Chop Shop Music Supervision's Friend Space (Top 7)
At first, I got the Twilight soundtrack just for 'Decode' and 'Flightless Bird,' but the entire soundtrack has grown on me, and has become an absolute favorite. Can't wait for the New Moon soundtrack. November, come sooner, please.
Hi, just wanna thank you for giving us a great start at MySpace. 'Round 200 plays and almost 500 friends in a couple of days. Just wonderful. Thank you and we love you all.
Hello. I met you at SXSW, and you were very nice, but did not have anywhere to put my CD. Anyway, if you happen to hear anything you like on my page, feel free to use it!! Figured that works better than doing/saying nothing. Take care!
Hi from the female fronted rock band "A beautiful Chaos" from New Zealand. Thanks for all your outstanding hard work placing music, it is the most perfect expression of heart and soul for me!
Thanks for all the great music on some of my favorite shows. Killa Women in Business..Love it! I just booked a co-star role on ABC family...will keep you posted on the premiere!
Thank you for adding me. I hope you get a moment to check out the two "New Moon" inspired songs I wrote. I mailed off a package to you with lyrics sheets and a brief explanation, but couldn't track down an address, so sent it to Summit to your attention.
The Twilight soundtrack was AWESOME and whether or not you use my songs, I know you'll make New Moon an amazing soundtrack, as well. Can't wait to hear it!
