I have been noticing techno music on television lately. A few weeks ago I heard Orbital's "Halcyon" on Real Sex 11 for a bit about dominatrices, Aphex Twin's "My Teapot" (or his mix of it, I forget if he did the original or not), and I think Eat Static was used on my local news station for a special about the Oscar's. The same song is also used for a wrestler in the WCW who comes out and starts doing this lame dance to it every time. I just thought it was kind of funny to be hearing all of this music on television. jill

The music producer for "Extra" obviously has an affection for Orbital, Black Dog, and a few other IDM'ers.
