Good Times for "The Office"
Remember that post I wrote last month about music on "The Office?" Remember how it mysteriously disappeared?That's because I rewrote it as a story for The New York Times!
If you go here, you can read my story in all its glory.
Awesome!

that kicks so much ass.
i just have to say it. i feel bad saying it, i loved the article, but still.
i believe that Buffy the Vampire Slayer actually pioneered (and, in my opinion, mastered) the whole tapping an obscure band. if you iTunes search "buffy", you'll see what i mean.
other than that, you are fabulous.
Totally, Suzy. And really, you could even argue Melrose Place as an earlier trendsetter. I remember buying that soundtrack because it had the Letters to Cleo song on it.
But for the purposes of the story, I felt like "The O.C." was the most representative series for the trend of choosing hip music. It was a show that was sort of defined by Seth Cohen's musical taste. Even when I'd never seen an episode, I knew it was the show where the guy dug Death Cab. Plus, like "Scrubs," it was still on the air when the story ran, which I felt helped show that the trend was still happening.
