I thought he did a really good job on The Wire.  This guy is a very versatile artist.  And, I love the fact that they used one of his songs as the theme song for the final season.

Hi ModernGem, it's actually the magnificent Tom Waits' song, although Steve does a great version of it. You probably knew this already, just want to make sure ole Tom gets the props he deserve!

We don't have a cure for cancer but we've got 16 million different versions of the Lord of the Rings. What. The. Fuck.

Hi,

Great clip.I don't watch much T.V.apart from Rugby Union.

I will have to buy some DVD's of The Wire to catch Steve.Is he in it from series1?

I don't want to bother with the complete  series if he is not in it.

Hope someone can help me out with this.

Cheers.

 Llannige,  here's Steve's Total  involvement in S1 of  "The Wire."

I have to say The Wire is a fantastic show i have 3 complete series and will be getting the other 2.  I only watched it because Steve was in it. That's how i became a fan of the show. steve was 3 esp of S1.

Steve wasnt in series 2&3 and was in one esp of S4 and 4 esps of S5. he couldnt fit more filming in due to music / radio commitments.  however you do get Steve popping up. ie  when someone is going to new york  they say " they must be something happening, it's just to big a town." ("NYC") or when Prez switches on the radio it's a Steve song playing  (??)  so he is never far away .

However,  the end of series 2 did have some Steve involvement.  beware this may spoil the story line .

Hi barrowlands.

Thanks for the Top downloads,it must have taken you quite a while to put that lot together.

You have convinced me to investigate the Wire further.I will now have a look at e-bay and various outlets to get my hands on some DVD's, starting from Series 1.

Thanks again for all the interesting  stuff,which I,m slowly working my way through.
