The Wire -- January 2008

I thought the free Radiohead was all the joy my computer could provide me with this week, but then The Wire promo dropped on the New York Magazine site. The teaser's devoid of clips from the upcoming season, it embraces West B'more's vampiric loathing of dawn, and it tells of McNulty's pending release from his teetotaling cage. The slow decay of urban America never sounded so good.
