I've been an on-the-fence fan of "Girls" -- and "Veep," for that matter -- since they debuted a few months ago. But after having dinner with my friend Christopher recently and hearing how it's the music that sucks him into Lena Dunham's weekly post-college solipsism festival, I decided to give it another chance. While I agree that viewing it through this new prism helped -- you're gonna love this Brooklyn duo's "Same Mistakes," and Dunham's use of Robyn's "Dancing on My Own" gave me goosebumps -- I think actually watching the episodes in order helped a lot, too. (Oops!)

I'm on the fence about the show, Girls, too. My main problem with the show is that I dislike the lead character so much. I can't stand selfish brats and that's all that comes across to me. I do enjoy the music in the show, though. And that scene with "Dancing On My Own" was pretty good.
