Death Cab for Cutie in CSI tonight. Interesting, how popular culture has shifted from valuing the popular to valuing the unknown. Garden State launched the Shins from fairly successful but little known to much better known, and somewhat more succesful. The people who chose the music for Grey's Anatomy are obsessed with Tegan and Sara. Apparently the OC can launch indie bands (watch out Stars). Is this where I saw "I liked unknown music before it was popular?" Is that too complicated a concept? The fact is, when I went to England (remember, where the Beatles were popular for some years before crossing the pond) in 1999, I went in to music stores and said "Give me something awesome that I won't find in the US" or something to that effect. I came away with Stereophonics (they were popular here for about a second in 2000, they also recently showed up in some movie or tv show i saw recently), which was not quite what i was looking for, but close.
Anyway, it fascinates me.
