have had their musical tastes revealed at one time or another.

The Bangles, XTC, The Go-Go's, David Bowie, Metallica, U2, and Brian Eno,
and her old bedroom at her parents' home has
Duran Duran posters on the walls.

Lane is a music enthusiast, and her band,
Hep Alien (which is an anagram of producer Helen Pai's name),
plays rock with different influences,
and Sebastian Bach, formerly of Skid Row, plays Gil, the band's guitarist.

In 2002, a soundtrack to the show was released
by Rhino Records, entitled
Our Little Corner of the World: Music from Gilmore Girls.
