The Soundtrack of the Gilmore Girls: From Hardcore Punk to Nena – RP ONLINE

Düsseldorf, Germany. girlfriend and Netflix in the past few weeks, not a good combination. Every night it was in the living room of our author: “Gilmore Girls” watch! To be for the new episodes of ready, he was watching all of the seasons, and unexpected discoveries. By Kilian Tress

153 episodes, spread over seven seasons, I have to look at in the past eight weeks on the Couch. Three, four, five, pumped with coffee every day to follow. On the weekend, sometimes more. Just to be today up-to-date for the eighth season. Football, “the Walking Dead” or “House of Cards”? No Chance! Rory and Lorelai dominated now the action on our flat screen.

But it didn’t take long, because I noticed, as I looked forward to each additional episode with the “Gilmore Girls”. Not because of the love drama around Rory and the guys you dragged in again and again. But because of the cleverly chosen music, the Rory’s life. CD-tips, jokes, and guest performers from the rock scene – hardly a show manages to combine the small-town life of a few-Hundred-and-soul town with the wild big-city Punk. The moments are my favorite.

mother-daughter-girl group

The day of Rory’s birth is the mother of Lorelai not particularly happy. Your friend Christopher has made from the dust, their parents are late. Lorelei standing in front of a pile of broken glass. The courage she draws from her only possession: a Walkman with the Tape, “99 air balloons” from “girl power-NDW-Star” Nena. The hidden Symbol of the fact that Lorelai will be in the future to master as a single woman in your way? Maybe.

A second hidden indication of this is Rory’s first infant Romper. An old band shirt of the Band “Bananaramas”. In a sense, the Band was a kind of prototype of emerging, emancipated girl groups such as “The Bengals” and, later, the Spice Girls. It is the Gilmore-girl group, mother and daughter, welded together in any case.

CD-tips from the Gilmore Girls

In the second season (broadcast in 2001) wants to enjoy Rory their lunch breaks at the Chilton. To do this, sounds most like the Song “Know your Onion” by the Band “The Shines”. Wow! the (Episode 2/07)

What is so special about it? Now, the Band “The Shins” it was only three years later, famous. Before the plate of the “Inverted World” was only a few. In the movie “Garden State” (2004), known by Scrubs actor Zach Braff, ran for about a Minute of today’s most popular Song “New Slang”. Over 60 million clicks in the title on Youtube alone.

For Gilmore Fans of the plate was so long in the past. A few years later, The Shins took “” in another episode, a guest role. During spring break in Florida, the Band played the Song “So says I” from the same Album (2003/ Episode 4/17). The scene ended by the way, completely unexpectedly, that friend of Paris Rory a kiss on the mouth.

XTC – music history

More than two decades, the Band XTC, from England, was successful on the road. To squabbles with the record company led, that between 1994 and 1999 there were no new Songs and albums to be published. Thousands of XTC Fans had to swallow the bitter pill. Only in the year 2000, the Band had already quite a reputation as a New-Wave cult classic, held went, with a long-awaited new Album: “Wasp Star” (Apple Venus Volume 2).

Rory’s best friend Lane celebrated this day to death. In addition, the plate had more important Parts: it runs in the Background as Rory for the first Time, the Chilton enters, and later, when she is kissing her friend Jess for the first Time “officially”. the (Episode 3/08)



The Distillers – keeps the relationship going

Rory is smart, but naive. And also just a girl, the cool guys wrap around the Finger. Your friend Jess does not answer for the umpteenth Time. On days Rory does not know his whereabouts. So she draws the line, by phone. But Jess still has an ACE up his Sleeve. Last-minute Tickets to a punk concert.

However, it is the Band “The Distillers”. A Band in the category of Hardcore Punk probably the dirtiest variety, with screeching electric guitars and a throaty Whiskey voice of singer Brody Dalle. And prompt the 17-Year-old girl is convinced again of Jess. (Episode 3/15).

PJ Harvey and a touch of Radiohead

That does not work, however, he had to learn to Tristan – the greasy blonde Boy of the Chilton, which has a lot of money, a large Dose of self-awareness. Two Tickets for a concert for PJ Harvey let Rory cold. What you missed: PJ Harvey was one of the Largest in the Independent scene. It started with Radiohead singer Thom Yorke, for example, the Album “Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea (2000)”.

Also with Bjork PJ Harvey stand together on the stage. Today, she proposes to politically still on the Strict. Beginning in 2016, they moved to Washington Trouble, as she focused on the drug problems in the U.S. capital.

Punk Planet, a magazine for the hardcore punks

Jess loves Punk and Band Shirts. Again and again, he bears the name Metallica, Hardcore Kidd or Distillers. In Episode 2/15 the word “Punk Planet decorates” his red Shirt. Thus, although it is not a Band, but his time quite unknown music magazine.

it was Only in the follow years, the leaf from Chicago’s soldiering through a big, exclusive Interviews with musicians in the punk rock area, one of the most popular Punk Magazine in the United States. And flipped Jess even through the current issue of the magazine. Since 2007, however, it is due to a lack of advertising revenue broke.

Sebastian Bach – the Rockstar with the “Gilmore Girls”

Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, or Axl Rose are the Big rock of the 80s and early 90s. Without further ADO, also Skid-Row-Fronstsänger Sebastian Bach joins in the Tradition of the long-haired Rocker. The Canadians on the American market of men’s and women’s hearts beat faster, was the beginning of the 90s at number one in the album charts.

the Band Skid Row broke up at the beginning of the 2000s, began to stream his Solo career. But should from now on look at his second game of his leg. His first role he held as a “Gil” in the “Gilmore Girls”. As in his forties, he played a metal guitarist with good relations in the music scene. Quickly he is part of lane’s Band “Hep Alien”.

Gil led Zack, Lane and Brian through his contacts to Audition to the New York Punk Club CBGB’s, where once the time-honoured Ramones are coming of age. There are around a dozen appearances in the show followed, as the Election Day in Stars Hollow.
