The Google guide to music

What did we ever do before Google? How many times have you had a question and thought, “I’ll just Google it” and found your answer in moments? No more sitting around driving yourself crazy because you can’t remember the answer to something.

Google comes in really handy when you want to know things like what the names of songs are used in movie trailers. I found the wonderful band Within Temptation by Googling to find out the name of a song (Stand My Ground) used in the movie trailer for Blood and Chocolate. I discovered I actually like a Nine-Inch Nails song (Just Like You Imagined) by hearing it in the 300 trailer. And recently I watched the British TV series Hex and wanted to know what the theme song was. It took some Googling, but I eventually found out it’s “Number 1 Crush (Gothic remix)” by Garbage.

While we’re on the topic of music, the hubby and I are going to see Evanescence in concert next week along with Chevelle and Finger Eleven. Evanescence is one of my favorite bands, and I hopped on buying tickets as soon as they became available. I think we have good seats. In preparation, I’ve been listening to the band’s newest CD, The Open Door, released last fall. It was one of those CDs that for whatever reason didn’t hit me as memorable during the first listen but now I love it. I think that first listen must have hit me strangely because I was so used to the songs on the Fallen and Anywhere But Home CDs and these new ones were unfamiliar. Now I’m a big fan of all three and am fully prepared to get up and dance and sing at the concert.
