Television has become the new radio. Well actually for me the internet has become the new radio, but I noticed a song at the end of last weeks “BROTHERS & SISTERS” (a new show starring Calista Flockhart and Rachel Griffiths among others) and it really was a great song.

I looked up the show on the internet and discovered it was Joshua Radin and according to Wikipedia he ..

is an acoustic-alternative singer/songwriter.

Radin began his artistic pursuits at an early age with art, acting and music. When close friend and actor/film-maker Zach Braff heard a demo of Radin’s song “Winter,” he was immediately interested, and got the song onto his show Scrubs in the episode My Screw Up. The song received an overwhelmingly positive response and gave Radin substantial exposure with the show’s demographic. The songs “Today”, “Closer”, “Don’t Look Away” and “These Photographs” were also used on the show.

Since, Joshua’s songs have been further featured on the FOX Television drama North Shore, and the ABC medical drama Grey’s Anatomy. His song “Star Mile” is on The Last Kiss movie soundtrack.

The album “We Were Here” was released in 2006, containing many of the songs featured on the various television shows. The album is made up of heavily acoustic indie Folk/Pop, and is especially reminiscent of Simon & Garfunkel, Elliott Smith, Damien Rice and Iron & Wine.

So it would appear that for Joshua television really is the new radio. He is getting way more exposure from the tube than from radio. Have a listen to the song and see what you think. I really do rather like it.
