watching a comedy drama on channel 4 called Pure.
There must be a Spiritualized fan in their midst, as so far both So Long You Pretty Thing and All Of My Thoughts have been on the soundtrack.

Made me smile to hear Suicide's 'Cheree' appear in a perfume ad last night. Think the scent was called Daisy but it was the standard baffling dynamic of most perfume ads...

I just watched the final episode of Season 2 of Superstore in which a tornado wreaks havoc on the store. The aftermath is taken in with the song Into Dust by Mazzy Star. I like this show because it reminds me of the time I worked for a superstore in midwestern USA some years ago.

Don't know if this sort of counts but have almost finished watching the new Creation Stories film, and there's a short section in it with Ewen Bremner as Alan McGee wearing a Spacemen 3 shirt

Kingdom of Heaven by The 13th Floor Elevators appeared at the end of True Detective Season 1 episode 2. Now I'm checking out some of their other music. I know they have been talked about here, but I've never looked into them until now.

A bizarre note-for-note cover of the Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog" appears in the recent Disney Cruella de Vil prequel!

It was also used last season on Brooklyn 99 for a (hilarious) shot where a fat corgi named Cheddar runs toward the camera. It was just the instrumental intro so they were expecting the audience to get the joke just from that.

I recently discovered old US cop show The Shield which is excellent. A good soundtrack too so possibly not totally unexpected but when Ween's 'It's Gonna Be A Long Night' appeared I had to smile.

Never actually heard it myself but I`ve heard recently that Spacemen 3`s Big City is in the most recent episode in S3 of Sky`s Succession drama, big fan of this show, both previous series were superb, when I get round to watching S3 probably over the festive period my ears will be trained to detect Big City

Surprised by Spiritualized - Step Into The Breeze appearing in Netflix series Painkiller 💊
A narcotic drug scene so maybe not such a surprise but a reminder of what a gorgeous song it is

Spectrum’s magnificent ‘How You Satisfy Me’ is used prominently in ‘Priscilla’- Sofia Coppola’s film about Priscilla Presley. It’s also in the trailer, I think. Not the first song you’d think of in an Elvis movie!

Went through both pages and was surprised this wasn't mentioned (or I'm too ill to notice? I am very, very ill at the moment)

Prison Break finale:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR5477LSG98

It closed the entire show - last episode of the last season. I remember really enjoying it at the time and when Spiritualized came on I was sitting wondering if I was imagining for it a while?!

My apologies if it has been mentioned.

Johnny Halifax and The Invocations - Mountain Dub played by Gideon Coe on 6 music this morning. Heard it in the car without knowing who it was...but pretty much knew who it was. Sounded very like Spiritualized. I believe the LP will.be out soon. Something to look forward to.

Errr...just realized this is a TV thread and not unexpected music on the radio :oops: What a div! I often think I should give up on any messaging. I was excited about it though. Bit of Saddo, for sure.

Sure I heard an early Spiritualized tune on a rail travel advert this morning.
Couldn't hear it very well as too much other noise going on at the time!
