Bob Pollard Who?
I do not watch this show and I have no idea what it is about. Honestly. But when I heard the opening riff of I Am a Scientist coming from the other room, I quickly ran to see where it was coming from. Low and behold, Guided By Voices was playing in the background of "Samantha Who?"
It's become very obvious that the twenty and thirty-somethings that grew up listening to all this indie rock are now the music supervisors of today's network television shows. Weird to think that when this song was released, Christina Applegate was still Kelly Bundy.

good writing!
I'm a huge fan of Samatha Who, but that's probably because I woke up this fall to realize I had no clue who I was and decided to figure that out...just minus the retrograde amnesia. My jaw also dropped when that song came on because I remembered listening to that cassette tape in junior high and learning I really liked Guided by Voices, but every other girl liked hanson, nsync, and 98 degrees. Actually, the exact thought that ran through my mind was who can I call that would appreciate this, but I couldn't think of anyone. But now I know.
TMI, turn the city.
