It was a real fun to watch “Zift” shortly after “Crank” was seen for the first time. If you know both of these movies you can understand what I mean.

Radio today

http://audiobookradio.net – if you are into English literature you can find this station useful. I’ve stumbled upon it today while surfing default Nokia internet radio stations catalog. By the way, I want to share my understanding of internet radio stations phenomenon.

Nowadays when one has no problem of downloading whatever he or she likes to listen to right now the broadcastings are still alive - but with a different sense. As to me, I turn on broadcasting when I can’t decide what exactly I’m interested in or when I face some new genre or unfamiliar media. It is too hard for me to make a really random decision and too sluggish I am sometimes to drill down and make a grounded choice.

So I do really value good stations for helping me to escape repeatedly Buridan’s donkey’s fate.

Andrew Hill - Sept

This tune is definitely my favourite of the week, long and complex. The only disadvantage is that it must be listened to carefully, not while being busy with something. But if you have a dozen minutes to spare you can be lucky to catch how the melody themes are introduced first, then become decomposed to the simple fragments which start to mix up to almost random but still stylish vortex - and the final assembly where all the parts are put back to their place in the tune, more vivid then in the timid beginning. Stunning.

Discovering basics

I took part in the political discussion yesterday at the global UK livejournal comminuty. I was nearly astonished of how naive and uncynical common livejournal britons are comparing to the russians. For example, noticing a user with the "88" number in his nickname I was suprised to discover that he meant nothing but his birth year by it. Or they really assume labours to be "the most far-right government in British history", omg.

Of couse it is not about britons really but about livejournal which is the quiet domestic service in every country it presents in except Russia. So people attending lj at UK are not much into political disputes and it makes an effect. Still it is amusing.

Twin Peaks

I am rather disappointed with the Twin Peaks series which I was slow enough to see only last week for the first time. The main complaint is that there is no real investigation process in the movie and all the clues come to Cooper from the outside ready to use almost immediately as microwave food. I understand that it isn't a pure detective story but even mystical moments could use more entanglements.

Even the name of the killer is not concluded but received from the dream crossing all the t's at once - voila, "my father killed me", what a facepalm! Such deus ex machina methods are very cheap if you ask me. If we are stucked - well, no problem, the supernatural being will appear and whisper something significant.

Also there are obviously worthless plot lines to fill time gaps (Nadin, Lucy and Andy relationship and other) that are nothing but sets of laboured theatrical jokes.

But I must admit that the defects are concentrated in the second season - the first one is much better. "It's a damn fine cup of coffee! And hot!" is really hilarious!
