I have nothing this week, except for this, which I haven't been able to get out of my head. It's an old classic, but man I love it. It's slow, but just so perfect.

Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms. Loved them when I was younger, but an episode of West Wing with this song in it got it stuck in my head again.

Bonus Romeo and Juliet...

The moment you said Brothers in Arms my mind definitely went to the end of ... was it S3? I think so.

Romeo and Juliet is just one of my favorite songs ever, period.

Close. Season 2 finale episode. With the rain, and he's going to that press conference. Such a badass scene. One of the better things I've ever seen on television.

Not spoiling because I know thenewgreen got hooked on West Wing recently. :)

Have you seen the ending to S4, with Massive Attack playing in the background for ten minutes? kleinbl00 linked it in the thread about best uses of music in movies/tv a few months ago, back when I was only in the middle of season two, and I raced through the next thirty episodes to get to it -- worth it.

Yeah, I've seen all seasons before, going back through them again now, just started S4 yesterday so I'll be there soon. :)
