J: TV and movie characters (especially teens) seem to like to form bands. What are some of your favorite fictional musical groups?
Jennifer: My first TV obsession was Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I loved Dingoes Ate My Baby, which was Oz's band (music provided by the real band Four Star Mary...I actually have some of their CDs). Recently I got really into Scott Pilgrim (both the graphics novels and the movie) and Sex Bob-omb (music provided by Beck for the movie soundtrack). Oh, and I love the "band" formed in Once for the recording session and also Where's Fluffy? from Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist, even though we never actually see or hear them...
Mira: Aww, Oz! I never knew that was the name of the band. I really like That Thing You Do! and The Wonders. It's just one of those movies that for whatever reason I've watched over and over again and enjoy each time. And they're "one hit wonder" band had a fantastically catchy one hit wonder. :) Another favorite fictional music group.... well I loved TeenNBC so... California Dreams. :)
By the way... HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN!!!!

i guess Gorillaz doesn't count, huh? :)
i'll say Stillwater, from the movie "Almost Famous." one of my favorite movies, and i love their song "Fever Dog." an honorable mention to Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids, the great animated kids program that bill cosby created. they would end every show with the kids doing a song and playing instruments from the junkyard, all about the lesson that was taught during the show.
schoolhouse rock! :)
i LOVE schoolhouse rock!!!
