Admit it. You watch TV. Even if it’s online, you know you’ve caught clips of the shows everyone’s talking about. Whether you tuned into the Emmys, caught season premieres of “The Office” or “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” or Googled Kanye’s little outburst at the VMAs, fall is a busy time for the small screen.
In honor of the couch potato, we’re rounding up the best of television in this installment of Six Degrees. This feature is inspired by none other than Mr. Kevin Bacon. You know the game–it’s a small world and we’re all somehow related. This theory applies to the music scene as well, no matter what you listen to, where you hang or who you know. We’re just showing you the connections.
6. The Mighty Boosh kick things off because 1). They have their own television show and 2). They’re awesome. See Exhibit A:
5. Alison Mosshart of The Kills made an appearance on the 2008 BBC documentary “The Mighty Boosh: A Journey Through Time and Space.” But there’s another show she can’t get enough of.
4. The Kills are labelmates with Mystery Jets on the London-based Rough Trade. They dig “Entourage.”
3. Though Stars is a proudly Canadian group, they share some British blood with The Kills. Lead singer Torquil Campbell was born in England and is also an actor, most notably appearing on “Sex and The City” and “Law & Order.” C’mon. You know we couldn’t get through a TV post without mentioning “Sex and The City.”
2. Great Northern has played the SXSW circuit alongside Stars, but their biggest exposure has probably been on the small screen. Their song “Driveway” was featured in the fifth season of “Grey’s Anatomy.”
1. Guess who else has been heard playing in the background of “Grey’s Anatomy“? Mike Doughty. He’s planning an international acting takeover.
