Yes, exactly! And without music the world seems to come a little closer, perhaps too close, and suddenly its a hassle to get to where you are going. Also having playlists and select music available can make any day better. ;)
And "The Wire" is hands down the best tv I've ever seen. Now a lot of people will tell you that - so please don't start believing that the show is therefore pretentious or difficult. It's not. In fact on the surface it is a straight up cops and criminals show with a basic premise of a crime unit in Baltimore trying to catch a drug lord. (sarkastic has great intro post to the show here (http://sarkastic.livejournal.com/316094.html).)
In addition to this is the fact that it is inspired by Greek drama and the Iliad, that it uses visual symbolism in a way that would make the most hard-hearted semiotician weep with joy and that after watching three and a half seasons of this show I can honestly say it has never - not once - been bad. It has a consistency in quality which is absolutely breathtaking. And yes - I am pimping it madly! because every one should watch "The Wire".
