Her Name Was Veronica

December 14, 2005 09:32 AM

Spoon's Britt Daniels is going to be performing on one of my new favorite TV shows, Veronica Mars. In the show, Veronica frequently hangs out at a local karaoke bar, where indie rock stars occassionally stop in. For this episode, Britt will be playing Elvis Costello's "Veronica," of course. You'll probably see a little more about Spoon on this site once I get my list done. Gimme Fiction is a no-brainer for the top 10.

A lot has been made about this show filling the void left after Buffy the Vampire Slayer went off the air. I'm glad to see that the producers of Veronica seem to be fully embracing those connections by having guest appearances by both Joss Wheadon and Alyson Hannigan this season, as well as Charisma Carpenter being a regular on the show. In some ways, things look almost too copied - replacing The Bronze with a karaoke bar, for example - but it still works. If you haven't see the show, it's in it 2nd season on UPN. I'd be watching a few episodes this week if my DVR hadn't crapped out.

Now playing: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl
