Sigur Ros/CSI

― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 7 May 2004 17:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Surface of Eceyon/The Real World still too strange for words.

― echoinggrove (echoinggrove), Friday, 7 May 2004 17:43 (twenty-one years ago)

i still wonder whose job it is to pick those songs for the real world. i want that job.

today i heard a forest by the cure as headline news went into a commercial.

Interpol on last year's finale of Friends. For a show that, by and large, only uses custom music, the use of any previously released track is strange. The use of Interpol is stranger.

Kraftwerk's "Ruckzack" as the theme to kid science show Newton's Apple.

The Cure "Fascination Street" during Indy 500 auto race coverage.

A TV station in Boston used to use Eno/Cale's "Footsteps" as the background for sports talk show promos.

Surely the use of Dylan's "Love Sick" in Victoria Secret has to lord over this thread.

Which Interpol song? "NYC"?

The last episode of Friends used Jefferson Airplane's "Embryonic Journey". And the credits to damn near every episode of the L Word used a song in my collection - Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, Lucinda, etc.

if I was picking music for The REal World, I'd choose NoMeansNo's "I'm An Asshole", because it would generally apply to at least 60% of the cast :)

Jesus and Mary Chain/Miami Vice

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 7 May 2004 20:58 (twenty-one years ago)

other songs good for "the real world" Magnetic Fields "Meaningless", Beck "Lost Cause" Skid Row's "Wasted Time", Mudhoney's cover of "You Stupid Asshole" Pernice Bros. "Sick of You", Loudon Wainwright III's "Suicide Song" and Serge Gainsbourg's "Chatterton" because that show makes me want to kill myself.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Minutemen's "Corona" being used for the theme of Jackass.

salteens and paper moon on dawson's creek

The PGA Tour telecasts have included snippets of the Cure.

Coldplay's Clocks was used on the BBC's golf coverage for a while last year - bit strange to hear Steve Rider talking over it, I thought.

― Crackity (Crackity Jones), Saturday, 8 May 2004 11:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Coldplay? Golf? Sounds like a perfect match to me. Coldplay are the Steve Rider of music.

Papa M over some lingering shots of flowers on a garden makeover show. It worked pretty well, but it was a hell of a shock.

― Officer Pupp, Monday, 10 May 2004 20:53 (twenty-one years ago)

i saw a documentary with papa m all over it, i cannot for the life of me remember what it was.

Kraftwerk's "Ruckzack" as the theme to kid science show Newton's Apple.

-- Ian Christe (ia...), May 7th, 2004.

woah, really? seems odd that they'd license one of their early tracks before the albums got reissued..
