The picture is not the greatest thing but it is pretty great in and of itself. (The Greatest Thing In The World, EVER!)

I was watching Fargo the other night. I have started watching the TV series, and I don't even really know why I started watching it. Because Billy Bob Thornton was in it? Because I said it was Billy Bob Thornton and Sweetie said it wasn't and I was right? It could be anything, really, the point being, I've started watching it, and the episode I kind of watched the other night when I couldn't get to sleep was Episode 2.

The episode began with this really cool sort of drum solo, a low driving beat kind of thing while these two hit men (I think they were hit men, I haven't finished the episode yet, but they're definitely bad guys of some kind) drove along.

Today, I tried to find out what the song was, and couldn't. I finally got to a Reddit thread (going on Reddit always makes me feel sort of skeevy, like I'm trying to hang out with 14-year-olds or about to falsely accuse someone of being the Boston Bomber), where they linked to a story about the guy who wrote the drum solo; that story said that drum solo was part of the score and not released yet, but in the comments

...look, eventually I will get to the point, okay?...

in the comments someone asked if the composer had been inspired by two songs, one of which was Let There Be Drums, so I went and Youtubed it*

*everything is a verb if you want it to be. That's your life lesson for today. And for last Thursday.

and found the song:



And I listened to it about 14 times yesterday and put it on the list of songs I might buy using the gift card Sweetie got me as part of my anniversary present; the gift card is to iTunes and I have been charged with making a road trip playlist because we are going on a road trip to Milwaukee which is the other part of my anniversary present.

(Did I mention yesterday was my anniversary? It is. That's also a Greatest Thing In The World, EVER!)
