Rewatching "The Bottle Job" I again got curious about the Irish punk song. I found this quote from producer Amy Berg...

In the script, Chris Downey and I indicated our desire for a Pogues-slash-Flogging Molly type tune. Because purchasing source music (prerecorded songs from established artists) isn't in our budget, we left the task in the very capable hands of our talented composer Joe LoDuca. "Can't Go Home Again" is the song he created for us. At the moment, it's not available anywhere. Will let you know if/when that changes.

(I skipped hundreds of posts to get here so apologies if this has already been posted)

I wasn't quite sure if that was a time slot or a guest star ref. Probably the both.

Yeah, I was amused. And again wondering about the weird cross-promotion.

It's so weird. I can't believe Amy Berg is leaving Leverage.

But then she's leaving Leverage for Eureka. So she's going from John to Colin. It's the weirdest little staying in ita's circle-of-Montreal thing.

I think Eureka needs her more. John posted about her so much it'll be strange.

Joe LoDuca. "Can't Go Home Again" is the song he created for us. At the moment, it's not available anywhere. Will let you know if/when that changes.

Ah, interesting. I'd gone looking for that as well.

Hunh. I'd just assumed it was the Dropkick Murphys or somesuch.

Aw! John Rogers sent Steve Franks a bottle of whiskey last year "for being way more awesome than The Mentalist." Hence the shout-out. Also, they're fans anyway.

What was the Leverage shoutout? I was only halfway watching the show.

Jeri Ryan's characters should always be introduced by having them simply walk into the middle of things and take over.

Shawn explains that Gus wants to get home to watch the Leverage season finale.

Man, if I never saw Psych and The Mentalist in the same sentence again, ever.

Except maybe to compare and contrast demented lead characters who make themselves hard to like.

Just watching Burn Notice. Fun ep, but what the hell happened to John Mahoney?

Hmmmmm. I just checked imdb, and it says he turns 70 this June. Those shots of him in Burn Notice make it look like a hard 70 (or at least a hard 15 or however many it's been since Frasier).
