How To Make It In America - The Music

I've been watching "How To Make It In America" ever since Season 1 Episode 1 aired on HBO.  It's one of the few shows that accurately (for me, anyways) captures the spirit and energy of "youthful" New York City.  Even though the show has recently taken a turn that I'm not down with, I've always admired its ability to be 2 beats ahead of me in terms of  featured music whereas a show like "Glee" is about 2 beats behind.  Here are a couple of electronic tracks which introduced the closing credits of recent episodes:

M83 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDyonn3mQj8
Washed Out - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0HjvLgzMOM

Even though I've always liked M83's singles, the walls upon walls of sound make listening to entire albums of his exhausting.

The Soundtrack

These two albums are quickly shaping up to comprise the soundtrack for this trip:

It's a strange combo, if you think about it.
