Saw someone mention the Fixx t'other day, hence the thread title.
Ever gotten into one thing, coz of another?
In the life aquatic, there's a scene where 'gut feeling' by Devo is playing, I'd never heard of the awesomeness that is Devo prior to that.
Example two, I'd never heard of Morris Day and the time before watching Jay and silent Bob strike back, and even though I didn't dig on the film too much, 'jungle love' is brillo, OH WEE OH WEE OH!
The best example I can offer is the grand theft auto series of games, on the playstation 2/Xbox onward.
The music used on there is so diverse it has led me to appreciate genres I had no concept of prior to discovering them on GTA, genres like dub reggae, funk, rare groove, r and b, soul, latino, classical, old rock, new rock, old skool hip-hop, 80's stuff, which leads me back to the fixx, I really would have never heard of them in a million. Or Wang chung, isn't dance hall days a fun little song?
Erm yeah, basically a lot of music that woulda passed me by was plucked from obscurity thanks to some indirect influences.
The researchers deserve knighthoods or summat.
So yeah, circle of life, one good thing influencing another, any examples?
