Want to spark some party chatter or get a rousing Facebook debate going? Ask your friends to recommend their favorite movie soundtracks.

Faster than you can say “Twilight,” you’ll have more movie titles than you can shake a clove of garlic at. From the rich, violet funk of Prince’s “Purple Rain” to the giddy ‘60s love songs from “Dirty Dancing,” people can’t help raving about their cinema darlings.

With MyMusicCloud, you can even hear your new finds before you exit the movie theater. Our cloud-based music delivery system has an online music store where you can search, find and download new soundtracks straight to almost any portable device.

You can even alert your Facebook friends to your new discoveries with our convenient “Share” button. Tell them you’re enjoying the soundtrack to “The Hunger Games” or bopping along to an old favorite like “Summer Lovin’” from “Grease.”

Or throw a themed DVD-watching party at home and pre-mix a playlist with MyMusicCloud showcasing all your favorite romantic comedy, ‘70s disco or even horror movie music. Your friends will be amazed!

Here are some of our favorite movie soundtracks to get you started:

1.       Pulp Fiction: Shimmy like John & Uma to this eclectic rock mix.

Springtime is music time. It means unpacking that cooler and warm, fuzzy concert blanket, searching out your favorite bands, and camping out under the sun or stars at a blissful outdoor music festival, whether it’s the Stagecoach Country Music Fest in Indio, California or Groezrock 2012 with Rancid and A Simple Plan in Meerhout (Belgium).

But before you hit the road with your friends, you’ll need a pre-show playlist to set the mood and get those good vibrations flowing. Piece of cake: Just upload your music collection to our cloud-based music delivery service, MyMusicCloud, and pre-mix your own concert playlist. Blend the mesmerizing rock of Radiohead with the soothing harmonies of Bon Iver, or the frantic rock of Franz Ferdinand with the high-pitched warblings of The Cure.

Missing some essential tracks? Our MyMusicCloud store has 11 million songs, including chart-toppers like Rihanna in our New Releases section, and deeper tracks in your favorite Genre categories like Drum N Bass, Metal, World Music or Country.

Hot Band Alert: New York’s More Than Fate

Here at MyMusicCloud, we’re always looking for fresh, undiscovered music you want to share and take with you using our cloud-based music delivery service. That’s why we’re excited to introduce you to underground NYC band More Than Fate.

Born from the rough-and-tumble NYC music scene, this Astoria foursome plays “rock music, plain and simple,” says lead guitarist Carlos Casados. The group includes drummer Phil Lherisson and vocalist Eddie Slate (both formerly of the band Ampithy) with Jack McLeod on bass guitar.

Taking their name from the soaring Eye Empire song “More Than Fate,” they’re part of a new breed of alternative rock. Finding musical talent in the NYC area isn’t difficult, Eddie admits, “the difficulty lies in finding other dedicated musicians that mesh well together.”

Despite their diverse musical backgrounds, “as soon as we started, it was an instant musical bond. It was like we knew exactly what was on each other’s minds,” Phill adds.

Have you ever bonded or forged new friendships through music? The great thing about discovering a little-known band like More Than Fate is sharing it with your friends. With MyMusicCloud, you can sync your favorite bands’ albums across any mobile phone, PCs, Macs, tablets and other devices, and even share what you’re listening to on Facebook with friends around the world.

On Saturday, April 7, New Yorkers can hear More Than Fate live when they perform at the Studio in New York’s Webster Music Hall, 125 E. 11th St, with headliners The Day Will Come, and fellow bands When All Else Fails, Blacken The Fallen, We The Living and Live For Today. For ticket prices and information, visit Webster Music Hall online.

Check out their website and Facebook page, enjoy the gig, and tell us what you think
