My Favourite Music: Songs from Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I can honestly say that I loved this show – OK, maybe not Series 6… but the rest of it. There are obvious reasons why I liked it so much and some less obvious ones too. I guess that one of those was the music. The incidental music was pretty good (as evidenced by several tracks on the Radio Sunnydale CD) but what I really liked was the songs introduced either as background music or by real bands playing at The Bronze. Loving the show as I do I bought the first CD (cunningly called: Buffy the Vampire Slayer – The Album) as soon as it came out and played it to death. I then waited far too long for the second CD (the aforementioned Radio Sunnydale) and was most certainly not disappointed. Finally I even bought the CD of the very strange musical episode Once more, with Feeling. Yup. I’ve got it bad I tell you! But if you love the series anything like I do then you just have to own at least a part of the music.
I have the Once More With Feeling CD. Heck, I'm starting to buy the DVDs of the show, which is super-pathetic. TV just hasn't been the same. I knew I liked you for reason. Go Buffy.
ReplyDeleteMy wife's a huge Buffy fan. I liked it quite a bit too. The quirky dialog is what appealed to me.
ReplyDeleteAnd unlike my wife, I DID like the musical episode.

Me too... Oh, and SMG and Ms Hannigan of course. Vampire Willow was a real treat to watch..
I never saw this series while it was on the air..BUT, for my Birthday, Betty G's youger son Andy Parks gave me the DVD of the First Season, knowing I would no doubt get "hooked"....I haven't had the time to watch it yet, but reading your post about the music, I am putting it on my "must watch" list...this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI will get back to youy, dear CK!
I'm one of "those people" who has never seen an episode or even so much as a clip from this show. I know people who loved the series, but never tuned in myself. I think it must have run against another show that I was really in to.
