Ted's Song of the Week - 12/4/07

Dice

Finley Quaye

Much More Than Much Love

Here is a song I never would have heard had I not heeded the advice of my friend and fellow contributor Steve. "Dice" came across my radar while I was watching an episode of the NBC spy show Chuck. Specifically, the song made its appearance on the episode "Chuck vs. The Sandworm. Aside from the interesting storyline and multiple cliffhangers, the spy program showcases an excellent soundtrack of both popular and underground artists. However, Chuck has not cornered the market on Finley Quaye's handiwork. "Dice" made a previous appearance on The O.C.

Despite another shameless plug from the Lonely Note, I would have to say that "Dice" has enjoyed a very active life on my recent playlists. A great track for a rainy day mix.

Quick TV Show Plug: 'Chuck'

Here's my quick and cheap TV show plug for the season:

'Chuck', NBC's slacker spy-guy drama debuted last night, and I will say I was pretty entertained. Although it was infused with the requisite network television hokiness in a few spots, overall it was pretty enthralling. The visual affects are cool, and the funny lines dropped by the main characters are effective.

In addition to the comedy, the soundtrack was pretty good. For instance, Beck was featured on last night's episode.

So, if you're bored, and are looking for some dazzling visual effects combined with some tasty music, 'Chuck' may be the show for you.
