Aurora Store is generally _not_ recommended by the GOS folk as it offers minimal privacy benefits over running the full-fat google play within the GrapheneOS Google services sandbox, while introducing supply chain risk.

It is convenient though and I've used it from time to time. I prefer "APKUpdater" for one-off play store downloads which I think uses the same client code aurora does: https://github.com/rumboalla/apkupdater

The show 'House' has used three different opening tracks depending on territory and medium.

Massive Attack's Teardrop was used in the original US air (although as a Brit I've somehow heard all three on tv re-runs and Amazon Prime)

It's great, and it still even works permissionless!
