I'm pimping Chuck yet again. It's awesome and totally worth your time. If you've never seen it, watch it this Monday at 8/7c on NBC. It's the second to last episode of the season (and potentially of the series). So if you're a Nielsen family, tune in and help to convince the network to pick it up for the fall season. I'd be really happy :D And if you're not, you should be watching anyway because it's that good. (Incidentally, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother and House will all be repeats, so you have zero excuses not to be watching Chuck.) Awesome.

So on to the music. My friend sent me a link to a music blog the other day and after browsing the archives for a bit I found Erik Hassle. It's fairly recent stuff and here's why I like it. "Hurtful" is the kind of pop song that makes you want to turn up the speakers until your whole house is jumping and then sing along as loudly as you can, no matter how tone deaf you may be. It's like all those time you blasted "Since U Been Gone" from your car stereo. Except that Hassle isn't so much Kelly Clarkson as an awkward looking, skinny and really white kid from Sweden. If you want proof of that check out the smexy video to "Hurtful" here. That's also the spot where you can get an mp3 of the song (and two other tracks) for your computah.

Hope you like the track and don't forget to watch Chuck!!
