I recently read my good friend Katie's post entitled "
The BEST Genre of Music Out There", it claims that the best genre of music is to be found on adverts and I have to say I agree that some are rather excellent. Although I do not think it is the
best place to find good music. I shall first explain that my life is rather a nerdy one, I enjoy Doctor Who marathons on a regular basis and I am also partial to a Sherlock marathon once in a while (although that does take rather a long time, nine hours in fact...). I often try to deduce things about new people I meet, taking inspiration from the original Sherlock Holmes himself. I find nothing better than staying in on a Saturday night playing video games and watching videos from this year's VidCon (which I REALLY wanted to go to) and...listening to music. This is where my post really begins.
Due to my frankly startling obsession with all things Doctor Who I have discovered a band I rather like. They are called Chameleon Circuit and, I can put this no other way, basically, they write songs about aforementioned Doctor Who. Before you stop reading and run away from the blog never to return, please hear me out. The music is rather good, some songs are about specific episodes (
Big Bang 2) and some are about characters (
Mr. Pond).
I will emphasise this, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LIKE (or even watch) DOCTOR WHO TO LIKE THE MUSIC. Obviously it helps, because you will understand the references to the show but you can still enjoy the music even if you do not understand what it is about. The band consists of five members, all YouTubers, Charlie McDonnell, Alex Day, Michael Aranda, Liam Dryden and Ed Blann. They are all really good vloggers in their own right but together they are BRILLIANT.
So basically what I am saying is, yes Katie, some of the best music is to be found on adverts, but in my opinion, the best music, once in a while, comes from some geeky inspiration.
