And thanks to Paste magazine, I now know a different Londoner is showing some Wire love through her working relationship with homegrown talent Blaqstarr. The local producer has somewhat interpreted the HBO crime drama’s theme song, “Way Down in the Hole,” for M.I.A.’s single “S.U.S. (Save Ur Soul).”
