03 Apr 2009 Ella
 |  Category: Gilmore Music  | 5 Comments

I was listening to a Frank Sinatra based internet station the other day.  I can tell when people aren’t Frank Sinatra because they are women.  I have quite the ear for music.  Then one song came on & I was like “Ohhhh, pretty voice.  It’s not Frank Sinatra because it’s a woman. It’s so soothing.  I could listen to this all day.”

By the end of the song something had happened.  My face was resting on my elbows & I had no desire to ever move, ever again.  Then I looked up to see who the singer was….Ella.  It was exactly what happened to Sookie, Lorelai, Michel & Rory when they were trying to pick out Sookie’s wedding song.  I love Ella, but it was Gilmore de ja vu.

26 Sep 2008 My Lane Kim Moment
 |  Category: Gilmore Music  | 5 Comments

I don’t know what made me decide that I had a natural affinity for the drums. Especially since I’ve never actually played them. I guess I thought I would be good at it because it combines my affinity for hitting stuff with my affinity for looking cool. A few years ago a friend gave me a set of drum sticks & then we proceeded to hit pots & pans, which Lane also did. I don’t know why I thought if I sucked at hitting pots & pans, I would rock at playing the drums.

I was at my friends new house & she led me into a room with a set of garage sale drums. It was the first time I ever sat behind a drum set. So naturally the first thing I did was take pictures of me looking cool. Then, finally it was time to play. I, like Lane Kim, knew this was my calling. Then I actually tried to play & realized it wasn’t. At least I looked cool.

28 Mar 2008 Everything I didn’t know about Sam Phillips

  • First off, Sam Phillips is a girl. I should’ve guessed this because she is credited with the la la music on Gilmore Girls.
  • According to wikipedia she was promoted in the 80’s as “the Christian Cyndi Lauper.”
  • Went from using the name Leslie Phillips to the name Sam Phillips when she changed record labels in 1988. That’s quite the leap.
  • New album expected out this year call “Will you trade me this for a tank of gas?” Haven’t we all asked that question at some point & time?

I think that in the scene when Lorelai is trimming the tree by herself before she finds out that Richard has had a heart attack (Yes, that was a lot easier than just looking up the episode title) that the background music is Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses. I win the award for the longest run on sentence. I’m not sure this is the music, but if it isn’t, it certainly should be.
