I am an admitted nerd. Pretty much have a mad obsession for
a man in blue box. And yes that would be Doctor Who I am referring to. Of
course most people don’t know who he is, and it boggles the mind.
This is how I feel when it comes to music. And yes I am a
music nerd. I love finding new artists, even if they have been out for years;
they are definitely new to me. When this happens, I usually go out on the hunt
for full discography.
I want to shout it out to the world, listen at how awesome
this song is, but of course, for most people they just don’t care as much as I
do or it is not their cup of tea. Again boggles the mind.
What I've done here is create a list of sorts, music that I've
found over the years through the medium of television and movies. A lot of what
I find that appeals to me is music that is not considered main stream (i.e.
radio play) but somehow people have found these little nuggets of gems. Thank
goodness, because with some of my favorite shows that I've seen, the person who
picks the music to set the scenes, well they are straight unsung heroes in my
book. Also I want their job. Seriously.
And here is my list of artist, as well as the TV show/movie
I heard it in.
I have found these artists are not all mainstream, because unfortunately
I’d never have found them, which is both a good and sad thing. I am glad though
through the amazing power of TV someone has the awesome job of finding the
right musical artist that just get to me. Again I totally want that job! Of
course Ke$ha is super mainstream, however she is not an artist I like, but that
song moved me just enough to hate her not so much.
Then there are the movies, more to the point the Twilight
movies. No matter what anyone says about the movies (which I heart!) the
soundtracks are by far the best thing that came out of the 5 movies. Again as a
fan of the movies, the soundtracks are an amalgamation of everything that was
being told in the books that was then translated to the big screen. I was
introduced to so many artists, that I ended up getting these very different
artists’ albums, just to get see what I had been missing. And boy was I not
disappointed at all!
New Moon introduced me to:
With the Eclipse soundtrack I not only found new artists,
but some old one’s had new songs that just totally blew me away. In fact this
is my favorite out of the three soundtracks. I like almost every song on this
album, but what I want to highlight is two artists that blew me away.
For Breaking Dawn, I think I just overloaded on part 1 of
the 2 soundtracks. In fact it became my new fav of the soundtracks. Each of the
songs on the first soundtrack was a laundry list of the intense love between
Bella and Edward. The songs themselves were just so moving, that I would seriously
repeat the whole album, especially before the movie started. Part 2 was the
culmination of their love. Sigh, seriously love the music.
Here are a few
standouts for me:
This list is getting long isn’t it? But this is just a tip
of the iceberg of the gazillion songs that I have found over the years.
This last list is from one of my favorite shows on TV. So
You Think You Can Dance honestly has the choreographers finding the most unique
songs that they seriously use to create the most spectacular dance numbers. This
last list is the songs that truly moved me to tears or just simply moved me.
As you can see I love music. I love telling people about new
artist I find. I am passionate, when I find an artist who just gets to me. And yes,
I sometimes wonder why some don’t have the same level of love that I do. So check out these artists. This right here
is the serious ultimate playlist!
