Comment:

I've been wanting to do this one for a long time. Carnivale is a great show, I can't wait for the next season! I took songs from the show, and intermingled them with "theme songs" for the main characters. Most of the "period" songs are from the soundtrack, as are quotes by the characters. This was a lot of fun to make. Jazz and blues of the 20's and 30's is one of my fave eras, and the show has an excellent soundtrack.
If you've watched the show, I think you'll understand why I chose each modern-day theme song for each character. The Siouxsie cover is one of my all-time faves- covering the hypnotic song the snake sings in the Jungle Book- and I thought it was a good choice for Ruthie the snake charmer.
