![]() ![]() It wasn't always new, but they featured Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Coldplay (blech, but still, it worked) and many others I'm not thinking of. ![]() Anyone here who enjoys classic rock, good writing and anthemic sing-alongs, do yourself a favor and get Boys and Girls in America or Stay Positive.Īs far as music in TV, Alan Ball and gang always knocked it out of the park on Six Feet Under. My friend represents Heartless Bastards and I got to meet the lead singer, who is this tiny, adorable little thing-it's amazing that voice comes from her. ![]() I will second the Heartless Bastards and The Hold Steady, though I found them through traditional music circles, not TV. The music nut in me has to point out that Imogen Heap is the girl's name, not a band. So, two-part question: 1)What's the best musical discovery you've ever made while watching a movie or TV show? 2)Regardless of where you first learned of the singer/band, what new music is currently in heavy rotation on your music-playing device of choice? (Sample song titles: "Nobody Says I Love You Anymore" and "Happy Birthday, Don't Die.") And I've been listening to it pretty constantly since I got a review CD a few weeks ago. The new album continues the Rhett/band dichotomy, in that it's a bit poppier than the stuff he does with Old 97's (but only a bit), and at times more melancholy. ("Our Love" - which has been played on a few TV shows, and, since I can't find an official video, which you can hear in this Veronica Mars/Logan fan video - is one of the most-played songs in the Sepinwall household/car.) I liked the song a lot, picked up a copy of the band's "Too Far to Care" CD at Tunes in Hoboken (my brick-and-mortar music store of choice at the time) and have basically devoured everything by the band ("Battlestar Galactica" fans will want to watch the video for "Dance With Me" from the most recent Old 97's album), and by Rhett solo. I first encountered Miller when I was watching Showtime's short-lived "Going to California," where the theme, "Lost Along the Way," was performed by Old 97's. One of my favorite examples of this is Rhett Miller, whose self-titled third solo CD (after many albums with his band, Old 97's) hits stores today. Music's a big one in that regard basically, the only way I hear about new (or new-to-me) bands these days tends to be when one of their songs is featured on a show I watch, like "Chuck." Because of my job, I'm naturally exposed to TV more than other areas of pop culture, which means I often wind up finding out about those areas when they happen to cross over with TV. ![]()
