My Interests

music pretty much sums it up.... but then i'd say it's sort of more of an obsession rather than an interest.

I'd like to meet:

do people actually meet on this thing?...

Music:

'there are only two types of music... good and bad...'
- duke ellington

'no matter how many records i get, i ain't never gonna be satisfied... what am i gonna do? it's like being a junkie...'
- harvey pekar

i know that there is the most beautiful piece of music out there, and that i might never come across it... who knows... it might be something that was done by some obscure guy that pressed 100 copies in the 70's, or deleted, or it might be by some pop act that i just refused to listen to (though i doubt it)... well, i'm gonna do my best to hear as much as i can in this lifetime.

Movies:

SIN CITY, city of god, high fidelity, welcome to the dollhouse, american splendor, eternal sunshine, napolean dynamite, twilight samurai, once upon a time in america, empire strikes back, lotr, apocalypse now, raiders, delicatessen, brasil, akira, best of show, jarmusch, coen bros, wes anderson, welcome to collinwood, i ♥ huckabees, human traffic, 24 hour party people, shaun of the dead, the incredibles

Television:

T.V. PARTY TONIGHT!
T.V. PARTY TONIGHT!
T.V. PARTY TONIGHT!

Books:

straight no chaser. calvin and hobbes.

Heroes:

more for inspiration, rather than hero... (do i look like i'm held captive in a tower to you?...)
gilles peterson for the education, herbie hancock, stevie wonder, roy ayers for paving the way, marc + dego (4 hero) for bringing it forward and beyond... doze green for making me wish i had that gift, neville brody for changing the way i looked at things.
... coolest cats got to go to johnny depp and mos def
