How I got into My top 50 artists

Mai 22 2008, 0h18 por Celewen2931

This is mostly to waste ridiculous amounts of time. Because that is what I do best. :)

1. Sleater-Kinney: I got into them through a friend. At first listen I wasn't into it. I left it in my cd collection for a couple months. One day when I was organizing it, I found it and thought I would give it another listen. I fell in love with it right away. I freaking love Sleater-Kinney to pieces. their music helped me through a lot of things.

2.Kimya Dawson:I believe the only reason I got through this last year of school is because of Kimya Dawson. I got into her through a friend and when I first listened to her, I wanted to cry because someone else got this thing called life.I know It sounds so cliched and weird. I usually don't have that kind of reaction to music. I mean, it effects me but it doesn't make me cry. I really love Kimya Dawson. She's freaking awesome. her music means so much to me.

3. Cat Power: I used to be really into launchcast and I was listening to my station one day and she came on. I loved it right away and I've been listening to her ever since.

4. The Beatles: Dude. it's The Beatles. What more can I say about them? Except that we all know how much they rule. Next band.

5.Yeah Yeah Yeahs: I happened upon them randomly. They are addictive, like drugs or jolli rancher lollipops.

6. They Might Be Giants: My dad used to play them for me when I was little. I feel like I grew up with them. They will always hold a special place in my heart, what with their they might be giantness.

7.Camera Obscura: I got into them because of their name. I thought it was cool so I looked it up and I found an incredibly awesome indie band. yay!

8.Belle & Sebastian: People told me they were good. and they were right.

9. PJ Harvey: I got into her through my dad who has the biggest cd collection out of all the people I know and will ever meet. PJ Harvey is made entirely of win and awesome.

10. The Moldy Peaches: I got into them through the same friend that got me into Kimya Dawson. They are great. if you've heard of them, it was probably through juno and you most definitely check out the rest of their stuff. All of it is good.

11. Patti Smith: Why is she so far down? when did this happen? Patti Smith is a true rock n'roll poet. Her music is incredible. I saw her in concert. It was quite amazing. I got into her through my desire to know more about classic 77 punk.

12. The Clash: another artist that is too far down. I love The Clash. I got into them the same way as Patti Smith.

13. The Donnas: They are a party band. I got into them because I wanted to party.

14. Asian Kung Fu Generation: awesome japanese band. I got in them through Full Metal Alchemist. They did a theme song for the show and I really liked it. I looked it up and found them.

15. Le Tigre: got into them because they are similar to Sleater-Kinney. Though they are an electronic band.

16. The Kinks: I got into them through my dad. When I first got my ipod, I didn't have a computer that was just mine to use, so i used the family computer which had all of my dad's music. I took a lot of it off but I keep a lot of it too. I kept The Kinks.

17.Guster: I discovered them through another friend. She told me I had to listen to them because they were so awesome. And they are. I burned all of their stuff from her and I listen to them now too.

18. The Seatbelts: I got into them through Cowboy Bebop. They do all the music for that show. They are incredible. They have a lot of different musical styles and they blend them together so well.

19. The Smiths: Another band I kept from my dad's music collection. I <3 the Smiths.

20. Lily Allen: I checked it out of the library on a whim, thinking it would be stupid. Surprisingly, It wasn't.

21. CSS: I got into them through that ipod commercial. I had heard of them before but never really listened to them. pretty cool.

22. Feist: my dad got me one of her cds for my birthday last year. I really liked it.

23. Tegan & Sara: I picked them up at the library on a whim. They were really good.

24. The Ditty Bops: I heard that song "Wishful Thinking" and thought it was adorable.

25. Sean Paul: he was a result of my sophomore year at college. A lot of my friends liked him.

26. The Cramps: another result of wanting to listen to classic 77 punk.

27. The Essex Green: I saw Camera Obscura in concert and they opened for them. they were really good.

28.AFI: I got into them through some friends. They gave me some songs and after a few listens I really liked it.

29. REM: I feel like I grew up with the m too. My dad's favorite band.

30.The Charms: random recommendation from my dad

31. Yann Tierson: his beautiful music for Amelie. I love Amelie. It is my favorite movie.

32. The Velvet Underground: I found them when I found Patti Smith etc. I love them ridiculously.

33.The Fratellis: I was driving with my dad and he played it in the car.

34.Etta James: a random choice of mine. I was looking for something different.

35.Flogging Molly: i went to a writing class and we were listening to music to inspire us and whatnot. Somebody played Flogging Molly and I thought it was good.

36.The Cure:I love The Cure. I don't know why they are so far down here. I started listening to them in high school and I have been ever since. I just saw them in concert a week or two ago and they were kick ass.

37. Bob Dylan: I got into him through a combination of my dad and a friend of mine

38.HorrorPops: random choice while I was in a cd store.

39.Spice Girls: left over from elementary school. I think my mom bought me one of their cds. They were the first band I was ever into.

40. Echobelly: One of the first decent bands I started listening to once i got out of my shitty music phase in middle school. a recommendation from my dad.

41. TLC: also from when I was younger. I still like them. I'm weird.

42. X-Ray Spex: another 77 punk band. I heart them so much.

43. Zombina & The Skeletones: random choice

44.Rooney: recommendation

45.Shonen Knife: recommedation

46.Shakira: left over when I was younger. She's actually good, especially the spanish stuff. I'm not a fan of her english stuff.

47.Barry Louis Polisar: Juno. kinda funny he got this far up with three songs.

48. DJ Baby Ant: random internet find

49.Ben Folds: Allison's fault :)

50.The Distillers: random choice

Juno Soundtrack

Mar 15 2008, 5h39 por LeticiaAlasse

Antes mesmo de chegar nas telas dos cinemas so Brasil, já era um sucesso por aqui. Críticos de cinema escreviam sobre e criavam expectativas ao público. Metade apaixonado pela Ellen Page, outros admiradores do trabalho de Jason Reitman em Obrigado por fumar. Mas acho que ninguém esperava tanto pela trilha sonora.
O Roteiro de Diablo Cody é perfeito, mereceu o Oscar. Perfeito, pois, ela desenvolveu música na história e nos envolveu. Algumas bandas desconhecidas no Brasil embalaram a história de JUNO e outras fizeram parte da história.
The Moldy Peaches foi de longe o meu melhor achado. "Anyone Else But You" tanto cantado pela banda, quanto por Ellen Page e Michel Cera no filme são encantadoras. Quem não imagina encontrar a pessoa perfeita pra gente, ouvindo essa música?
Desde "All I want is you will you stay with me? Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea" em All I Want Is You de Barry Louis Polisar, passando pelo maravilhoso folk (que acompanha quase todas as músicas) de My Rollercoaster de Kimya Dawson. Ainda conta com composições maravilhosas de Belle & Sebastian, The Kinks, The Velvet Underground e Mott the Hoople.
Além da novidade de Kimya Dawson, que também canta na Banda The Moldy Peaches, me surpreendi com Cat Power. Nome já conhecido, mas dessa vez me encantei com a sua belíssima canção "Sea of Love".
Depois de assistir a um filme como Juno, e ser dominado inconscientemente pela sua trilha e fotografia, ninguém mais é o mesmo.
Poucos são os filmes que acertam em tudo, direção, atores, figurino, roteiro, fotografia e trilha sonora. Juno foi um dessas exceções do ano 2008.

Simplesmente apaixonante, Anyone Else But You.
