This week was chock-full of music. It’s actually quite impressive. Sorry for the glut, but I thought I would include everything I liked. Take a listen, please.
Cary Brothers “Alien” – Make It Or Break It – If only this show was as good as its music. I’ve loved Cary Brothers since Garden State and this song was very nice underneath the artistic gymnastic scene for the parents.
Matthew Perryman Jones “Waiting On The Light To Change” –
Make It or Break It – Another great song from this show. This played at the very end when Payson is talking to her father. Just a fun, listenable song that will soon go into rotation on my iPod.
Paddy Casey “Everybody Wants” – Cougar Town – Not my favorite song of the week, but still, when Cougar Town does music, I like to take note. Plus, this song turns out to be from 1998, so kudos to Bill Lawrence for going old(ish) school.
Perfume Genius “Normal Song” – Private Practice – They used Perfume Genius on Skins this season too, and I think they are great, atmospheric songs for show. Sure, they’re depressing, but I like them. Consider me a depressive, if you will.
Dum Dum Girls “Coming Down” – Revenge – Normally, Revenge is chock full of music, but this was the only song I liked this week. Let’s bring back some more Kurt Vile next week, please.
Handsome Furs “Repatriated” – Grey’s Anatomy – Not my favorite, but still quite good. Plus, it’s a change of pace from the usual stuff on Grey’s which is mostly adult acoustic-y or female singer/songwriter. So, I liked it for that, at the very least
The National “Sorrow” – Grey’s Anatomy – To be honest, this song felt a little out of place on the show with the scenes it was put against. The scenes were too quickly paced and, well, perky. But I love The National, so here’s the song. It’s awesome by itself.
The Barr Brothers “Old Mythologies” – Grey’s Anatomy – This song is awesome. Not much else to say but that. Reminds me a lot of Mumford & Sons, and they had one of my favorite albums a few years back.
Sam & Dave “Wrap It Up” – Scandal – Thought a change of pace would be good, so here’s some old school soul. Listen to it on a rainy day.
Hanson “MMMBop” – Suburgatory – Just because. Also, I had this in my head for a full twelve hours after listening to it on the show. So, you’re welcome.
Happy listening!!
