On Monday, season two of Skins, one of my top five current TV shows (the others being Californication, The L Word, Lost and Dexter) premiered in the UK, and I have to say, I am PUMPED about the upcoming season. We finally get to see what the outcome of the finale of season one is (if I’m speaking in extreme generalities here it’s because I don’t want to spoil anything, since you MUST watch this show), and it continues to be awesome.

If you haven’t already seen the show, season one is now available on DVD at Amazon UK. Or should I say “series” one. Personally, I bought mine on eBay…so there are many ways for you to get your hands on it.

The music in the season two premiere was amazing as usual. You’ll recall that there’s a companion CD to the music from season one, and the trailer for season two (which didn’t really give anything away) featured an instrumental version of Radiohead‘s Nude.

Anyway, the show’s new official site, skinslife.com, is going to be posting a companion music guide to each episode. Each post has embedded samples of the songs featured in the episode, along with a blurb about the song itself and where/why it was used. Episode 1′s is here, and it featured music by Feist, Grizzly Bear, Tunng (!) and Asobi Seksu.

The episode ends with a song that I absolutely adore by Asobi Seksu called Thursday. And the scene that it plays in is PERFECT. It’s just the most absolutely perfect moment to play it.

Asobi Seksu – Thursday
