For me, Peter Gabriel's "Digging in the Dirt" is the perfect S4 dysfunction song.

Other songs I associate with the show are James McMurtry's "Too Long in the Wasteland" and Robert Plant's "Big Log."

OMG, only just two days ago I discovered Robert Plant's solo albums (I already had an Allison Krauss duet and was wondering why the dudes name was so familiar).

(I already had an Allison Krauss duet and was wondering why the dudes name was so familiar).

Please tell me you knew who he was, though.

I have separate Sam and Dean playlists, and I love them both. Sam's has stuff like the Stones' "Memory Motel" and Diane Birch's "Forgiveness" and Fountains of Wayne's "California Sex Lawyer" and Steely Dan's "My Old School."

Dean's has "House of Wolves" and "Coin-Operated Boy" and Supertramp's "Goodbye Stranger" and Joni Mitchell's "Raised on Robbery" and Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell."

yellow_pomelo's animatrix fusion/AU is fascinating (and gen, so far, though with a hint of preslash) and nicely written.

Yes! Though she ended a bit abruptly with the last one in the timeline. I do hope there's more, or more clarity as to what it meant.

Digging In The Dirt is a good SPN song. I hadn't looked at the lyrics before.

Most of these other songs are new to me.

There's a link upthread to a RoboSam vid to Coin-Operated Boy. It was kinda apropos, even though I didn't like the vid itself.

I do hope there's more, or more clarity as to what it meant.

I KNOW! It was so tragic, omg did he die? was this his salvation?! It just went so abstract and it didn't hit me that the red apple was the hook and would it work IRL and "what did you do to me?" WHAT HAPPENED?!!

I didn't quite get the coin-Sam vid.

Sorry, Amy, I'm a bad fan (I also have the memory of an ... I forget the name.... alzheimer. Seriously.) and I couldn't place Plant. And then went ballistic because an SPN soundtrack fave went all bluegrass on me and I was in heaven.

I didn't quite get the coin-Sam vid.

I got the impression it was supposed to be about some sort of betrayal as a fan and Sam without a soul, but I'm hypersensitive on the topic and might be overreading.

I'll confess to wishing someone would do a good Dean/Cas fanvid set to Crowded House's "Something so Strong." I can just see the scene of Dean emerging from his grave being paired with the line "bring life to frozen ground," hokey as that may be.

Bonus, perfect opportunity to include Chad Everett!

I had a dream that tonights episode was really boring, except for the mildly amusing part where Sam and Dean came into the motel room wearing giant curlers in their hair. I don't know how Dean stretched his hair long enough, but there they were. There had also been some set-up line about how they didn't have to make an effort to look that good.

Ive mentioned before that I'm working my way through SPN S1. I've got one CD left. I have almost no time to watch TV these days and normally, I love things in order. But I'm wondering if I should watch tonight or just wait.

Ive absorbed so much about Sam and his soul and Dean and I'm curious about Castiel. But will I enjoy it if I've missed the intervening five seasons?

I have just finished up season 5 and am starting in on season 6. So much man-pain. Sexy, sexy man-pain.
