We had a few email with artists pimping their songs for the opening credits. One of them was convinced their song was perfect for the tone of the show, but it was a folksey guitar song.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Heh. What made me wonder was a John Foxx (the original lead singer of Ultravox way back in the 70s) song that I have on a 2003 disc he did called "Drive" that could be kinda perfect, except I think the song's probably moodier than Fox (the network, not the singer - heh again) would like for a show they are pimping the shit out of.
Decidedly not folky, unless you count old school synths as folky.

New age folk.
Yeah, I don't know where I was going with that.

I still think that Loggins & Messina song "Ride, Ride, Ride" would be great for it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Elastica's "Car Song" or Garbage's "Driving Lesson" would be fun.

Gary Numan: Cars. Probably WAY too old, but there are a few spiffed up versions (both by Gary and by others) that might suffice.

It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.
Got an interview with Greg Yaitanes up here. Was having format problems, so there may be some stuff that needs fixing tomorrow. When I'm awake. As opposed to now when I'm collapsing.

Great interview, Jackal! I'm practically salivating for the premiere now.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Always thought it should be Steve Taylor's "Drive, He Said" in which the devil rides along on a road trip.

The first few minutes of Driving South by The Stone Roses. Oh so good for TV credits.
