DELIGHTS: conversation, coincidence, conscilience, creative processes and expression, the brain, reasoning and debate,learning, sharing, growing, humor, androgyny, songwriting, writing, minimalism, drifting through varying states of consciousness, conservation, cultivation, photobooths, the cello, being with nature, biking, thrifting, cuddling, sleep, and music, always music
DESPISES: LYING, waste: of time, of words, of potential, of money, of human life, waste is awful, closed minds, flaunts, philanderers, and fiends
I'd like to meet:
people who bike a lot.
someone who will fund my trans-siberian railroad trip.
Music:
Despite all the amputations you could just go out and dance to a rock'n'roll station and it was all right......
Anything with handclaps, ba-ba's ,na-na's, la-la's or doot-doo's, blips and beeps, filter sweeps, minimalist orchestration, experimental percussion, epic climaxes, shifting dynamics, new-wave, shoegaze, dance-punk, electro-funk, krautrock, twee-pop, underground, found sound, musique contrete, big beat, music that makes me laugh, music that makes me dance, and the music of memory...
Current spins: Nick Cave, Interpol, New Order, Lee Hazelwood, Neil Young,
I will listen to anything Brian Eno, Phil Spector, Ennio Morricone, or John Cale have ever touched
I just have to say, that if you can't get down to Al Green or Sam Cooke then you don't have a soul. Call me callous, but but it's just my opinion.
