Wow

SNOW PATROL IS EVERYWHERE! They're the new "Time Of Your Life" by Green Day which was used for every TV show and every speech for about ten years. I don't know if Snow Patrol will catch on for that long, but every few moments on TV I'm hearing one of their (awesome) songs.

Early summer I was hearing them on the season finales of Grey's Anatomy and ER and just now I heard them for the commercial for the movie The Guardian with Ashton Kutcher. They're using an older song, though, "Run":

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do (instead of did)



OH and I never mentioned how the US Open was using Muse all over the place for their broadcasts which seemed super weird to me. Someone out there in TV Land has really good taste in music.

Do you ever get that "wish they wouldn't get too popular" feeling, though?

Yeah, sometimes, but I figure if they sign to a bigger label (and no, I don't think that's selling out), then I want them to be successful.

TV is the new radio. Snow Patrol can't get played on the radio (because radio sucks) so TV is about the best you can get these days.
