Music Supervisor Profile :: Thomas Golubic
We are excited to announce a new monthly feature on Rollo & Grady in which we interview the biggest and brightest music supervisors in the film and television business.
This month we spoke with Thomas Golubic, supervisor for The Walking Dead, Rubicon, and my personal favorite: Breaking Bad. Golubic, along with his business partner at the time, Gary Calamar (True Blood), revolutionized the use of indie music in television through his and Calamar’s work on the HBO drama, Six Feet Under. The duo, both DJs at KCRW, placed songs on the show by Thievery Corporation, Wilco, Quantic, Ryan Adams, PJ Harvey, Bob Mould, and Interpol, to name a few.
Thomas next parlayed his talents to work on one of the most exciting dramas on television: Breaking Bad. He continued his streak of quality placements using TV On The Radio, Timber Timbre, Beastie Boys, The Walkmen, Gnarls Barkley, Calexico, and Darondo.
During our conversation, Thomas spoke openly about the challenges music supervisors face today. He also offered excellent advice on how to break into the business. Lastly, he discussed the importance of music blogs and the Hype Machine as key resources for finding new music.

Artists To Watch In 2011
You could argue that the majority of the bands on the list already made names for themselves in 2010. But if you surveyed people that don’t regularly follow blogs/tumblrs, 8 out of 10 wouldn’t recognize any of the bands listed below. In 2011, I expect these artists to break out and reach a larger audience.
1. Lord Huron
Hometown: Los Angeles
Label: Unsigned
Lord Huron – The Stranger
2. Devin Therriault
Hometown: Brooklyn
Label: Unsigned
Devin Therriault – I Don’t Think I
