Peg Kerr's Journal

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.

The Curse Breakers have released a new song, a free download (if you have a MySpace account): "Be My Dementor." Jessie has a terrific, smoky voice, and this one is a lot of rockin' fun. Not to mention, she's stupefyingly gorgeous and bears more than a passing resemblance to Lily Evans. You could imagine Severus Snape staying obsessed with those eyes for years:

Jessie of the Curse Breakers

As always, please comment if you listen or like, just for my own curiosity.

The Curse Breakers. Now you can buy her songs for 99 cents each. I'm definitely buying "Full Moon" and I absolutely love "Battle of Hogwarts" (although personally I'm passing up on "Harry's Grumpy.") I love her voice, smokey and very well developed, and this is definitely a rockin' singer (unlike many of the other more folky Wrock groups).

(Comment to let me know if you like her, too.)
