Theme Tune Investigations
A long time ago (well, 2003), the Dandy Warhols released ‘We Used To Be Friends’ and we hadn’t thought of it lately at all, except for it being the theme tune to Veronica Mars. With the assistance of Guest Deputy Sheriff Charlie Harding of the podcast Switched On Pop, we investigate the several versions of the song, stuffing a manila folder with grunge guitars, scratchy synths, bravado and rather unusual syntax. Find Charlie’s Switched On Pop podcast and book at switchedonpop.com. Listen to all the versions of the song, see more about this episode, and read the transcript, at the podcast’s official site: VMIpod.com/themetune. This episode was edited and mixed by Helen Zaltzman; the non-Dandy Warhols music is by Martin Austwick and Jenny Owen Youngs; the logo is by Hrishikesh Hirway; the show is distributed by PRX.org. Find the show @VMIpod on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, and tell us which version of ‘We Used To Be Friends’ you would prefer to listen to on a loop for all eternity. We’ll be back next week with Season 2 episode 1!
