Mellow seventies, the love songs of Lionel Ritchie. The greatest songs of all time on AM 1440. I have a list of old favorites like Iron Maiden, Sting, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, Sonic Youth, Talking Heads, Dinosaur jr. When I am around other people who like the 80's its like the summer of 82' all over again. I still remember the first time I heard Safety Dance, but I think that was 83. Most recently it has been Leonard Cohen, Looking Glass, the Neverending Story song, and Weird Al has really outdone himself. The 40's will always be the forties. Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw, Glen Miller, Benny Goodman. On the Jazz side of things Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, Songs about magic. I just realized I am a Neil Diamond fan, and that comes as quite a shock.
I have been watching a lot of movies lately. The Lord of the Rings, All six Star Wars, Italian horror movies by Fulchi, any movie from the year I was born, good or bad. Chicago, The Cold Eyes of Fear, The Last Picture Show. Magnolia, Dirty Harry, The Gift, American Psycho, Ready to Rumble, Rocky III, Talented Mr. Ripley, Closer, the first 10 minutes of Blade, Crybaby, 2001, Death to Smoochy, The Messenger, The Fifth Element, Lady in The Water, The Village.
