So then, who watched Love Monkey on CBS last night?  I thought it was pretty
swell, but that's outside-looking-in.  I understand some in the biz have
been flaming it for the liberties it took with "music biz" reality.  C'mon,
it's TV.  Be glad there's a network show on at ALL about the music biz.

I don't recall all the music snippets, but there were some choice artists
burbling in the soundtrack (Nic Harcourt is a consultant/exec producer):
Andy Stochansky, Rosenbergs, Badly Drawn Boy most notably.  And when I say
"burbling in the soundtrack," it was stuff that was *really* background
music, either diegetic as music the characters have on in the background, or
scene-change underscoring kinda stuff.  I look forward to the CBS website
getting updated with featured song info for stuff I may have missed (or not
known).

And it looks like they're pushing to make a big star of Teddy Geiger,
featured as budding music star "Wayne," who certainly is cute in that
pretty-boy kinda way, but I didn't get enough of a sense of him as a
musician to know if there's much "there" there.
