Episode Fanmix for Sports Night

Sword 3

For a challenge at [livejournal.com profile] the_deepbluesea. As I've indicated elsewhere, this episode--wherein Jeremy becomes obsessed with the loss of a yacht during a boating race when he discovers his parents are divorcing due to his father's affair AND Dan settles in to woo Rebecca over the long haul while rhapsodizing over the second chance for an over-the-hill pitcher during spring training--contains one of my favorite scenes in all of television.

The music is mostly about sailing, disaster (family and otherwise), baseball, second chances, and romance. Some songs chosen for theme only, but of course Sloop John B is used to great effect within the episode, and Shiver Me Timbers and Closer to You are my two favorites here. (I think of Closer to You as a very-early-morning-after song. In that hotel room with the empty bottle of champagne in the melted-ice bucket.)

Cover and songs here... )
