The Funk: Grey’s Anatomy

Posted by Dan November 9th, 2006 at 12:56pm In Grey's Anatomy The Funk

The music on Grey's Anatomy is one of the things that I like about the without simultaneously hating. (For the record, other things that I legitimately like about the show include: the acting, which is generally quite good; the fact that the cast is diverse; and, um, other stuff.)  I've written about this before.

But here's some more Grey's music that you can download for free right here!  And legally too! 

The Album Leaf  – Always For You

This song wasn't featured on the show, but another track Writing's on the Wall, was.  The Album Leaf has been around for a long time — I can remember playing them (or, well, him) on my college radio show.  Always For You is a very nice bit of electro-rock. 

The Gossip – Standing in the Way of Control

Lesbians!  That's what this group is made of!  Well, plus another guy who I think is straight.  But this is a pretty kickass song that includes some ragged guitars and Beth Ditto's soul singer wailing. 

Au Revoir Simone – Hurricanes

Again, the show used the song Back in Time, but this was the one they had for free.  I saw Au Revoir Simone at a show a few months ago and they were fun to watch.  Three nerdy girls at keyboards, jumping around, playing some goofy synth-pop. 

Dressy Bessy – Side 2 (you can listen to the song on the Myspace page) 

Dressy Bessy is a fun retro-ish band.  Their singer also knits hats and sells them on eBay.  Side 2 is a kind of jumping-around-alone-in-your-bedroom kind of song.

Inara George – Oh My Love

I saw Inara George when she opened for my favorite band, Idlewild.  Frankly, I thought the show was slightly boring, but maybe that was just because I was really psyched about Idlewild.  In any case, she is very pretty (here is a picture I took of her), dresses well, and has a lovely voice.  It's kind of Norah Jones-ish, if you like that sort of thing.
