Awesome idea Nick! TFTNT Lindsey.

Andstuff · 06-14-2013, 09:11 PM

This is a cool idea. The post looks great, Lindsey.

I think she went to a Bon Iver concert on August 2011. In case you want to add that

winterbird · 06-15-2013, 02:36 AM

Added the concert Lydia (so happy to see you posting again btw

) and I know we got a lot of other concert/festival sightings in the last few years so everyone is free to help out with those

Quote from Rachel talking about listening to music to prepare for the Cameron Crowe project.

Thank you for the quote, Lindsey

. I am curious about these Hawaiian playlists.

Whitehorse (Canadian folk duo) on March 2013, is one I remember. Wasn't she at a Maroon 5 concert this year too? Maybe I am imagining things. Her music taste is awesome.

In this article about her induction to the Wall of Fame in St. Thomas she mentions that she loves Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell.

Quote:

She also credited Pereira and her husband Christopher Pereira – another of McAdams' former high school teachers – for inspiring her.

“(Christopher) Pereira taught me to love Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell,” McAdams told reporters afterward. We did, like, two months on Leonard Cohen. Where does that happen, ever?

“It just goes to show what an impact teachers can have on a kid's life, and what that can develop into.”

Thanks Lydia, added Whitehorse and Maroon 5 (found the sighting here).

And thank you Amanda, added Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell to her favorite artist list.

No I didn't Nick, but I added it to the concert sightings list as well

Thanks for sharing! She has a wide range of music she likes

amanda s. · 06-17-2013, 09:49 AM

Yes, she does! I love it so much. Remember this? I laughed so much when I read it the first time:

Quote:

Owen Wilson: I remember when you had to do an emotional scene you prepared by listening to your Ipod. It was “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac. [both laugh] Boy, you’d hear that song and it was like turning on a faucet!
RM: Oh, I can’t believe you! And then Vince [Vaughn, who also appears in the film] started singing it too. You were noth standing there at the altar, sining “Landside” dead serious. It totally took me out! But whatever works.

Jord-Temp · 06-17-2013, 09:55 AM

She certainly has a great taste in music!

Thanks for the updates everyone

I don't, but that is so funny

winterbird · 06-19-2013, 02:05 AM

Thanks for the quote Amanda. I actually didn't remember that quote, but it's great for her that she is working with Crowe if she uses music to prepare for a scene

Maybe another reason for her to take on a supporting part? (Because I know people are/were surprised of her being second to Emma)

EDIT: Looks like she was at the NXNE Festival in Toronto

Good point Lindsey & thanks for the sighting

amanda s. · 06-21-2013, 11:07 AM

I saw a photo of a band at NXNE that was tagged with Rachel's name for no reason, I bet that's why! She must have been at their set. Let me go look for it. Okay, okay, here it is. Idk who that is though.

Also, I just started looking around because I remember Angel Taylor tweeting about Rachel coming to a show a long time ago (if I remember correctly, she said that Rachel hugged her after the show and told her that she'd cried during her set) but so far this is all I've found. But another commenter said: "Rachel McAdams was at the show, Angel Taylor had it on her Twitter she met her last night." Unfortunately I can't get her Twitter to go back to September of 2009! But I'll keep at it and see if I can figure something else out. It looks like that show was really a Brandi Carlile one. BABOOM??

Angel Taylor @ataylormusic

I met Rachel McAdams last night at the show. We talked for 20min. She was teary and tried to pay for my cd. I refused and gave it to her
