Sometimes I find out about my favorite artists completely by chance! I am glad to have found out about some of them thanks to the internet and movie trailers! XD
Keane
Probably my favorite band at the moment.. My friend showed me their music video for "Somewhere Only We Know" but then I forgot about them for awhile.. Then I decided to get their debut album to give it a listen. I got hooked soon after that and it went on from there. I turned my family into serious Keane fans because I listen to them everyday. :P Tom Chaplin, Tim Rice-Oxley - genius - (he loves the Pet Shop Boys like I do too!! 8D), and Richard Hughes are also so cute! XD I can't wait until I go to their concert next month! It would be amazing if I could meet them! :D What a fantastic birthday present that will be!!!
Travis
I discovered this awesome Scottish band when I saw the Garden State trailer. The trailer used one of their songs, "Love Will Come Through". I started listening to their other songs and downloaded some from iTunes. It went on from there, as usual. I seem to like British music too, not just British actors.. XD Those first songs I downloaded from iTunes were "Sing", "Love Will Come Through", and "Why Does It Always Rain On Me?". Like Keane, I got my family to be obsessed with Travis too. My parents, especially, love "Why Does It Always Rain On Me?" the most. That is one of many favorite Travis tracks of mine too. ;D Not only is their music wonderful, but the guys are talented actors too. :P They're so funny and their music videos are great! *Loves my "Travis Singles" DVD* X3 Lol, I used a lot of "too's" haven't I? :P
Ben Jelen
Yes, another trailer led me to discover Ben Jelen. It was the Finding Neverland trailer. They used an instrumental version of his song "Come On" and then it went from there again.. :P I recently attended two intimate concerts by winning this contest and his music is beautiful! He himself is beautiful too! I met him both times and he is really sweet. A genuine, generous person.
Michael Buble
Hmmm, I chanced upon seeing the last bit of his public television concert and he was such a great performer. Love the songs he sings and he's so funny! I got obsessed after listening to "Home" and watching the concert in its entirety.
Josh Groban
This was pretty similar to my Michael Buble story. They both pretty much grew in their careers the same way. :P I can't wait to see him live! :D
Rufus Wainwright
It was after The Aviator that I began listening to Rufus. I loved his bit singing "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise" in the movie. 8D I liked what I heard from his albums (Poses was the first). ;D
Delays
It wasn't a trailer that go me into Delays. I just heard the instrumental part of "Long Time Coming" in a behind-the-scenes thing of Doctor Who! XD I asked the Who fans where the song was from and then I listened to the whole song... Then I listened to their full albums. Their music is so catchy and I got hooked quite easily!
The Format
Another artist whose song I heard ("Let's Make This Moment a Crime") and then I began to listen to other songs after liking that song.. :P I liked what I heard and basically became a fan by gradually listening to their songs. ^^ Their music is so unique and cute. I love both of their albums so far!
Muse
I heard of them from everywhere, including Doctor Who, but I didn't like them until I heard "Time Is Running Out" used in a promo for Turner Classic Movies. I knew it was Muse, but I never heard the song before. I then started to listen to their songs and liked what I heard. Yep, went on from there.
Well, there are still a lot of artists that I like and you can listen to some of them in my radio. :D I think the above artists are the ones I'm into the most right now. I also like Pet Shop Boys, Enya, The Postal Service, Snow Patrol, Glenn Miller, 30 Seconds to Mars, and soundtracks, among many others...
I just bought the Rock Kills Kid album from the Tower Records liquidation sale. I like the songs I've heard so far, but I haven't given the rest of the album a listen yet.
