Repost: Officially addicted to The Wire

Ok so we’ve been an official blog for almost a year now and when we were a tiny little thing we were barely getting 10 views per post. Now most of you haven’t seen these posts judging on the statistics so every now and then we’re going to put up some things we really want  you to hear.

OK so I just spent Easter Weekend watching Season 1 of The Wire from back to back and I’m straight up addicted, regardless of whether I’m slightly lost at times. It’s going to be very anti-social weekend as Seasons 2,3,4 and 5 are almost complete!

Now the show doesn’t rely too heavily on a score or soundtrack which I prefer but every now and then they choose tracks that fit perfectly with the gritty and unforgiving Baltimore scene.

The last episode of Season 1 ends with a track by an old American singer named Jesse Winchester and after a lot of digging I found it for you.

  2. It is f*@king mazing. Don’t know why I didn’t trust everyone and go buy the box set. Good ‘ole Auntie giving it to us ad free to really get your teeth into it.

    This is my favourite song off the series though. What’s the rest of the soundtrack like?
