VITAMIN STRING QUARTET APPRECIATION POST

Hey guys :3
So I didn't know what to post about today and my friend suggested this. ^-^ Since I didn't know the band I had to pick info from wikipedia.
The Vitamin String Quartet is a group from Los Angeles widely known for its series of tribute albums to rock and pop acts. Their albums are released through Vitamin Records and primarily performed by a string quartet, though other instruments have been used. "Vitamin String Quartet is about applying rock n' roll attitude to classical technique," says Tom Tally, a violist and arranger who has performed on and produced over fifty Vitamin String Quartet albums.
Their albums honor a wide variety of genres not limited to pop and rock, including techno, country, and rap.In 2008, VSQ contributed a recording of "Jack and Sally Montage" to Nightmare Revisited, on which the Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas original score was reinterpreted.
Songs by Vitamin String Quartet were featured on the Fox television show So You Think You Can Dance twice in 2008. Songs appeared again on the show in Season 6. Legacy Perez used Flashing Lights as a track for a solo elimination dance which aired 9/12/2009. Yellow originally by Coldplay featured on the show as guest dancers on the Top 10 elimination show, The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers. This episode aired 2/12/2009
Two songs from The Vitamin String Quartet Tribute to Coldplay, "Yellow" and "Clocks," were used in an episode of TV show Vampire Diaries on April 22, 2010

That's it, I think it's amazing *-*
BTW, what have you guys doing lately? I went to a bookstore today, and I bought a book about nazism, two about socialism and another one in German (but I don't speak German so I don't know exactly what is this about, I bought because I want to learn so badly ^-^).



That's it, I'll try to finish my book about the vikings so I can start these ones 6(◦・ω・◦)9
And I'm going to study now :S
Take care
