here’s a short list of things i’ve re/discovered

and even more of my evil nano this year.
- william basinski – disintegration loops
- daniel menche
- lustmord
- dead can dance
- the legendary pink dots
- echo and the bunnymen
- the misfits
- obituary
- morbid angel
- cannibal corpse
as you can see i went through i a bit of an darkwave/ambient noise/death metal phase. but that should not be a surprise.
AND even though a crap year in music was had by all…
it has been an excellent year for games: gears of war, rainbowsix3 vegas to name a few.
It has also been an even better year for TV.
I’m telling you right now if you are anti-television… get over it.
watching TV is cool again.
here’s a quick run down of the shows i schedule my life around.
studio60
amazing writing. a perfect blend of humor and politics romance with walk and talks so fast your head will spin.
dexter
the mind of a serial killer on tv. whats that you say? he moonlights as a forensics investigator? oh wait he only kills people that deserve it? dont they all? he lives in miami?...
how i met you mother
best comedy on tv EVER. still. always. The perfect amount of character in jokes. and, and wait for it… geek humor. thats right i went there. I’m so blogging this! suit up and watch. its LEGENDARY!
battlestar galactica
forget that its scifi, seriously. its the best damned show on. the writing is unstoppable. the cast is amazing. cinema grade all around. not a single bad episode in the 3 seasons its been on.
weeds
this show gets better and better with every season. may the tv gods at showtime deem it worthy of at least four more seasons.
theres more… that i watch
[16 at last count]
but this will do for now

I’m with you on Sudio 60 & Dexter. They both started out OK and just kept getting better. Soured on HIMYM after the first season, but I liked it then. Everyone I know keeps telling me how great BG and Weeds are. Guess I should watch them someday.
But man, it’s all about the new Doctor Who! And the old. BitTorrent is a godsend. Seriously, I think there is a God because of BitTorrent, and I think she gave us BitTorrent so we could watch foreign TV.
Speaking of which, I think you would like Funland. A one-season self-contained BBC show. You’d probably also like The League of Gentlemen… but definitely Funland.

Don’t forget Heroes, and also one of my favourite Brit shows from this year was Life on Mars – short 8-part series. Check it out.
