Today's bonus song is the opening theme for "Firefly". It is very short, but very clever I think with the fiddle and the slightly western country sound to the singer, and then the one section with just a touch of Chinese instrumentation in the background. All very appropriate and crafted to the storyline. It is a pity the song, and the section are so short. I love the concept of this fusion of music, as well as the idea of a "space western". There are other songs on the soundtrack worth noting too like "River's Dance".
I missed out on seeing "Firefly" when it was on TV, but I know what the fans felt like because I feel that way now with "Dollhouse". Both are excellent shows with a full load of interesting characters, an exciting unusual story line, and my kind of humor. Both canceled (or at least Dollhouse is as good as canceled). Joss Whedon needs to give Fox the finger and move on to ANY OTHER network/channel. His creations are brilliant and deserve at least a full season, and not on Friday night either!
