I find it very... disturbing and incredibly interesting to know that if an unknown band or artist or song is played in the background of a TV show or movie, it can instantly shoot them to five star fame.

Take for instance, Snow Patrol. I knew of Snow Patrol about three years ago when listening to them on purevolume.com, and I instantly loved them. They're song "Run" spoke to me. I'm very thankful the the person who referred me not only to purevolume.com but to Snow Patrol at the same time. However, and I should say fortunately as well, they were propelled into fame by the hit we all know as a massive sap-fest, "Grey's Anatomy." I am a big fan of the show as most people would know, and ergo, I love the music that they play.

First there was The Fray, "How to Save a Life," then there was Snow Patrol, "Chasing Cars," and now, I foretell that the next rising star will be Ingrid Michaelson's, "Keep Breathing." This song was aired on the last episode of season 3, and with it perfect emotions crescendoing with the ever evolving plot.

But what does this say about us personally? I realize that I speak mainly for myself when I say this: "We are too much involved with the television screen and the labels and offers it shows to us." I watch shows like Grey's Anatomy - which is/was the only show that I watch until the season ended - and I'm like, "Hey, I dig this song! It works perfectly with the show, and boy, did it ever help me cry!"

I think I'm becoming many things: a Grey's Anatomy-aholic, a TV-aholic (although I don't watch the tv... I watch seasons), a musaholic (nothing to say for there because music is wonderful) and of course, a Hey-This-is-neat-let's-see-what-the-song-actually-sounds-like-and-get-it person.

Is this a bad thing? Like I said, yes and no. I really need to get off of my butt and experience the importance that life isn't at all like that on the TV screen which soap's and sap-fests' continually try to make us believe.

But no, it's an important thing to know music, and I am officially hooked on indie.

And I probably contradicted myself on so many things in this post. But I was bored and I was trying to find something to talk about upon lack of updating.
