Spinning in Stars Hollow

This week I’ve added 3 songs to the season 1 Spinning In Stars Hollow playlist:

• “Enjoy the Silence” by Nada Surf | Buy music from Nada Surf
  • For fans of Grandaddy.
  • Here’s the rare promotional video of Depeche Mode performing “Enjoy the Silence” filmed by French TV in 1990 atop the World Trade Center:
    
  • We will hear from Nada Surf in both Season 4 episode 19 and season 6 episode 8.
• “Our House” by Madness | Purchase music from Madness
  • For fans of Billy Bragg and Elvis Costello.
  • We will hear a song from Madness in season 2 episode 11.
• “Idioteque” by Radiohead | Buy music from Radiohead
  • For fans of Beck, this suggestion is partially based off Madeline’s inclusion of two tracks from 2000 on her party playlist; the album this song comes (Kid A) from came out the same year.

Please, if you like what you hear, support these artists and buy their music.
