Strong TV Songs: HBO Edition

<p>The Wildlings are south of the wall, the robots are rising up, Seventh Kavalry's on the move, and two percent of the world's population has vanished. Time for another edition of Strong TV Songs!</p> <p>This time around the focus is on HBO, a network that has defined much of the broader TV landscape over the past couple of decades. So let's dig into a bunch of great music from a bunch of good shows, with themes for Dothraki raiders, Alethiometers, robot farmgirls, nuns with guns, monstrous moguls, and lost souls.</p> <p>Special thanks to the key of C minor for making this episode possible.</p> <p><strong>DISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODE:</strong></p> <ul> <li>“Woke Up This Morning” by Alabama 3 from <em>Exile on Coldharbour Lane</em>, 1997</li> <li>“Six Feet Under” by Thomas Newman, 2001</li> <li>“Deadwood” by David Schwartz, 2004</li> <li>“Way Down In The Hole” by Tom Waits from <em>Franks Wild Years</em>, 1987.
