Movie Pop Music?
 

How much music has everyone discovered through random movies? I haven’t paid attention to soundtracks in awhile, but was watching “My Super Ex-Girlfriend” (Don’t ask) last night, and heard an artist I really liked. I found out it was Susannah Blinkoff. Ring any bells? Found her online and I think her voice and music are great. I seriously didn’t think I would discover someone I liked from this movie, but there you have it.

Ok, so what music did you buy from hearing it in a movie? Movie name and music please……

I downloaded Stealers Wheels-S/T album, mainly because of the use of "Stuck in the Middle" in Reservoir Dogs. I also downloaded Urge Overkill- Stull EP, mainly because of their cover of "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" in Pulp Fiction, and a few albums by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich because of "Hold Tight" in Death Proof.

Actually, when I think about it, every album I've downloaded simply because of the usage of a song in a movie has been in a Tarantino movie, and I'm not even that much of a Tarantino fanboy.

I was watching a show called "Gavin & Stacey" which I think is a BBC show (I'm in the states).

The soundtrack is awesome. I downloaded most of the tracks after watching the show.

I have discovered heaps of pop music through movies. Pop artists can be a HUGE way to introduce people to Pop music. Such as Prince's songs in Batman '89 or Elton John in Lion King.

I discovered Gary Jules form his Donnie Darko soundtrack Mad World.
