Music:

I'm really into ferrin (foreign) hip-hop these days. Checkity-check yosef some M.I.A. , a refugee from Sri Lanka now in Brittania, also in England: Lady Sovereign, the Streets, & Dizzee Rascal; from Cuba: Esquadro Patriota; HALCALI from Japan; and from Mexico: Control Machete - the most bombastic, musically rich hip-hop I have found to date.
Also diggin' the new Solvents CD (neither a chick nor a rap act, though the band does contain a talented female violinist).

... and Now ...I've been checkin' some J-Rock @ the Hollywood Knitting Factory. Of Note:
Eastern Youth - who've been compared to Fugazi, but make your own decision -&- Polysics - in the tradition of DEVO, 6-finger Satellite, et al., with really high energie.
check out Keikaku for more of these eastern delicacies.

Television:

Deathbilly Motocycle Roundup, My Name Is Earl, Henry Rollins' Talk Show, Takeshi's Castle (a.k.a Most Extreme Challenge Elimination)

Books:

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Stranger in a Strange Land, Neuromancer, Illuminatus!, Everything is Under Control, Rule by Secrecy.
