Topic: Veronica Mars
So, I'm a huge fan of Veronica Mars. I mean, how often do you run into a show that is on UPN and good?

In celebration of the fact that tomorrow brings a brand new episode, I thought it would be a good idea to post two of my current musical obsessions, ripped right from Rob Thomas's (No relation to that guy from that band) lovingly complied Veronica Mars Soundtrack.

Most recently, Veronica Mars fans heard Long Time Coming by the Delays, which played in the background of Duncan/Donut's stalking/"winning-back-Veronica-by-pretending-not-to-be-hanging-out-at-her-workplace-like-a-stalker-while-sitting-around-at-her-place-of-work-for-hours" sequence.

According to the Delays, it's a song "...about watching people you love losing their innocence and the naivety that you shared when you were younger, falling into the kind of adulthood you swore you never would, and wishing you could've done something about it. It's a loss of innocence and also of spontaneity and people becoming really guarded and jaded. Friends stuck in jobs you know they don't wanna do, living in houses they don't wanna live in."
It's worth mentioning that this song reached #16 on the UK charts last January, making us all wonder, yet again, if perhaps US Top Forty music is actually just a strange sociological experiment.


Next, let's dig into a song from last season, Momentary Thing by Something Happens, which played at that oh-so-dramatic moment in history when Veronica and Logan engaged in their first steamy liplock/cutesy chickenpeck.

Rob Thomas: "My band opened for the Irish band Something Happens when they played Austin many, many years ago. Great band. Great guys. When I lived in Ireland while writing Satellite Down, the guys in Something Happens showed me a very good time in Dublin. I LOVE the song Momentary Thing."


And finally, for those of you who just can't get enough Veronica Mars, an mp3 of Veronica Mars (aka, Kristen Bell) performing her solo from Fame! at the Emmy's.
Come on, people. If you weren't convinced to watch the show after hearing this music, you have to be convinced after seeing a picture of Kristen Bell in ugly 80's sweats. Resistance is unconstitutional!

UPN, Wednesdays, 9/8c.
