"We Had A Horrible Winter At The Monastery Because Of Your Heating System"
Only David Chase can make a ten year old Moby song relevant.
Sopranos caught my attention as a purveyor of novel soundtrack songs when I heard Elvis Costello's "Complicated Shadows" a few seasons back. Unlike The O.C. or your favorite future CW dramedy, the tunes are chosen with the plot in mind, not to break new artists. So here, via hbo.com, is what you heard in the last episode.
Tom Petty - "American Girl"For your portal digital music device:
Carmela plays CD on boombox for Tony.Mike Finnegan - "Just A Little Bit"
Tony gets off an elevator and heads to the bar. He has a conversation with the bartender.Deep Purple - "Smoke On The Water"
Carmela plays song on boombox for Tony.Prodigy - "Spitfire"
Chris talks to Ahmed and Muhammed at the Bada Bing.Dave "Babey" Cortez - "The Happy Organ"
Some other business people ask Tony to join him for dinner.Jimmy Smith - "There Will Never Be Another You"
Tony and businessmen talk. Tony phones home and leaves the restaurant.Capris - "There's A Moon Out Tonight"
Playing on boombox with Tony and Carmela.Moby - "When It's Cold I'd Like To Die"
Carmela spends time with Tony.
Moby - "When It's Cold I'd Like to Die" (MP3 Link Expired)
And it is damn cold in springtime Manhattan today. I don't want to die so much as remember to wear gloves in the morning.
We're pulling for ya Kevin Finnerty! What do you think of Season 6 so far?

I really thank the Sopranos for redescovering me "World Destruction" by Afrika Bambaataa & P.I.L.
Who choses the tunes???

Edie Falco's acting in that last episode was some of the best acting I've ever seen by anyone ever. I think this season has been great, but they better get Tony out of that hospital bed real quick.

This week's episode was on par with the last ep of Six Feet Under. Incredible.

I am loving the Sopranos this season, thankfully. I was scared, but they seem as good as ever.
Also - Big Love to me seems to be filling a little of that Six Feet Under void with the weird family dramedy thing going on. Is it the same for anyone else?

'Big Love' does a good job of filling a 'Six Feet Under' void with lots of Bill Paxton's bare ass.

please "bear" with us. I read somewhere that bears are symbolic of tony soprano himself. And that the elevator was out of order, could represent that tony himself was "out of order." episode 3 looks tight.

that kevin finnerty jazz was total snoozeville.

What about "Living on a Thin Line" by The Kinks. A girl from the Bada Bing was dancing to it (maybe season 4). Marking the best song ever danced to by a stripper.

Nice to see James/Tony as an everyday businessman, stepping out of his Tony character. Good call having Tony laid up in a coma for a while but get to the action already. After several seasons of churn and a 2-year wait, I say enough with the set-up, get to the action already.

I hate the new season but I heard The Shins New Slang on the Sopranos a few seasons ago.
I first heard New Slang on Scrubs. When Tony and Carmela visit their daughter at Columbia (the episode where Meadow says Billy Budd is gay) New Slang plays faintly in the background. The night I saw that episode I downloaded New Slang and became a lifelong Shins fan.
Yes, the Scrubs episode and the Sopranos episode came before Garden State.

The same Moby song also appeared in Heat, also a Mafia kind of dealy thing movie thing... thing.

It wasn't the same one...Heat featured "God moving over the face..."

Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase track down the creepy Material and William S. Burroughs song "seven souls" from the crazy montage in the season premiere. I can't find it anywhere. Don't let me down, stereogum.
Score = 0
Would also love to get hold of the William S. Burroughs piece. I found the original but apparently they used a remix for the series, and haven't been able to find it anywhere.

I was able to pull that Seven Souls song from Limewire.

I believe that William S. Burroughs song was from "Spare Ass Annie" which is a kickass remix album by Michael Franti from Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy (and Spearhead). The whole album is just old Burroughs routines set to hip hop beats and it's fucking rad. You can find it on Amazon.

Big Love stinks. It's a poor representation of a multi-partner family, kooky religious backdrop aside. It's just another way to potray women always at each others' throats and the man benefitting from that scenario. Blatantly HBO's weakest production yet.

Stoked on Sopranos, too. Who pops Uncle Junior? How 'bout that Meadow in those boy shorts!
