As Seen On TV – Huma
Lately I have been into the BBC America show Skins on Netflix and bulldozed through the first two seasons. This program applies an interesting spin on the teen drama as opposed to American contemporaries on account of better music, more sex, and more drugs. I’ve actually decided to start a drinking game based on every time they light up “splif”. Stir in those elements with clever writing and thoughtful character development, and the product is useful entertainment. I’m told that the 3rd and latest season loses some punch in the progression to a new cast of characters, but I’ve yet to check it out.
Regarding the music, I’ve heard some catchy bands and tracks on the show that I haven’t encountered before, including the recently disbanded New Jersey act, Huma.
Check out some tracks from Huma below as well as the other great music on the Skins’ music website. Like me, you may net some fresh listening material.
Huma – I Can’t Sleep In Silence : not quite a full-on shoegaze, more of just a kneegaze, but slightly haunting nonetheless

awesome! I just finished up the first 2 seasons myself (was stuck at home with the flu)–totally fell in love with this show and its soundtrack. “I Can’t Sleep In Silence” struck a major chord with me and I had to buy it as soon as that episode ended

Good call. That episode was the best of the first two seasons – very well done.
Apparently the UK aired versions of the series has a different yet equally awesome soundtrack.
You can download the entire Huma album for free on their myspace page.
