Serendipitous finds

These are tunes the strains of which I pick up when they are heard for a fleeting few seconds in advertisements, background scores of movies, and sometimes on the radio. I pride myself on my high level of perceptibility of music.

Some of these songs are very well known, and only I did not know them. Some of them are rare gems. Some are underground labels.

1. Guster - Satellite (When the credits begin to roll in Martian Kid)
2. Mr. Blue Sky - ELO (When he credits roll in martian Kid, heard it again in Invention of Lying)
3. Fortress - Pinback (On radio, San Diego 94.9)
4. Under the milkyway - Church (Lincoln commercial)
5. Psycho Killer - Talking Heads ( San Diego 94.9)
6. Help I'm Alive - Metric (San Diego 94.9)
7. Somebody Needs You - Lo Fidelity All Stars ( Sex & the city background score for just 10 seconds)
8. Don't let it bring you down - Annie Lennox ( American Beauty background score)

That's it for now, will continue to update as and when.

Enjoy the music, it is all around... you just gotta feel it in the air.
