The Funk: The latest O.C. mix

Posted by Dan November 20th, 2006 at 09:28am In The Funk

Sounds like The O.C. is in its death throes. 

First, they get rid of Mischa Barton and her jutting hip bones.  Now, I hear that the guy from UVA is fighting in a cage.  Seems like there's some repeated shark-jumping going on (or has it always been this ridiculous?).

The OC: Everyone seems to like curly-haired one, but I prefer UVA boy.

I guess it's dumb of me to mourn a show that I never watched to begin with, but I do appreciate the lovely things they've done with music.

In fact, the newest OC Mix has an interesting twist.  It's all indie bands doing indie covers.  Take a listen here.

One of my personal favorites, Mates of State, is doing the "California" song.  Modest Mouse's "Float On" is being covered by some band I've never heard of.  Rogue Wave is covering "Debaser" by The Pixies!

    Mates of State! Awesome! Some of those are punk covers, though, not indie, like “Pretty Vacant.” Which is just as awesome. :D

    Tragically, I can’t listen to any of them, because the website is bitching out on me. And I was so psyched for the Mates of State, too…

    How old is that promo photo? Half the people in it are dead. Or “on a yacht.”

    I have no idea. See 3rd paragraph.
