He introduced me to pretty much most of the industrial I listen to, actually. Thanks to him my lawn-mowing was a lot more fun (this was before iPods. I had a Sony MP3 player that would play ordinary CDs or CDs with MP3s burned onto them. Yes, you read that right.)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">If you thought the guitar riff in\u00a0<em>Switchback\u00a0<\/em>sounded familiar, it&#8217;s because you&#8217;ve probably heard it before. Klayton of CellDweller sold his music to be available for commercials and movie previews, etc. I can remember it being used in the preview for the second Spider-man movie, the\u00a0<em>Doom\u00a0<\/em>movie and some weird young adult movie about go-karts. It was also used in America&#8217;s Next Top Model. The <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Celldweller_(album)\">licensing<\/a> section of the Wikipedia page for CellDweller&#8217;s eponymous first album has some interesting facts about how frequently his stuff gets used in the media.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">I know I&#8217;m repeating myself when it comes to concept albums, but &#8216;CellDweller&#8217; is a great concept album.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\">Also this:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><span style=\"line-height: 13px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.deviantart.com\/download\/308208832\/klayton_meme__band_by_yohan_gas_mask-d53hzgg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>httpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hQg4C5l9aPk Switchback By: CellDweller If you can forgive the goth porn\/epilepsy inducing music video, the song is really quite catchy (if a bit on the angsty side).
