"The House Rules"/Christian Kane rocks. Plus, watch me explain the internets economy.

So, long time fan of Warren Ellis.  He wrote a kickass miniseries called Global Frequency which was optioned for TV.  A pilot was made by TV writer/ubermind John Rogers, who keeps an awesome blog called Kung Fu Monkey.  Global Frequency didn't get picked up, but Rogers went on to be the showrunner for Leverage, a brilliant heist/con show.  One of the stars of Leverage is Christian Kane, who's acting work I already dug from his time on Angel.  I'd read/heard he also did music, but given it was country, wasn't really motivated to search it out.  I can dig on some country, especially old school like Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson, or old style rockabilly like Elvis, but tend to gravitate to hip-hop & rock.  This past week's episode of Leverage was an ep set in the country music industry and Christian Kane did some singing.  I thought "Hey, he's actually pretty damn good, and I dig that song."  Head to his website to see if there's a way to legally buy/dl the song living overseas - and there is - and for a few bucks more I can pick up an EP he did.  Sold.

And that's how you sell stuff in the 21st century economy.

And on the EP, this jam - "The House Rules" - totally kicks ass.  A rockin' grinding rockabilly anthem.  Had this thing on replay for the last 48 hours or so.  Made of Win.
