Two for Tuesday | The Wire
Posted in two for tuesday on April 26th, 2011 by Kris.GI know I’m a couple years behind but I finally finished watching The Wire. About a month ago I watched seasons 1 and 2. Now this past week, I just marathon-watched seasons 3-5. Damn it’s such a good show. Dare I say the best I have ever seen. I mean, well, of course I loved it. It is #85 on the list.
Anyway, I’m still trying to cope with life without anymore episodes of The Wire to watch. So today to honor its magnificence, I chose two songs from the show to post. The first is the Tom Waits version of the opening theme song, “Way Down In The Hole,” and the other is the song that was sung by the officers at the wakes in the bar for fallen officers. This song is “The Body of an American” by The Pogues – some good ol’ Irish folk.
