We only found the incidental-music chronicling at The Music Of Veronica Mars recently, but it’s already proven to be an invaluable resource–for example, the site tipped us off to the fact that the band pumping out “Sweet Caroline” and “Cherry, Cherry” on last night’s edge-of-the-couch episode was the Austin-based outfit the Diamond Smugglers. Our only quibble with the site? It doesn’t get into the show’s constant music-referencing deep enough for our tastes. For example, we noticed the convergence of the Touch and Go shirt worn by the Diamond Smugglers’ drummer and the Black Heart Procession poster on one of Hearst College’s dorm-room walls. Come on, you guys! After all, what else is the blog world good for if not tiny morsels of trivia that pull us even deeper into Veronica Mars‘ every frame? Even if it does overuse crummy Fatboy Slim songs in order to make a point now and then?

Funny thing about it: last night’s episode was by far the best one of the season. Good timing guys, we need to reward Mars when she does well.
Maybe I’m being a fanboy, but after they played Regina Spektor’s “Fidelity” at the end of one of the episodes the video and song has been everywhere.
last night’s episode was great.
They didn’t find some excuse to bump off Logan, if they did it would be pretty close to perfect.
…crummy Fatboy Slim songs that are referred to by a character, who is a dance dj, as “techno.”
This whole rapist storyline was a disappointment — and convoluted (even by VM standards). That last scene with Logan was awesome though.
no way! i have a very deep affection for logan. come on, he committed a crime to protect his lady’s honor!
i was super ‘meh’ on the storyline at first, especially the way it was arcing, but i thought it panned out just fine. they probably could have done more were they not under the gone to resolve it in 8 episodes. considering the levels they packed into that storyline in such a condensed period of time, i think it all worked out incredibly well.
I don’t watch the show, but I am totally tickled (yes, tickled!) that the Diamond Smugglers were on. They’re totally one of Austin’s best-kept secrets, I tell ya. Well, not anymore!
Logan was great at the end of the episode, but he’s been all about emo weeping for most of the show this season.
I was iffy on the rape storyline, but I think it was mostly because the buzzcut hairpieces they used made everyone look like they had fuzzy tennis balls on their head.
