Art, literature, and whirling dervishes.
Old pals—new friends; people who scour the area for interesting and fun things to do; selfless people; ones who are not limited by coolness, vanity or fear.
Some favorites include: Flaming Lips, Nick Drake, Patti Smith, Ricki Lee Jones, Beatles, Velvet Underground and Nico, The Cure, Bauhaus, and The Church. I like Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub, Television, The Stooges, Bowie, Marc Bolan, Johnny Thunders, Hank Williams, Chet Atkins, Johnny Marr, Townes Van Zandt, Robert Johnson, T-Bone Walker, J. Coltrane, Billie Holiday and...oh yeah, Thee Headcoatees.
I love cult classics: Harold and Maude, Repo man and Freaks; I like films by Ken Russell and John Waters; indy films; foreign films; Tony Richardson's dark comedy "The Loved One" is a favorite of mine.
Our Lady of the Flowers and anything art or philosophy related.
