Monday Movie Music #2: TV Is The New Radio

Ok, these aren't exactly 'movies', but hey, these two shows are actually better than MOST movies, and they have way better music too.

Heck, a lot of the TV shows I watched these days have pretty good music, and a lot of it are from indie artistes.

Anyway, there's nothing more cool than hearing a song you really like come on during a movie or a TV show. And since I had two of those moments in quick succession recently, I decided to share those two songs with you today.

As you all might know already, the theme music for House is Massive Attack's Teardrop. And when José González's acoustic guitar version of that song came on during the Season 4 finale, I was practically whooping for joy. Er. as joyful as I could have got after watching what was one of the show's saddest episodes ever, that is.

Also, right now I'm watching Chuck, and the third episode featured what is one of the most fascinating bands ever, or at least the band with the most unique baritone lead vocals ever - The National. The song featured was also one of my favorites off their Boxer album - Slow Show. Get the damn album, it's awesome.
