Very exciting! The first soundtrack was great (even if it omitted all the Greg Laswell songs) so it’ll be great to get back in the Bon Temps mood. Season 3 can’t get here soon enough.
ever the music curmudgeon, it looks very good but for one thing…Jace won’t be able to match Wolf., no one can. I just listened to that song last night it’s more bad ass than pretty much anything out today. Wolf’s voice shreds steel on that tune. if Jim Morrison couldn’t match it, Jace won’t, either.

You actually make it seem so easy together with your presentation however I to find this topic to be actually something that I believe I might by no means understand. It kind of feels too complicated and very extensive for me. I am having a look forward on your next put up, I will try to get the hang of it!
