Connections Of Movies to Music & To Music to Books
Sometimes, there are things that often make you do other things. For instance, a track from a movie's soundtrack can cause you to want to listen to that artist or download that song. And then, maybe some sort of reference from a book can make you want to listen to a song. It's just all connected to each other.
Let Go - Frou Frou & Garden State [mp3]
Frou Frou seemed to have gotten its spotlight ever since people heard Let Go from commercials for Garden State or from the soundtrack. It's a pretty good song, too, but I guess for some people like me, hearing it over and over again can get tiring.
Song For Clay (Disappear Here) - Bloc Party & Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis [mp3]
In this case, a song causes you to read a book. Bloc Party's catchy single holds references to the book titled above, and your curiosity can cause you to want to see what the book was about. Maybe it was just me, but I didn't enjoy Less Than Zero too much; I thought it was just written plain horribly. Of course, that doesn't change the quality of the excellent song the band managed to spin up.
Ibi Dreams Of Pavement (A Better Day) - Broken Social Scene & Skinny by Ibi Kaslik [mp3]
Again, a song can make you take up on literature. Supposedly, according to Ibi Kaslik's website, Broken Social Scene
wrote this song for her, the author of a pretty decent book, Skinny. It was the only reason I read the book, obviously. If I probably didn't listen to BSS, I probably would have never read this book. I recommend the author to anyone; especially since she's working on her second book currently (if you trust websites regarding her books).
There are other ways a book / movie can make you want to listen to music, or music may make you want to read a book. Even bands can influence you to listen to other bands. Kele Okereke from Bloc Party claims that the one person he would want the band to work with if they could work with anyone would be Bjork, and I suppose that could make someone listen to her material.
