A few good songs have crossed my path in the last few days: “Road To Home” by Girl In A Coma, “The Gold We’re Digging” by Parts and Labor and “2080” by YeaSayer (thanks Joe). I’m also digging Patti Smith‘s cover of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and Chris Cornell‘s cover of “Billie Jean”. Also: the mashup of The Ramones‘ “I Wanna Be Sedated” with Avril Lavigne‘s “Girlfriend”. It’s like listening to old bubblegum.

My thoughts on the Sopranos finale: I liked it. I like it even more now that I’ve thought about it. I’ve put the rest of my thoughts after the jump; if you haven’t watched the episode, then DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK. There are spoilers yonder.

So, I think Tony’s dead. Something I read tonight makes sense: several episodes ago, when Tony and Bobby were fishing and talking about death, they said “You probably don’t even hear it coming, it just goes black.” Maybe that was the foreshadowing of Tony’s death, or maybe it was about the series itself…maybe there’s no difference between the two. David Chase wrapped the series up exactly the way it it was meant to be wrapped up…completely fucking unwrapped.

And you’ve gotta hand it to him…love it or hate it, everyone’s talking about the finale.
