP for Dance Mania Records titled "Its About Time" which spawned the Chicago underground smash "3 Blind Mice" which was built around the theme music from "The Three Stooges" television show. He became known in Chicago as the "Youngest Professional DJ" and is recognized as being one of the main key innovators of Ghetto House/Juke. This EP was followed by several EP's and mixtapes sold locally.

In 1998, Gant alongside DJ Puncho coined the word "Juke" by saying it on House tracks and mixtapes which spawned the genre of "Juke House" music. That year, Gant also began releasing House music EP's under the pseudonym "Gant Garrard" to separate his Juke music tracks from his House music tracks.

At age 18, he began to travel, playing both the rave and club circuits in Chicago, the U.S., as well as in Europe. In 1998-99 Gant toured with Paul Johnson playing in France, Belgium and Switzerland, which prepared him for his summer 2000 residency in Ibiza at El Divino alongside Paul.

Gant was the assistant producer with Grammy Award winning remixer Maurice Joshua on R&B group Destiny's Child remixes which landed him his breakthrough remix in 2005. This made Gant the first Juke House producer to have a Juke remix on a major label with a major artist with his official remix of Beyonce's "Check On It" feat. Slim Thug on Sony/Columbia Records.

In 2006, Gant produced a smash remix of Chicago House/Techno legend Cajmere aka Green Velvet's "Shake & Pop" single which sold the most downloads on the "Shake & Pop" EP. Gant continues to collaborate with the Cajual Records family to this day.

Since then, Gant produced with the Fool's Gold Records family releasing the club smash "Juke Dat Girl" single and remixing Kid Sister singles, "Damn Girl" and "Pro Nails" feat. Kanye West. He also produced her next single "Switchboard" featuring Gant rapping on the 2nd verse in 2008.

Gant performed at Lollapalooza in Chicago that year with Kid Sister. After, Gant bacame Kid Sister's tour dj travelling to New York for CMJ, Brazil for the Nokia Trendz Festival, Vancouver, B.C. and Miami for the Winter Music Conference. This tour was followed by solo gigs in Paris, Brazil, Alberta, San Franscisco, Portland, Albuquerque, Denver, and New York.

Most recently, Gant performed as a guest along side Green Velvet at North Coast Music Festival doing his "Percolator" remix. His track, "Juke Dat Girl" is featured in the latest Tyler Perry's movie "Peeples" released in May of 2013. Gant also performed at Electric Daisy Carnival during it's debut in the Chicagoland area in May of 2013. You never know what to expect from the talented Gant or where his music might appear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djgantman (talk • contribs) 02:49, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

You need to find valid sources for any information. Your personal word on the matter does not count. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 03:15, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately for you, the fact that you've posted here has alerted various people to your Wikipedia article, which is now being considered for possible deletion, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gant-Man. The problem is that you do not, on the face of it, seem to be notable enough to merit a Wikipedia article.

I forgot the name of a new sci-fi TV show!

Hi, A few months ago I came across a trailer for a new sci-fi TV show that attracted my attention but I didn't make a note of the name and now I can't find it again.

What I remember of the trailer was a long zoom from outside - perhaps alien terrain - into a structure - perhaps landed/crashed spaceship, or a building - and we keep zooming right up behind a figure seated at a desk. Everything is white. I think the figure is a woman. Right at the very last moment, the figure turns its head very slightly and we see a kind of black goo seeping from its ear. Then the trailer ends abruptly.

Does anyone happen to know what this is or have a link?

In what country did you see the trailer? Do you know if it was a regular broadcast channel or a cable/satellite channel? Dismas|^(talk) 02:30, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I found it accidentally on You Tube, actually. Since then I've tried many combinations of searches but haven't been able to find it again. I'm guessing it was American, but could have been Canadian. Thanks. 89.133.94.169 (talk) 06:53, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Do you have an account on YouTube? If you do, you can use this page, which lists the last 10,000 videos you watched in the order that you watched them. Sure, if you saw the video a few months back it might take you a while to scroll back to it, but it'll be on there somewhere. Entirely down to how many videos you watch a day, and how much patience you have, I guess. If you watch dozens a day you could be there a while. Falastur2 ^Talk 19:32, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. It's a good idea. An incredibly daunting one, but a good one. Thanks. Kiskispal (talk) 22:17, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
