I thought it'd be interesting to track where music that we like (or that other people on the board like) pops up in mediums such as movies/trailers, TV shows, commercials, etc. Places where we might not expect to hear such things, or even if we do expect to hear them, where we think the song/artist choice was interesting. Basically, mediums that aren't radio, or records we've bought.
I'll start, since I've had a few of these recently.
TV series The Nine had Coldplay's "Amsterdam" at the end of its second episode a few weeks back, and "Paralyzed" by Rock Kills Kid showed up in this past week's episode.
Last night's Brothers & Sisters (not that great of a series, but I watch it anyway) closed with the Rosanne Cash song "The World Unseen".
KT Tunstall's "Black Horse & the Cherry Tree" was heard in the movie Man of the Year, though why someone would pick that as a song to dance to in a club is beyond me. Seemed like a half-assed attempt to throw in a popular song just because it was popular.
Going back a month or so, I had another Coldplay sighting when "Warning Sign" appeared in the movie The Last Kiss. I guess Coldplay sightings aren't uncommon, but I thought this was interesting.
I can already guess that those who watch the CW will have way more of these sightings than I will, given how much the CW (and historitcally, the WB) likes to pimp popular music on its shows.

Grey's Anatomy featured TV on the Radio's "Province", I'm pretty sure.

I don't watch that show (I still hold a grudge since ABC chomping at the bit to give it a timeslot resulted in the end of Boston Legal's first season and the beginning of their second being thrown into chaos), but I did hear that Sleeping at Last's "Quicksand" was in GA's season premiere, which is a big deal for SAL, since they're indie now, so they weren't put on that show by the brute force of some label pimping their wares. |

I know technically some of these instances I will mention are from radio, but they are all from talk radio, so I guess that sort-of counts.
On ESPN Radio's show The Herd, I've heard the intros of Switchfoot's "Stars" and P.O.D.'s "Alive" used to introduce segments of the show.
Speaking about Switchfoot, I once heard "The Setting Sun" as a TV station was cutting to a commercial break during a sporting event.
Another show on ESPN Radio (I forgot which one, maybe Dan Patrick?) once used the intro to Anberlin's "Paperthin Hymn" to introduce a segment.
A few years ago, the coverage of the NBA Draft Lottery opened with Andy Hunter's "Go".
Recently, one TV show (I forgot which one) used Robert Randolph's "Aint Nothing Wrong With That" during its promo.

that was something on ESPN...either College Gameday, or one of the Pro football shows, i'm pretty sure. I don't watch that show (I still hold a grudge since ABC chomping at the bit to give it a timeslot resulted in the end of Boston Legal's first season and the beginning of their second being thrown into chaos), but I did hear that Sleeping at Last's "Quicksand" was in GA's season premiere, which is a big deal for SAL, since they're indie now, so they weren't put on that show by the brute force of some label pimping their wares.
they also had a Mat Kearney song and a song by The Fray on the same episode. I didn't watch it, never have watched the show, but i got emails and myspace updates and stuff on all 3 of them being on that show the season debut episode. |

Well, I rather like the show, although the few episodes of "Boston Legal" that I saw were good as well. Shatner's a riot. |

Well, I rather like the show I started watching Grey's Anatomy this year, and I'm really into it now. Sleeping At Last and Mat Kearney have both had airtime on the show this year. In fact, Mat Kearney's song was the featured song in the episode, playing out over the last two minutes. He seemed to get a boost from it in terms of album sales, as his album went from #1000 or so on Amazon to the top 100. It has been in the top 400 ever since. In addition, The Fray have made a career out of being featured on the show. With those three artists, it makes me wonder if the person in charge of music might either be a Christian or be close to some. SAL is pretty obscure. |

Camera Obscura's "Let's Get Out of this Country" was featured at the end of Friday Night Lights last night. Great show, by the way. Very good drama and acting. Even non-football/sports fans might enjoy it.

I was watching the NBA season openers on TNT last night and they had a commercial for "TNT Night of Dramas" or something like that, which was advertising their showings of Without a Trace and another show or two, and it had Mat Kearney's "Nothing Left to Lose" as the main song on it.

not really a random music sighting, but anyway, while I was at Borders I heard a mom ask her kid (maybe 9 or 10 years old) if he remembers the name of the artist who did the song he liked on the Shrek 2 soundtrack. he said the song was Hallelujah and is on the soundtrack to the first one, but she wouldn't listen and told him not to argue with her. I had to smirk to myself and hung around to hear if the mom would eat her words after they found the soundtrack with the song on it. I thought it was cool that the kid likes the song so much.

I LOVE Grey's Anatomy too! Hehehe. Sleeping at Last and Mat Kearney... yep. He was also on again this week ("Where We Gonna Go For Here". The Fray has had two or so songs featured from GA. Mindy Smith was featured this season awhile back too with "Fall For Nothing". Mat Kearney, about a month ago, was also featured on One Tree Hill (October 11, to be exact) with a clip from "Won't Back Down" |

Really random, but yesterday before church started, the bass player, guitar player, and drummer on our worship team were just goofing around with each other, and I heard snippets of the intros to the Dave Matthews Band's "Satellite" and "Crash into Me".

KT's Black Horse was on the pilot episode of Men In Trees. it actually fit, since the main character found herself in the middle of nowhere and kept on walking.
there is a street that I drive past every weekend called "Blackhorse". if I remember right, the tree next to the sign is a flowering one, but I am not sure if it is a cherry tree or not. could be a pear tree. one of these days I shall have to stop and take a closer look.

I was searching iTunes and I saw a cover song that I found interesting. Natasha Bedingfield covered Coldplay's The Scientist and it's on a live EP on iTunes. I listened, and she did a pretty darn good job on the song.

and a local clothing store that usually plays hiphop was playing some rendition of a Christmas song with Holy, Holy, Holy spliced in. rather refreshing, actually.

I heard "Show You Love" by Jars of Clay today. My ears didn't even pick it up until the guitar solo, which I knew I recognized, but it took me way too darn long to place it (mostly due to a context in which I wouldn't expect to hear a fairly recent Jars song). For a band that had brief popularity in the mainstream but doesn't really get mainstream radio play any more, fast food muzak still seems to love them.  |

It looks like Robert Randolph & The Family Band is the new "it" band for TV show promos. I keep hearing "Deliver Me" in promos for CBS' Rules of Engagement.

Earlier this week, the song used for "The Ultimate Highlight" on ESPN's SportsCenter was The Whigs' "Give 'Em All a Big Fat Lap." FYI, The Whigs opened for Mute Math during their Atlanta show last Fall.
