Air: Talkie Walkie (Astralwerks 2004)
"Not only is "Veronica Mars" the best show on television -- with sharp, intelligent dialogue, an intricate plot, and a talented cast -- but it is also a good source for great music. During one episode, a particularly dramatic scene was punctuated by this song that was completely captivating. Simultaneously dischordant and mellifluous, the song entranced me to the point that I had to rewind that scene and re-watch it just to listen to the song again. [It was "Run" from Air.] This French duo has a ton of albums out there, and their music really runs the gamut. While I enjoy some electronica, I find much of it to be repetitive and a little tedious after some time. This album defied my expectations, and I can listen to it in any mood. Give it a shot, and don't be surprised if you even hear influences as varied as the Beach Boys showing up in their music ("Surfing on a Rocket"). And while you're trying things out, go buy Veronica Mars Season 1 on DVD, too. You'll be glad you did." [iTunes]

You know, I've only seen Veronica Mars one time. And now I can't even remember what it was about.
Veronica Mars is awesome! Although I don't often pay attention to the music on there...maybe I should
I see that you moderate comments. Do you have haters?
Ha ha-- not yet. But at least I'm prepared for when I do!
