I can’t help liking the NBC show Chuck. A show about a nerd getting the girl? Sign me up.
After the last episode NBC put up a “playlist” from the show. The music from the show has been really good and I rather like several of the songs from the playlist. In any case, here it is (mostly for my own future reference):
- “Heart Skipped a Beat” The XX
- “Swim” Surfer Blood
