Young Marble Giants - This Way

I didn’t want to get up after watching tonight’s Curb Your Enthusiasm premiere, so I sat through the debut of Bored To Death, a show about Jason Schwartzman getting dumped for drinking too much white wine and consequently rebounding by becoming a private detective on Craigslist. Instead of real score, they just used four Young Marble Giants song, which makes sense in a hip, tense and quirky way, but I’m annoyed to hear YMG as Brooklyn muzak. But then again, it short-circuits the indie soundtrack breadcrumb trail left by Mark Mothersbaugh by going straight for the postpunk obscuro. It is what it’s become.
