The IMF doesn't just stand for International Monetary Fund anymore.

Oooh, cool. This is a satellite-only station, I gather...

Thanks for the vid-link! That was awesome - so well done. It totally makes me crave more Deadwood. Alma is one of my favorite characters in that story. She is a tough lady in a very tough town, who has managed to do quite well for herself. She even faced down Ian McShane's Al Swearingen, the second scariest guy in the story (Powers Boothe's Cy Tolliver wins the Crazed Psycho slot but just by a hair).

Yeah, right now IMF is only available through Dish Network and a couple other satellite outlets, but I gather they'd be happy to be available more widely. I'd love to see them do well, if only to remind the corporate music suits what music on television should look like.

Thanks again for the vid link. It really perked up a boring Friday afternoon at the office!
