Our Featured Artist of the Month for March is The Script. I’ve been raving about this Irish band for several months now. They have had a number of huge hits in the U.K., especially my favorite song of theirs, “Breakeven”. Another of their hits, “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved”, is heard in the first few minutes of every recent “Ghost Whisperer” episode. I am sure they are destined for huge success on this side of the Atlantic too.

News of another show this week that will NOT be renewed. ABC announced that “Life On Mars” will not be picked up for a second season, but at least they will show all season one episodes and the storyline will be completed in the series finale. I have been a great fan of the show but I was an even bigger fan of the original British version. Coincidentally, the follow-up series to the BBC show, called “Ashes To Ashes” premiered on BBC America this weekend, featuring many of the same characters from the UK version of “Life On Mars” and set in the early 1980s featuring the music of that time, but I guess with the cancellation of the USA show there will be NO USA version of “Ashes to Ashes.” I write about both shows on this website LifeOnMarsSoundtrack.com - "Life On Mars" was full of very good music from the seventies and will be missed. Another casualty this month is ABC Family's "Kyle XY" which was another music-heavy show that featured a lot of new artists.
