Some of my posts about Rescue Me[wiki] bring in a lot of traffic, and if you are a fan of the show, then we both know why. Season three has been nuts this far, and we’ve been loving it. I don’t want to give too much away as it has yet to actually start airing in Canada. If that makes you wonder as to how I’m watching the new episodes, then you really need to explore the wonders of the interweb some more.
Some one who passed through a while back asked me about one of the songs in a recent episode. Upon my ventures for info on my post about Jericho, I stopped by the Wiki for Rescue Me, and there they are.
Season 3
- 301: Stereophonics – “Devil” (Language. Sex. Violence. Other?)
- 302: The Twilight Singers – “Bonnie Brae” (“Powder Burns”)
- 303:
- 304: Screaming Blue Messiahs – “Wild Blue Yonder” (“Gun Shy”)
- 305: Brian Jonestown Massacre – “Open Heart Surgery” (“Bravery Repetition & Noise”)
Seasons one and two are there as well. I know that episode 306 is out and is not listed in the entry. The song in that one was “Numb” by Portishead. I did some digging but cannot come up for the song in 303 where Sheila was “cleaning” her son’s room. If it pains you that much to know, check out the RescueMeForum and post something in hopes of finding an answer.
I also found this news which should make all fans rejoice.
Cable channel FX has ordered a fourth season of Emmy-nominated actor Denis Leary’s firefighter drama Rescue Me.
The series will begin production early next year in anticipation of launching in second-quarter 2007. The order was for 13 episodes. [tv.com]
A few of the songs you mentioned (by Stereophonics, Twilight Singers, Brian Jonestown Massacre) are included on the recently released “Rescue Me” soundtrack. It includes music from the first, second, and current (third) seasons – I can’t personally remember what songs are from when, but it’s a great CD. It puts you in a… well, in a Rescue Me sort of mood (and I mean that in a less dysfunctional way than it sounds).
It’s about time they released something, but I find that I have a lot of their music in my own library, if not stuff by artists they play. I think it’s part of the reason I enjoy the show so much. You should see Rebecca dance every time the Von Bondies kick off the opener. :p
