Needless to say I am into music and enjoy playing acoustic music with my band, BackYard. We play at Coffee Houses and other small venues.
I also get the opportunity to help out other local musicians setting them up with weeknight shows at Coffee Works. I also help run the open mic there along with other things. My way of helping out the local music community
I also play guitar with Kris Noyes and Rink, now known as the Kris Noyes Trio or The Trio for short. A "Pure Fun" project letting us acousticize and jam out on some classic rock tunes. Also lets me break out the old Les Paul and add lead guitar to the Trio's sound. We're not writing new songs but we're making something new out of lots of our own personal favorite songs. Fun stuff!!
I'll play music with anyone that wants to actually. Jam On!!
I always enjoy meeting other musicians even if its just to tell them how much I enjoyed thier performance. Other than playing live music I love watching other performers do their thing. Its like a music lesson to me!

The only radio I listen to these days is WXPN (88.5) out of Philly. Its a public radio station that plays a great mix of music. They play all the new singer/songwriter tunes that just don't get airplay on other stations. Artists like Jack Johnson, Jim Boggia, John Butler Trio, Aimee Mann, Joss Stone, Natalie Merchant, Lucinda Williams, Rilo Kiely, Amos Lee, Los Lonely Boys and thousands of others that just don't get played on the big commercial stations.
Favorite Local acts are:
Jim Boggia
BD Mylo and the GoDaddies
Robyn Harris
Fire By Night
The Honkeys
Adrien Reju
Billy Hector

As for movies, my wife works for a video rental store so we see lots of movies but usually after they come to DVD. Can't remember the last movie I saw at the theater.
Not much!! Some food network, discovery channel, SciFi channel, morning news. Not too familiar with the night time TV shows. Grey's Anatomy is okay! The Medium is pretty good. Jay Leno, David Letterman, South Park.
Ha!!! Tech manuals. Do they count??
