This is a minor spoiler, so if you’re a Battlestar Galactica fan and haven’t seen the season finale for Season 3, stop reading this now. I got turned onto Battlestar Gallactica after friends kept saying it was a good show. I’ve been hooked after seeing season 1 and have been keeping up with the latest season.

Last night’s episode featured a tight, awesome cover of Dylan’s All Along the Watchtower which had a cool Indian/Middle Eastern feel. I can’t find the recording online right now, but I have the episode on iTunes and keep skipping to the end so I can listen to it.

In an effort to track down who covered it, I hit Google and found out that the cover was written specifically for Battlestar. It will be on the Season 3 soundtrack according to the artist who arranged this version. If you read his blog post, he goes through how he went about building the arrangement. It makes for great reading.

I’m looking forward to getting a copy of this track when it’s available.

Here’s a clip from YouTube that shows the end. The music plays over most of the clip, though it skips the best parts with the electric sitar. Be warned! The clip contains spoilers, in fact it pretty much gives away the climax of Season 3. Do not watch if you haven’t see the whole episode!

That’s pretty sweet, and amazing that it was written for a show. BTW, I really want that guys studio setup…

I’m actually frightened by seeing those two things connected in some meaningful way. Bush fanatics, however, apparently are not.
