omfg global frequency wtf

So I finally watched the Global Frequency pilot that's been sitting [redacted] and all I can say is, "wow". It is totally awesome; there's only one or two clunky bits (mostly the dialogue concerned with the existence of Global Frequency and its justification, etc.) but the rest of it just rips along. Some good music, some fantastic lines, and I am so thinking of ripping the phone noise out of it and dumping it into my cellphone. Which, aside from being incredibly nerdy, is totally unlike me; as far as I'm concerned generally, a ringing phone should sound like a ringing phone and nothing more. I do recommend you somehow contrive to see this unbroadcast TV show which is, like, totally unavailable on any global interweb thing or anything illegal like that. Honest.

Gibson on U2

"It's sort of like the military," offers one of the black-clad local crew, watching three of his fellows delicately manhandle a very large, wheeled box, "except there's less room to screw up." (link)

William Gibson visits Planet U2 during the Vertigo tour to observe the build-up and tear-down of the concert set.
