Music:
snobby genre drop-box: rock and roll, punk, new wave, grime, post-punk, post-rock, psychadelic, experimental, hip hop, turntablism, riot grrrl, indie pop, electroclash, electronic, noise.
longtime favorite artists in no order: joy division, mogwai, yeah yeah yeahs, sleater-kinney, abba, cat power, bright eyes, radiohead, mirah, nirvana, jets to brazil (and jawbreaker), beck, r.e.m., godspeed you black emperor!, bikini kill (and le tigre), the faint, sigur ros, pixies.
and since the interworld has kept track of my listening behaviors for marketing purposes:
what i have been putting in my ears recently: wolf parade, arcade fire, mirah, kanye west, the killers, lady sovereign, spoon, the knife, the kills, clap your hands say yeah, my mixes
i know it is not music, but i listen to it weekly: this american life
