TheWire

I've just watched episode 3 of the Wire on BBC2, A version of "Dirty old Town" was playing on McNulty's radio. Any ideas who was singing? It sounded American.

More music: while the rest of the detail is at the low-rises and Prez is stuck doing a crossword puzzle, Jimmy is going over his notes while listening to The Pogues' "Dirty Old Town." Get ready to hear a lot from Jimmy's favorite band over the course of the series.

Thanks legend.isgod, I feel quite embarassed not to have recognised Shane's dulcit tones, I thought it was an American voice that I heard! By the way did I hear that two of the detectives were called Pogue and Mahone?
