Made an account over at WatZatSong? (

Thanks
Just want to thank everyone who's been linking this post all over the web, the reddit link almost doubled my traffic for a day :)
Oh and I just now replied to some messages on facebook, sorry for the enormous delay, never checked the 'other messages' section before. I will now, but you can always comment too.
Major thanks go out to a Jeremiah and to Bendy1 and Jacobwhitt (giving credit where credit is due ).

Mavens nest - The Wire
(09/07/12) Added Baltimore music info from:
Citypaper.com. They've also got links to where you can búy the music so visit! I've noted that the episode numbering he used seems different...so either he or I am one episode off. I'll have to check that later..(or let me know in the comments which saves me time)

Questions!
There have been a lot of questions specifying a specific scene and asking which song is played. Since I don't know the answer but somebody else might. I've paraphrased the questions here:
1.12: I got a decent recording of the audio, but I can't find the track (even googling the lyrics won't seem to help). Check below (at 1.12) for the lyrics.
2.09: Which song is playing in the SUV when Bodie throws the guns off the bridge in The Wire Season 2 Episode 9 around the 10 minute mark.
3.02: What is the song playing while Kima is in the bar?
3.04: What is the song playing in a car that Bubbles is spying on writing down the license plate number of (about 9 minutes and 50 seconds in the ep)?
Other questions:
1) Anyone know what song Marlo has on in the car?:
scene.
2) piece of jazz music when marlo and levy talking in the cocktail party? Just before Marlo went to the street and shouts.
