The greatest job in the world

So get this, someone out there is being paid to listen to good music. This job actually exists, they get paid to watch stuff before its released and pinpoint certain songs to certain moments and set certain moods. The title is known as a "Music Supervisor" and they are people who have an appreciation for all styles of music and are good at spotting artists. If you've ever watched a tv show and wanted to know what song was playing during a particular scene because you've never heard it before you can thank the music supervisors for exposing you to new music.

Just throwing out some names:

Alexandra Patsavas, was in charge of the super indie to mainstream soundtracks of Twilight, The O.C., Greys Anatomy and Gossip Girl. For exposing mainstream audiences to underground music there is no greater job. Her superiority complex must be fantastically high.

Chris Mollere was in charge of music for Pretty Little Liars, The Vampire Diaries and Kyle XY. Once again angering hipsters world wide for betraying their favourite artists.

I thought I'd have a go at compiling a soundtrack. It's not for any particular film or tv show but it certainly sets a mood. Let's just say its the soundtrack for the first season of MotionColor.
