I’m reluctant to keep posting these what-song-was-on-TV updates, since it’s only interesting when a cool song gets picked up by a shitty show/commercial, but Veronica Mars fans crave attention, and it gives me an excuse to write about Britt Daniel.
In last night’s Mars episode, after being dumped by her boyfriend, Veronica needed some sulking music, and turned to Air, one of my favorite bands (this blog name comes from “Radio #1″). A reader wrote in with the details:
She went in her room alone to sulk, complete with a camera shot of her looking through her cds, grabbing The Virgin Suicides soundtrack, putting it on, and blaring it loudly as she laid down in bed all sad like. Maybe you should take all this information and make a grid.
This is the Spoon part: In next week’s episode, Britt Daniel makes an appearance in a karaoke bar with a swanky rendition of Elvis Costello’s “Veronica.” Now THAT I’d like to hear.
On The O.C. front, tonight you’ll see Seth Cohen taking a puff of Kaitlin’s wacky tobacky. He gets high and misses his college interview. I hope this is not, as the promos suggest, a lesson-learning Very Special Episode.
Stereogum’s main query: Will Cohen drop Death Cab for the Dead? Phish? Trey & Dave?
Let’s hear your O.C. Mix CD suggestions for this new, incense-burning, hippie Seth Cohen.

veronica mars has featured spoon songs before. and i demand a spoiler alert there next time, stereo.
I don’t know that you’d really need a spoiler for something that’s in a press release (Merge Records.)
Considering dios (malos) was a favorite of Josh Schwartz in the past, and they’ve yet to play anything from their latest album, I predict we’ll hear a little doobie music from those cali potheads.
dang, i misplaced my…press releases.
They have enough dandy warhols on the OC to inspire any mention of a “Insert drug here” Mix.
Vietnam, God, why didn’t I think of that, those guys look like they are straight from the battlefield….
I think some Crucial Conflict “Smoking on Hay”
would suffice….
well it’s about time seth got fucked up! let’s hope he moves on to crystal meth!
well it’s about time seth got fucked up! let’s hope he moves on to crystal meth!
….afroman, because i got high. because…you know, its about pot… and smoking it.
all stoners i know are really into that 311 shit.
what?
he wasn’t smoking before?!?
& here i thought he was cool all along….
what a nerd!
i say the generic choice will probably be my morning jacket
Seth Cohen on crystal meth? Then Jodie Sweetin can cameo!

Last night’s ep wasn’t the first time Veronica Mars played Air… “Run” was used earlier this season. And speaking of UPN shows nobody watches, I remember when they played Shins on Buffy (New Slang) – way before Garden State.
excellent mix rohan…my bloody valentine!
the OC has officially JUMPED THE SHARK!
how about…Dios malos – Feels good being somebody
Hey, did you know Lewis Taylor is going to be on Conan O’Brien on Friday night? Did you see the article in the New York Times about him ? I played “Shame Pt 2″ on my radio show Monday night, and namechecked Stereogum. Word.
I’m pushing for the undervalued gem “Sex Weed” by R. Kelly, over and over and over again.
Why am I so excited about Seth blazing it that I’m mass texting? Oh yeah, I’m a loser. Forgot for a second.
PS. Fuck your shark, we’re way beyond that at this point. Besides, the expression is now “jump the couch” or “hump my tunnel.”

ooo, ditto on the spoiler alert. but also, re: veronica mars, that episode featured some classic old 97′s (TWO songs no less).
Anything by Frankel or Scrabbel!
Isn’t “Veronica” about an old lady? Why not just play Ash’s “Girl from Mars”? Just as groan-worthy, but at least about a girl.
Who says Seth has to give up his hipster ways?? I think he’ll just switch over to All Devendra Banhart, All The Time!
Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of OZ brah!
It’s the only thing I listen to / watch while stoned. They’re like, made for eachother, or something…
wow. who cares?
veronica mars has featured some of the most perfectly timed songs on tv. did anyone see the first episode this season? “ashes” by embrace played over the final minutes was amazing. don’t diss this show; it’s phenomenal.
yeah except iirc she played the soundtrack, not the score… still it has a couple of air tracks on it.
Someone must be an Old 97s fan at Mars investigations. Not one, but two songs on this weeks ep… including one with Exene Cervenka on backup vocals.
dude, he BETTER get stoned and listen to Velvet Underground like the rest of us yuppie hipsters. don’t be a dick, Seth. know yr fuckin roots.
check out this dude’s blog:
http://sillypipedreams.blogspot.com
on mondays he posts songs from episodes from the OC and Veronica Mars and other shows. i prefer the grey’s anatomy songs, but the OC has some good songs now and then.
dark side of the moon is a good album
so are the early phish albums
i totally missed this episode!!!!
does anyone happen to have a picture of seth stoned?
please, hahaa. i want to see that so bad.
what a rad guy
