NBC’s Life is back!
Posted by Craig on 30 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: Brag Reel
I’m a huge fan of NBC’s show Life, and it’s not just because the lead guy is Winters from Band of Brothers (but that did help get me hooked in the first place). The show centers around an LAPD detective, who was wrongly convicted of a crime, and served 12 years in prison (he was sentanced to “Life” get it?) before being proven innocent and set free. Sound interesting? It is!
Needless to say, as a fan/addict of the show, it’s a double bonus for me when we get placements for one of our Rescue Records artists or music libraries on the show. We had numerous placements throughout the first season, and we have been working hard on the 2nd season too.
Here is a great clip from the beginning of the last episode of first season (got that?) featuring Rescue Records artist Alan Reid’s song “Alarm and Trip.”
So what happens in Season 2? Sorry–can’t tell you! You’ll have to get your life spoilers somewhere else. Keep up the good work Sargent Winters–I mean Detective Crews; we’ll be watching!

[...] we’re on the brag-reel kick (see Tuesday’s post), we thought we’d show off another one of our favorite placements. This one is from Friday [...]

I am a huge fan of ‘Life’. I feel this is one of the best shows to air on any station in a long time.
I’m hoping you can tell me what the artist and song title is from the 10/10/08 episode near the beginning when the mock jail crime scene is first being investigated.
I also want to know why such a great show would be moved to Friday at 10pm. Isn’t this where shows go to die? There is far too much ‘Life’ left in this one!

Broadcast version: “Squares” by Beta Band
Online version: “Flatscreen” by Ketamine Suns
It’s been a great season for music!

Such incredible work you have been doing with the replacement of songs! Many times I must admit I prefer the online version
One song I’ve been looking for quite alot is the one featured in “The Business of Miracles”, episode 203, when Crews is hallucinating. Do you know?! Much appreciated, and yet again thx for all the great work bringing “Life” to the series

That’s great to hear! Music Supervisor Tricia Halloran’s chosen some great songs for the broadcast version so we’ve had great material to work with.
The song in #203 you’re referring to is called “Flying” - Written by Terrance Fontain. It’s a song from one of our great libraries “Sonic Quiver” and from a disc called “This is Indie”.
Thanks for supporting Life!

Is there a posting of all music for season 2 of “Life”? Would love to get my hands on the complete list.

looking for the name of the song playing in the background of episode 6 season 2 when reese and crews are arresting suspect and he is subsequently shot in the head in the back of the cruiser about 16 mins into the episode

I love Flatscreen. That song was stuck in my head for DAYS until I sat down for an hour to figure out what the heck it was. Kudos on that choice. Beats Squares hands down.

You can always go to the NBC.com Life message boards, where they have a list of all the songs of the second season.

I love Life it’s my fav show!
I’m looking for the song used in the online episode “I Heart Mom” when Reese & Crews are in the china/antique store. It sounded like Sharon Jones or similar. I really hope you can help me as I can’t seem to find this anywhere.
Cheers
Jon
