Glee 2x17 "Night of Neglect" | Jack Johnson "Bubble Toes"

This artist is probably pretty somewhat well known, but I've had a crazy, busy week and have barely watched any shows.


This past week, the character Mike Chang, danced to Jack Johnson's Bubble Toes at the Glee Club's Night of Neglect night. One thing I wasn't so sure of was the fact that during this concert, they were performing/using songs from neglected artists, and I'm not sure if Jack is considered neglected or not. But maybe if you think about it, maybe he is.

I've heard about Jack for a few years since before he even did his single, Upside Down, for the Curious George movie. My favorite song of his is Sitting, Waiting, Wishing but after looking to see where his music has been featured in other TV shows, it looks like he doesn't have any other songs in shows other than this one in Glee.

So, to introduce you guys to him, here are a few songs that I would love to see in various shows.

Jack Johnson's music style is acoustic. Since he is also from Hawaii, some of his songs feature the ukulele. He has had 6 studio albums released since his first release in 2001.

Other Songs:
Better Together
If I Had Eyes
Go On

Allie Moss "Something To Hold On To" | Bones 7x17 "The Feet on the Beach"

Last week's episode of Bones had song that kind of peaked my interest. Very beautiful, but sadly I couldn't find a recording of it on Youtube, aside from live versions. Here is what I think might be a good version of it. This song was played during the closing scene of the Bones episode titled "The Feet on the Beach" during the closing scenes when the character Camille is talking to her daughter, Michelle.



Allie Moss sings with Ingrid Michaelson on her tours regularly, and has the same kind of style of music as Ingrid. When I found this out, I wasn't very surprised since when I heard this song, I thought "That sounds like Ingrid!" Now I'm wondering if I saw her when I went to Ingrid and Mat Kearney's concert last year!

Even though she has only one EP out, Passerby.  Allie's music has been featured on shows such as Brothers & Sisters and Pretty Little Liars. She is a singer and songwriter and has been performing since 2005.

Other songs:
Leave It All Behind

Gomez "How We Operate" | Grey's Anatomy 7x18 "Song Beneathe the Song" & 2x26"Fight or Flight "

Grey's Anatomy did something they've never done before. A musical episode. They took music that they helped make famous through the show and releasing three soundtracks for the 1st three seasons with the music featured on the show. They took those songs and had the main characters sing them.

I've been a fan of the show since it started back in 2005, and I have all three albums. So for someone who loves music and this show, this episode was amazing 'cause I haven't listened to those albums in forever, but they did sing my favorites and it has made me want to listen to the songs again.

One of my favorite songs from the 2nd album, How We Operate, was first played on the season 2 episode "Fight or Flight" during the scene where the Neurosurgeon Derek Shepherd (aka, McDreamy) was operating on fellow cardio surgeon's hand.

This past week, the song was sung by the trauma surgeon, Owen Hunt, as he and fellow surgeons were trying to figure out how to save their co-worker and friend, Callie Torres, after she and her girlfriend got into a car accident.

The song is originally performed by the band Gomez. I have heard his music on House, Bones and other episodes of Grey's Anatomy.

Gomez is a band from Southport, England has an indie rock band style to its music. They have been together since 1997, and is still going today. Since then, they have released 6 studio albums, with their new one, Whatever's On Your Mind, set to be released on June 6.



Here is the original recording for How We Operate, but I decided to share this link, 'cause it has some clips from season 1 of the show. Just ignore the 1st few seconds where another song is being played.

Get Miles
Moon and Sun (also has clips from Grey's Anatomy)
