  We examine the mesonic thermal spectrum of the Sakai-Sugimoto model of
holographic QCD by finding the quasinormal frequencies of the supergravity
dual. If flavour is added using D8 and anti-D8 branes there exist embeddings
where the D-brane worldvolume contains a black hole. For these embeddings (the
high-temperature phase of the Sakai-Sugimoto model) we determine the
quasinormal spectra of scalar and vector mesons arising from the worldvolume
DBI action of the D-brane. We stress the importance of a coordinate change that
makes the in-falling quasinormal modes regular at the horizon allowing a simple
numerical shooting technique. Finally we examine the effect of finite spatial
momentum on quasinormal spectra.
