Soundtrack Saturday (4)

How Soundtrack Saturday works:
1. Every week we'll post about how music meshed with your reading that week. I want to make this a looser meme where you can briefly mention the link between music and your book of the moment.
Ideas:
* A song mentioned in a book that you were introduced to because of an author.
*An author's playlist - is there one (link if there is)? What did you think?
*A song that you thought while reading and how you think it fits to a scene or character, etc.
*Lyrics that reminded you of a book that you haven't read in ages.
*Basically anything that links your book with a song or playlist.

Preferably posts will be made every Saturday, but feel free to choose a day that works best for you.

2. You're participating? Great, welcome aboard. Please then make the effort to see what others are thinking by commenting on their blogs. Imagine the new musicians you might be introduced to.

3. Welcome one, welcome all. Join at any point and post when you can. Link back to Persnickety Snark as well. Cheers!

So great news - I received Major Crush yesterday. I heart Jenn Echols. So when I was thinking of a book/music combo for Soundtrack Saturday is was natural that I chose to focus on this book.
For those of you who don't know, Major Crush is about former teen pagent winner Virginia and her difficulties co-leading the band with the object of her affection, Drew.

Since this is a book about marching bands (in a nutshell) and about a girl finding her voice, I immediately thought of Gwen Stefani. Sure if prefer her No Doubt days but there is something intoxicating about Wind It Up with it's combination of a marching band and lyrics from 'The Lonely Goat Herd' that appeals to me...and it's delightfully bonkers.

Wind it Up!
