From WikiPedia: "Her song "Inconsolable" (from Plumb) was featured in an episode of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer entitled "Prophecy girl"."

Listening to her clips she sounds like lighter (was going to say 'safer', but lets be nice) version of Lucinda Williams.

I really like her 'Careful What You Wish For' song. Rarely does a song hit me straight away but that one sure did.

Simon | October 01, 23:12 CET

This is excellent. I am a big Jonatha Brooke fan - it is so nice when fandoms collide.

In addition to her solo albums, her earlier work is as part of a duo called "The Story." She is also a fun performer to see live if you have the chance.

Zannadoo | October 01, 23:27 CET

That's so cool! Jonatha went to my high school, and I've always been a big fan of her work.

Amaranth | October 01, 23:43 CET

I am looking forward to see what this sounds like. Joss shows always have exceptional theme songs IMO.

Litwal | October 01, 23:43 CET

Yeah, Litwal, I can't think of many better themes than those for Joss' shows. (Unless that swelling discordant note at the beginning of Lost counts...)

But anyway, new pictures and details about the theme song on the same day? Could it be? Are we actually going to be discussing relevant information?! Because I don't know if I'm prepared for that.

UnpluggedCrazy | October 02, 00:01 CET

I've been a fan of hers since her song aired on "Prophecy Girl." She's a fine talent, and the fact that she worked with Keb'Mo', among others, on her latest album "The Works" makes me want it even more.

"All You Gotta Do Is Touch Me" sounds good - but yeah, "Careful What You Wish For" is niiice...

Listening to her clips she sounds like lighter (was going to say 'safer', but lets be nice) version of Lucinda Williams.

I don't hear that similarity. Lucinda Williams has that alt country sound going on. Jonatha Brooke's songs sound more straightforward folk/pop from what I've heard.

I'd be more intrigued if it was Lucinda Williams. Ah well. I'll probably like it when I hear it.

Sunfire | October 02, 00:05 CET

This sounds very good ! I'm so glad Dollhouse will have its opening theme, it's a shame so many shows don't anymore.

I'm also very curious to know who will score the show... Chris Beck maybe ? I'm just saying :)

Nico-Angel | October 02, 00:06 CET

Never heard of her, but Eric Bazilian is always lots of fun.

JadeHand | October 02, 00:08 CET

I got a CD of hers after Inconsolable - loved the song. Looking forward to hearing the theme.

Lioness | October 02, 00:19 CET

I like themes in theory because it's nice to have a song directly related to the show but don't care for them in execution. I like that shows now-a-days skip straight to the show rather than waste 30 seconds on an opening sequence that gets tired rather quick. I know when watching the Buffy/Angel/Firefly and other DVDs I skip the opening sequence much more often than not.

That being said, I bet this theme will be kick-a**, I'll love it to pieces, and couldn't imagine the show without it. ;)

Whisper | October 02, 00:59 CET

Theme song? Yes! Which means we'll get a decent opening sequence, unlike most shows on the air.

Numfar PTB | October 02, 01:12 CET

You know, I have no problem with theme songs. But all this hate for when shows don't have them perplexes me. For example, I'd hate if Lost had a theme song'd opening sequence. But I'd miss it if BSG didn't. Generally speaking, with the exception of, say, Enterprise, I think most shows make the right choice for themselves.

Heh, well, we're different people then Whisper. Watching the intro's for Buffy, Angel and Firefly gets me into the mood of watching the shows themselves. Hearing them today still gives me a warm feeling of coming home. To me, they're part of the identity of the shows and I love them to bits. Here's hoping the Dollhouse theme song and title sequence will be as good :).

Having said that, I do agree with Bix: Lost has the perfect opening for that show. It just works, completely. But really, it's the unique nature and mysterious undertones that make the one-note just-font opening work for Lost. On the whole, I really greatly prefer longer opening sequences.

In fact, I usually even prefer the montage-type-sequence, like Buffy, Angel and Firefly had (and nowadays shows like 'Smallville' have) to the more stylised titles of say a 'Stargate Atlantis' (which at least has the actor's faces) or - however much I like it - something like the (again, very nice) opening titles for 'True Blood'. But I'm just weird that way :).

GVH | October 02, 01:29 CET

Is the song "There's more true lovers than one" ?

That's the song on her new album that she does with Eric Bazilian. You can hear clips of it on her site and at amazon.

Septimus | October 02, 01:39 CET

Well b!x, I have to agree with you on the Lost and BSG lands, but I do find that I'd rather some of the shows I'm following, to have an opening sequence, rather than not. Lost it's an clear exception, but I wouldn't have minded if Heroes had one, even if was basically a surreal sequence like the one "The 4400" had.

Ghost Whisperer is actually a show with a very interesting Opening sequence. I'd imagine if Pushing Daisies had one, would look something like that.

Of course, HBO length opening sequence would be impossible on network tv.

It's just opening sequences just became so scarce and rare of late on network tv shows, an art that used to be so cool, that I really miss them.

I'm just so glad that we're gonna get another Joss show with a opening sequence, I don't think BtVS, Angel or Firefly would ever been the same, without those classic opening sequences and theme songs.

Numfar PTB | October 02, 01:41 CET

I believe there's an original song, so it's not on the album. I hope both the song and the title sequence are better than Drive's.

gossi | October 02, 07:51 CET

I hope the episodes are better than Drive's.

The One True b!X | October 02, 08:03 CET

Ditto.

gossi | October 02, 08:17 CET

Oh c'mon, Drive wasn't so bad.

Racoon Boy | October 02, 08:42 CET

I should have added the YMMV, but it seemed like a bad pun. ;)

The One True b!X | October 02, 08:44 CET

I liked Drive, but I'm not a fan of FOX's "Action Network!:!!!!one11!" thing, and it certainly seemed like they laid it down on that show. I still maintain the biggest problem FOX have is the Action Network label. How about being the quality drama network?

gossi | October 02, 09:14 CET

For some reason I think the opening sequence from Drive, was better than some of the episodes. Sorry, Tim.

Numfar PTB | October 02, 10:32 CET

I'd be more intrigued if it was Lucinda Williams.

That's sort of what I meant.

Caroline | October 02, 11:38 CET

Jonatha?!

Seriously?

ZodKneelsFirst | October 02, 18:53 CET

I liked the Drive theme.

...Can't stop the phones, can't stop the world...

Jackal | October 02, 21:08 CET

That's sort of what I meant.

It'd probably take her a long time to make the song though. I think her control enthusiasm is similar to Joss's. ;)
