Ah, Josh Schwartz. Love him or hate him, you’ve got to admit, he’s got pretty good taste in music. So when Chuck, the fluffy, somewhat vapid, NBC show (executive produced by – you got it- Josh Schwartz) came on the air late 2007, I was expecting some chuckles and a bunch semi-indie music to accompany the over-dramatic montages that dutifully would unspool by episode end. Well, it’s two years later, and I’ve gotten a whole lot more than just chuckles from my good old Nerd Herd super spy Chuck. I actually like the show. And while it’s not exactly Twin Peaks, and the status-quo never seems to change all that much, I keep coming back for more. While I’m not exactly looking forward to the whole 'Young X-men' movie Rothman has planned at Fox, and I’d much rather Schwartz tried to tackle an onscreen Runaways, I guess it could’ve been in worse hands.
Oh, and the music is pretty damn good too.
I’ve linked a few of my favorites below.
The always great Bon Iver:
Frightened Rabbit (whom they've used several times):
And the Elliot Smith-esq Blitzen Trapper:
