Dead Meadow Up On The Wire

Dead Meadow Up On The Wire

The Wire is the best television program ever, etc. But aside from the acting chops of Steve Earle and Method Man (and seasonal remixes of "Way Down In The Hole"), we have little reason to think about modern music when shit goes down on the corner. Until this week, when McNulty wants to know what his boys are listening to. "It's Dead Meadow, dad. Geez." ("What's wrong with the Ramones?") It's not the LA psych-rockers' first cameo in West Baltimore, either. They were featured last season, and the guitarist's uncle is show creator David Simon. Grab two tunes at The Leather Canary. The new album (check the vid) is out Tuesday. Got dem spider bags, red tops. (via Vulture.)

Rawls was a Larry Craig-type on last night's Law & Order (again .. I think he's been on every L&O iteration five times).

Typecasting. http://boards.hbo.com/topic/Wire-Member-Created/Question-Rawls/2000000724&

I had a feeling there was something going on between The Wire and Dead Meadow. I forget what season it was (maybe the 3rd) but there was a scene where a car full of white kids drove up to the corner where Bodie was selling dope and on the radio in their car they were listening to "At Her Open Door". Pretty cool.

PS - Who saw the latest episode on-demand? Omar can fly and Marlow's people can't shoot. LOL.

PSS - I forgot to say that I love the pic of McNulty you guys chose. Flashing the badge. LOL. That was a great scene.
