24 | tv

midnight. jack bauer, head of the cia's los angeles counter terrorism unit, is suddenly thrust into a chaotic and exhausting 24 hour marathon of death, deception and terror as he struggles to prevent the assassination of a presidential candidate, find the traitor within his own organization, and save his kidnapped wife and daughter.

the whole season is in real time, and it's like nothing you ever watch before. really interesting concept, however the later part of the season seems kind of repeatitive and plot holes arise in many place. but still this is one of the best thing i've seen on tv.

hail to the thief | music

i'm a radiohead's fan since ok computer, after that i found the bends and pablo honey, then on to kid a and amnesiac and now this masterpiece, hail to the thief. i guess this is the reason why i don't really care if radiohead doesn't rock anymore or not. also genre is not the boundary of how i listen to music, it's the sounds that matter. httt is about paranoia, it sounds in between the progressive rock from ok computer, the experimental electronica of kid a and amnesiac, but also totally different from their previous works. it will require more than couple listens and read the lyrics to really apperciate their works. but if i can get only one album this year, this is the one.
