I spent part of the last couple of days watching the drama Friday Night Lights on -line (great show btw and I hate sports), and there were two times where songs that I know and I dig were used in the show, first 'Search and Destroy' by The Stooges was used during a murderball game and then a cover of Daniel Johnstones 'Devilstown' (which was perfect for the show) was played... the inclusion of ...
