Who did that version of "Walk on Gilded Splinters"? I was thinking maybe Steve Earle since he was hanging around for the finale, but don't find it at Allmusic. The likeliest candidate I see there is Duane Allman, does anyone know if that's correct?

ps don't buy the mass-market paperback of Homicide, the printing runs too close to the binding (like a lot of mass-markets). I'm going to shell out $15 for the new trade paperback tonight.

am... not flabbergasted as to its quality, but certainly taken back... uncompromising is often an ill-judged way to describe a tv show but wd stake tht it fits here... the attention to, observance of, the formalities of policing and the legal requirements is stunning
a lot of the acting is stunning (w.poss exception of mcnulty who sometimes sounds a bit cereal-box american)
it is VERY good when for some reason I wasn't sure it would be

he is from sheffield!
i just got into it in the autumn, am up to end of s02. i sort of remember some noise when it came out but at that point i was dubious too, not sure why, probabyl similar reasons to tracey hand. david simon on the commentary is very... uh, high-minded, and i feel easier with, say, 'the shield'.
but mind is now blown and i join the chorus saying it's the best thing ever. i think watching one a week would be a difficult memory test -- seeing it on dvd quite quickly probably makes it 'easier'.

oh, here, i knew i read this somewhere - from the new york times.."Wherever I go the real hard-core dudes come up to me and confide in me," said Mr. Elba, who over the years has been approached by dozens of drug dealers identifying with Stringer. "I almost feel guilty turning around and saying: 'Hello, mate. My name's Idris and I'm from London.'" Mr. Elba burst into an exaggerated version of his cockney accent. "I don't want to break the illusion."

From MTV news:http://www.mtv.com/bands/m/mixtape_monday/092704/
Meeting Idris Elba is a straight bug-out. He's been in videos by Fat Joe and most recently Angie Stone, but he's best known as kingpin Russell "Stringer" Bell on HBO's "The Wire." So imagine how ill it is to holla at him for the first time and discover that he has a thick British accent and he's a DJ. "I've been collecting records since I was like 10," said Elba, who grew up in London. The actor, whose DJ name is Big Dris, began spinning around the age of 14. "I started out with my uncle," he remembered. "He had a sound system called Sound International back in London. He basically did weddings. I was the speaker boy. ... By the time I was 15, me and my men from around the way started our own little sound that was called the Social Affair Sound [and] we started doing local parties." Dris, who began putting it down behind the turntables in clubs by the time he was 19, has been living part-time in NYC for the last six years and actually started earning his living by spinning in the East Village and Alphabet City before landing a guest appearance on "Law and Order" in 2001. His stint on "The Wire" began in 2002. Dris said things are going to get ugly this season for his character, but in real life, Elba is straight. He's already put out a series of street CDs called Foot Fetish, and he's linking up with other DJs to put out collaborations. "I consider myself a blend DJ more than anything," he said. "Like my mixtapes, the way I want to see them grow, I basically want to see if I can get my mixtapes to showcase new talent. I can't compete with the big boys on getting the freestyles and all that, because I don't have the connects yet. Eventually, I'd like to get the new freestyles, but at the same time, I want to see the new cats that's coming up."
