 On a happier note, I don't think anyone has mentioned HBO's new series The
 Sopranos.  Besides being a very well written show about a subject (a mob
 family) that I though was exhausted, it also has an incredible soundtrack.
 The opening sequence uses A3's "Woke Up This Morning" and during the first
 three weeks viewers have heard Nick Lowe's "The Beast In Me", Booker T and
 the MGs songs, and numerous other tunes which should be of interest to
 P2ers.

 Also, thanks to Joe Gracey for that incredible post, writing like that is
 the reason I lurk here.

Um, what Shannon said, %101. And hey Shannon, you're not lurking if you're
posting. gSo why lurk?

 FWIW, ABC just halted production on "Cupid".
 
 That stinks, I only watch a few shows regularly and that happens to be 
one
 of them.  Jeremy Piven and the show deserve better.

I have to second the recommendation of this show, for its music as well as 
the show itself.  It's really good.  Nancy Marchand is great in it, as is 
Edie Falco, who has been on Homicide a lot (another show with a very 
talented music supervisor).

 I got cable just in time to catch the opening 3 episodes and it is my show
 of the year for plot and music.  and I am italian, so it is resonating
 great.  BIG EXTRA -- has anyone mentioned Little Steven's role -- he is
 perfect.


I agree, Little Sugar Miami Steven Van Zandt is damn near the best thing in a
show full of great actors.

And the music IS fantastic!
