That free download, Josh Rouse's "God, Please Let Me Go Back," and the Sarah McLachlan cover of XTC's "Dear God" have, as far as I and the comprehensive Play House site know, never appeared on the show. Coincidentally, Rouse and McLachlan are Nettwerk artists. I prefer to think the tracks are coming soon to the show, or that complicated rights issues meant there was extra space to fill on the CD; otherwise I will whine a little without feeling too ungrateful.
However, I know I'm a tragic nerd for remembering this, at least McLachlan has appeared on the show, in a manner of speaking. When our favourite jerk is talking to his bulimic patient in need of a heart transplant: "You cut yourself. Probably highly ritualized. You play the same Sarah McLachlan song over and over while you do it. Probably works better than anti-depressants."
The soundtrack sounds like it will be as well. Great show meets great music meets great label: I'll be downloading – legally – on September 18.
