I have almost completely exorcised television from my daily diet. Aside from The Daily Show, That 70s Show reruns, and assorted documentary and news programs, I watch only one show: The Gilmore Girls. It's a wonderfully written show — witty and sarcastic, but surprisingly free of cynicism. I'm also drawn to the show for personal reasons, most notably the strange resemblances between the Gilmores and the family that I married into. Don't believe me?
With Sam Phillips as its musical supervisor, The Gilmore Girls has always had impeachable music cred, and now it's on display in a fantastic soundtrack album. I listened to it for the first time last night and am still reeling. The song of the moment, "It's Alright, Baby" by Komeda, is Euro-retro-pop at its most infectious. Just a fantastic song.
