    The Office Season 1

    In the unlikely event you're talking about the BBC version, the theme song is called 'Handbags and Gladrags'.... I can't seem to remember who sung the version used on the show; but it's an older song -- Rod Stewart recorded a popular version, and the Stereophonics also covered it recently.

    'I do that there thing...'

    That's it... many thanks! (I realise listening to the sample that of *course* it's Lyrics Born. I suppose that's what I get from actually, you know, *working* at work or something. ;) )

    Sounds Like Album Leaf or Explosions In The Sky...

    I'll second what you said about the Decemberists. I was fairly undecided about Athlete, but then I saw them support Snow Patrol, and they put on a killer show. (Both of them did, in fact.) Kind of surprised no-one's mentioned them yet, but I love love love the New Pornographers... need to pick...

    'I do that there thing...'

    I was listening to XM at work today and couldn't lunge for the display in time -- I'm almost certain it's Jurassic 5 (at the very least, El-P has a verse). The chorus repeats: I do that there thing I do that there thing I do that there thing I do that there I seem to recall that being the...

    Sounds Like Album Leaf or Explosions In The Sky...

    May I put in another plug for Audioscrobbler here? Even if you don't sign up, plug in the names of bands you like and see what other people who like those bands are listening to, like so: http://www.last.fm/explore/?artistname=pop....x=0&submit.y=0 Not a spammer, but a convert -- honest miss. ;)

    Old Navy in-store

    If memory serves, they actually sell CDs of the music they play in the store, usually near the checkouts. You may want to have a go there if no-one else here can help.

    'Crazy Beat' by Blur, off _Think Tank_. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00...0643279-4281709 Nice pipes, by the way. ;)

    <!>Electro-Pop<!>

    Fischerspooner have a new one out.... I haven't picked it up yet, but I like what I've heard so far. I really liked their first one -- in fact I think I'll get it out right now.

    80s Song! -- Answered

    I want to say it's 'All Right' by Christopher Cross. Amazon says it's from 1983, but I thought it was a bit earlier than that: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00...3956269-0297516 Hope this helps...

    Need help finding a techno-ish song

    Could be 'The Conductor' by the Faint: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...=glance&s=music The Thin White Duke remix repeats 'control' quite a bit more than the album version, so maybe that's what you're looking for instead...

    Mastercard candy store

    I don't recall the commercial in question; but if it's a guy singing, it's almost certainly the Smoking Popes' version: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00...3956269-0297516 If not, buy it anyway; the Popes are awesome. ;)
