Deadwood Music

Update: David Schwartz is the genius behind the Deadwood theme. You may already know him by this number if, like me, you knew it as a cue to leave the room as your mother grabbed a cup of decaf and you wandered off to somewhere else in the house, contemplating the possibility that the show actually was funny [conclusion: yes, it really is; just not to an 11-yr old].

Download the theme for Deadwood right here, from his very own webspace. Now I just wish Mike Post would open up webspace and offer all his classics [yes, like the bleeps and bloops from Doogie].

Funny thing is, I've had this MP3 all along. I discovered it when looking for this beauty, which in all its 18 seconds of glory, just may be the shortest but most smile-inducing little piece of instrumental out there.

Not-so-Deadwood

In doing research for a television presentation, I stumbled across this. I had no idea that this was a possibility! I fear, as often goes with smallscreen-to-bigscreen [or vice-versa, as in my revelation below] films, that it can't be nearly as good unless it uses the original cast.

Although M*A*S*H the film with Alan Alda would have been approximately thirty-seven times better than the one with Sutherland's Hawkeye, and that's saying a lot, so....

I don't know, perhaps they really can find a more lovable and sailor-mouthed gangster than Swearin' Swearengen and make something as good as [but probably not better than] the brilliant but short-lived series. Still.. I have my many doubts.

No music here for now, sorry, but I'll try to find the Deadwood theme song somewheres, cause it actually is pretty dern good.

Edit: it's here.
