Yes I listen to music .A subjective phenomenon of time, pitch, and harmony . In my mind there is nothing more moving and powerful than music . It's an overwhelming energy that helps define a sense of motion in time . My constantly evolving tastes shape me in ways I have never imagined before . I myself play the drums . I feel free and in complete control while jamming . I enjoy singing as much as I do the drums . When I was in my third year of college I remember sitting on my fireescape late at night while listening to the sounds of Frank Sinatra playing on my computer . I would bask in the delight of smoking ciggaretts and looking at an excellent view of the empire state building in the far distance . There I could think and dream . Also that year I remember walking into Cha & Julliets place and listening to Nina Simone for the very first time . That night I was captured . Uncontrollable dancing to the most beautiful voice on the planet . For I have had many more moments of music unmaskings . And I know I will continue to have them in the future .Some Music I enjoy : Nina Simone , Gorillaz , The Beatles , Prince , Ween , Queen , Radio Head , Modest Mouse , NIN , The White Stripes , Led Zeplin , Mogwai , Blonde Redhead , Fugazi , Tricky , Charissas Weird , Janis Joplin , The Doors , The Pixies , Billie Holiday , Bjork , The Juliana Theory , Marvin Gaye , Marilyn Manson , Red Hot Chili Peppers , Coldplay,Smashing Pumpkins , Eartha Kit , Lamb , Apoptygma Berzerk , Elvis Presely , Tom Waits , Bob Dylan , John Coltrain , Count Bassie , Simon & Garfunkle , Michael Jackson , The Who , The Byrds , Jefferson Airplane , Patti Smith , Eric Clapton , Bob Marley , FletWood Mac , Massive Attack , Tom Petty , Elton John , Beck , Madonna , The Violent Femmes , Ray Charles , NERD , George Clinton , King Curtis , The Bad Plus , Dinah Washington , Thad Jones , Dave Burbeck , Koop , Jack Johnson , Joe Cocker , The Almond Brothers , Billy Joel , Buddy Holly , Jimmy Hendrix , The Lucksmiths , Peter Gabriel , The Atomic Grind Show , The Rolling Stones , Elliot Smith , John Lennon , The Ramones , Beethoven , Bach , The Boston Pops , Nat King Cole , Aphex Twin , DJ Shadow , The Rat Pack , Manu Chao , Bright Eyes , Antony and The Johnsons , Nick Cave.......And The list goes on and on .
A fan in deed . Film is a voice . Film is a theory , a point of view , a perception to be heard . I love the collaborative process of getting the job done as a collective effort . Foreign films are some of my favorites . Documentaries seem to hold brilliance most of the time . I resent Hollywood block busters and prefer Independent Film any day . D.P.'S are my favorite crew members for the visuals apspects . For I am a visual person with my eyes ready and open wide . Writers are key . A great script is like an eternal novel that can be read from cover to cover a million times over . But , the collaboration is the importance . I often find myself obsessed with film . It is a personal delight in which I feel absolutely free for a brief 122 minutes .Some Films I enjoy : Born into Brothels , Dark Days , Happiness , Pollak , American Beauty , Iris , Monster , Murder in the First , Sophies Choice , Schindler's List , Interview with the Vampire , The Public Eye , Deconstructing Harry , Manhattan , A Clock Work Orange , Eyes Wide Shut , The Shinning , Full Metal Jacket , The Piano , Loloita , Lover's on the Bridge , Amelie , The Shawshank Redemption , Capote , Crash , Requium for a Dream , Pie , Punch Drunk Love , Scarface , The Big Lebowski , The Royal Tenenbaums , American Splendor , Sideways , Lost in Translation , The Cabinet of Dr .

Corrupt & entertaining at the same time .Telivision is a great little invention in which most people spend the many hours of their lives indulging in . The delight of the glowing screen and entertaining novels of programs constantly consuming our minds can easily become a pleasing tool to numb and distract from our silly and rediculous lives we live in . As a occasional viewer myself , I like to watch television for this very fact . Personally I think television is an excellent machine to allow people to become useless drones .In reality information is not legit . Our news programs are basically flawed and reality television is not reality .However I do like PBS and also some stuff on HBO.
