I Can Make You Feel It

I love discovering new tracks from relatively unknown (over here) bands that kick a high level of rear end.
Very few things make me happier than getting all excited about music I can't wait to download and bands I want to explore further.

I've always secretly wanted to be the person who is responsible for selecting music to go with television shows or movies. You know how it is, one cool scene is made even cooler with a smart, sharp piece of music that just completely does it all kinds of favours.

I usually pay attention to tracks on Entourage and more recently, Gossip Girl. The music directors for these two shows needs to be given huge massive hugs.

Some tracks that have turned my head from TV/Movies :

Paul Van Dyk - White Lies

Jakkata - The Other World (Instrumental)

Chris Lake - Carry Me Away

If I Ever Feel Better - Phoenix

Valeria - Girl I Told Ya

Whitehouse - Cuentan Que El

Basic Vocab - Come Get With It

Franz Ferdinand - No You Girls

J Dilla - Won't Do (Instrumental)

Keane - Spiralling


So going back to Gossip Girl, I will openly admit to being a huge Chuck Bass fan. I make no apologies at all so shaddapa your face. There is something about that character I just love.

I think it's his voice. Acidic barbs delivered in a calming monotone have never seemed sexier. And his classic "I'm Chuck Bass" excuse/statement for everything.

Like this, see :

Random person - "What the hell makes you think you can get away with that?"

C. B. - "I'm Chuck Bass"

And if I were to apply that smug arrogance...

Random ninny - "What the hell makes you think you can drink All That Wine without throwing up?"

S.S. - "I'm Shan Sandhu."

Mmm. Sexy. I've gotta use that.

So it was while I was watching my latest d/l of Gossip Girl last night that I came across my newest love, I Can Make You Feel It by little known group Home Video - who apparently have this massive following in New York. I'm in the middle of d/lding a few more singles from them and so far everything sounds superb.

But back to fresh and tight electronica which I have missed out on for far too long : listenlistenlisten! Love when it really kicks in around the 3 minute mark.




Jeez I've not been this excited since I first discovered Royksopp.

If you ever hear something you like on telly and want to find out what the track is called, hit up www.heardontv.com - if you can't find it there a safe bet is usually to google the playlist according to season and episode.
