ReelSoundtrack

About me:

Five years ago, Michelle came to me and said how disappointed she was with the soundtrack CD for the movie Shag. She loved the music in the movie, but none of those songs were on the CD soundtrack. The soundtrack contained a bunch of other songs that weren't nearly as good.

So I watched the movie, took note of every song and created a CD of my own. I called it the Real Soundtrack (or the ReelSoundtrack) for Shag. I burned her a copy. She loved it. Eventually she even agreed to marry me. I credit ReelSoundtrack for playing an important part. An idea was born. When I told a couple people the story, they asked if I knew the songs in other movies. So I started making a list. Interest turned to obsession.

Over the last couple years, I spent too many Red Bull and sour gummy worm-fueled late nights manually entering more than 35,000 songs from movies, TV shows and commercials into a database.

Now, the database is live at ReelSoundtrack. And since MySpace started as a site for bands to share their music, I figured this is a good place to continue the conversation. If you love music from music, movies, TV shows, commercials and video games, then ReelSoundtrack is your friend.
