rOCk and roll

Whatever else you think of the OC, you've got to admire the way they champion new music.



The Killers, Beck and Modest Mouse have all appeared on the show, and the soundtrack regularly features relatively unknown UK bands.



The show even knows that its music is a little bit, shall we say, angsty. In one recent episode, Seth realises: "I listen to the same music as Marissa Cooper? I think I have to kill myself."



All of this is down to one person - Alexandra Patsavas - who's employed by the programme specifically to oversee the music. "[It was] always intended that music be a character on the show," she tells IGN.com in a new interview.



Check it out, bitch.
