I've created a wizard rock set list which adheres pretty closely to the plot of the seven books, book by book. I chose a variety of artists I particularly like, that have done a good job of dramatically presenting various scenes or just the feeling the books evoke, through their lyrics and music.

Here's how I'd tell the story of Harry Potter through Wizard Rock songs )

Your suggestions, additions, deletions? I'm probably relying most heavily on Riddle™ and Ministry of Magic, with a goodly dose of Harry and the Potters, Draco and the Malfoys, the Parselmouths, the Weasel King, the Remus Lupins, the Whomping Willows, and Oliver Boyd & the Remembralls.

Saw this notice on Wizrocklopedia [[livejournal.com profile] wizrocklopedia]: Yet another example of what wizard rockers are doing to decrease worldsuck:
Upon learning about families and children affected by natural disasters across the world, Megan, from The Wizard Rockumentary, and Mark, from Marked As His Equal, decided they wanted to help. Megan and Mark created From Beneath These Ashes, a 2-disc Wizard Rock compilation featuring over 30 Wizard Rock bands, and spanning both "light" and "dark" themes.

All of the proceeds from the compilation will go to Save the Children, "the leading independent organization creating lasting change in the lives of children in need in the United States and around the world.” Save the Children continues to help children and families who have been affected by disasters in our country, like hurricane relief in the Gulf Coast, and all over the world, such as the cyclones in Myanmar.

From Beneath These Ashes features previously unreleased songs from The Remus Lupins, Catchlove, House of Black, Draco and the Malfoys, and many other awesome Wizard Rock bands. There will be a limited run of hard copy CDs, so don’t forget to preorder! After the hard copies have run out, the compilation will remain online for purchase to continue raising funds.

Whether you see yourself singing along to the "light" side, rocking out to the "dark" side, or you just want to get an amazing CD in exchange for helping families in need, From Beneath These Ashes is sure to please.

See the track list here. Preorders are open now. You can reserve your copy here.
Yes, I ordered my copy, which is what I did today to make the world a better place.

Jace of Catchlove and Christian of Oliver Boyd & the Remembralls have teamed up as the duo Talons & Tea Leaves. I just dropped Jace an email asking about the whereabouts of a CD I'd ordered from him, and I mentioned in passing that I was hoping that they'd make the Talons & Tea Leaves song "Hallelujah" downloadable. He was a little embarrassed about the CD being late, and so just because I asked, he made all the songs on the Talons & Tea Leaves page downloadable. Hurrah.

Grab them.

Two songs available for free download on Catchlove's supplemental page: "Sibyll Trelawney" (which is a parody of "Eleanor Rigby") and "The Lonely Life of Sir Nick."

Pretty good stuff. Catchlove is one part of the two-musician duo Talons and Tealeaves, the other member is Christian of Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls.
