I was talking with a friend recently about our favorite music films. We were both giving each other suggestions and I quickly realized just how many I have yet to see. I’m curious as to some of your favorites and ones you highly recommend. Let me know in this week’s poll and feel free to add your picks in the comments!
I’m almost certain I’ve featured this song on the blog before, but after watching Almost Famous last night, I can’t help but repost “Tiny Dancer” as my song of the week. The movie is a classic and one I not only relate to, but continuously inspires me on my path as a music journalist. I can’t help but smile every time I hear this song.

By now many of you have either seen the second film in the Twilight series, New Moon, or have heard the constant gossip about Team Edward and Team Jacob. All this Twilight talk has made me wonder about movie soundtracks and which soundtrack you can’t live without. Below, I have a few options so feel free to add whatever you think is missing in the comments.
Almost Famous
Grease
Rent
Twilight
Other
The past three weeks literally have been a whirlwind. From starting a new job in NYC to catching at least two shows a week, it’s been insane, but at the same time one of my most inspiring months yet. Not only did I get to cover the legendary Zootopia concert and interview some amazing bands (see me interviewing Fergie above!!!), but I have become even more convinced that this whole music thing is what I absolutely have to continue and pursue to no end.
Whether it was interviewing Mat Kearney on his tour bus this past Tuesday and getting a behind-the-scenes look at life on the road, or seeing a band perform live as they convert every person in the room as fans, it’s just been one of those light bulb moments.
What better song then, to feature than Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer?” Every time I hear it I think of my all-time favorite film “Almost Famous.” And, amazingly enough, the past few weeks I have been living out the movie myself.
