When Eric's sire, Godric, finally tired of immortality, he went to meet his death in the sun with Sookie as his only witness. The only song powerful enough to get us through such an emotionally charged scene is Lyle Lovett's cover of prison work song "I Will Rise Up/Ain't No More Cane." This might actually be our favorite song from the series thus far.

"Strip Club" isn't really a genre of music. At least you can't find it on iTunes. Regardless, we think most people wouldn't put Massive Attack in the same setting where you usually hear something like "Girls Girls Girls." Well, in the True Blood universe you take your clothes off to "Paradise Circus" and lament that love is a rigged game that will kill you in the end. What can we say? We like our sex industry workers hopeless.

From just down the road in El Campo (via Austin) comes Vallejo, a little Southern-rock band with much alternative awesomness Rocks Off simply had to let into the series' Top 5 songs. "Snake" perfectly sets True Blood's tone when it closed out the second episode, warning us all that no one was what they seemed and danger abounded in every direction.

Rocks Off is pleased to announce that not only will our coverage of True Blood continue, but we will be returning as a regular contributor to the Loving True Blood in Dallas radio show on Sundays after each episode. Make sure you tune in.

See you Monday.
