Movie, TV show, and play soundtracks, often times, are what make us interested in the movies, TV show or play. There are times when we buy the soundtrack because we want to remember our favorite episode, part of the movie, or relive the play. The music used in the movies, TV shows and play can be the best part of the program.
It used to be that the music was just a score. Nowadays, it is an artist, sometimes famous sometimes not, who will contribute to a soundtrack. There are also soundtracks that have only one artist to come up with the music for the entire film. For instance, all of the Transformer movies consist of only music from Linkin Park. Musicians, local and national, look to obtain a spot on the soundtrack of a movie or TV show. This is their opportunity to really bring their music to a world wide audience. A lot of artist get discovered on soundtracks and become instantly popular. This makes soundtracks a hot bed of undiscovered music. Having purchased several soundtracks over the years, I have discovered artist I may have never known about. I tend to look up each artist after I have gone through the soundtrack and the liner notes to discover each song.
Soundtracks are a big part of life. We may even have our own soundtrack to our lives. There may be certain songs that mean so much to us or transport us back in time to a favorite memory. What’s your favorite soundtrack or the soundtrack to your life?

I am sure that you have noticed that the local shows in your home town are on the rise. It happens every summer and this can result in you not knowing what show to choose. Do you go with a favorite with a chance of seeing someone new or do you try out a new genre to see what may be your new favorite? Personally, I like to mix up the genres I see every weekend. Sometimes, I go for the metal, then the next weekend I may see ska/punk bands, and then I may see what has been dubbed as chick rock by some people. I enjoy a little bit of everything when it comes to music. I hope that the rest of the world feels the same way, but that is not always the case. Most people will enjoy one type of music and stick to it. I implore you to open your senses to all types of music; you never know what is out there. You just may find something new.
