Music:

Yes.You'll need to know a few things.James Bucknell is my resident DJ. He and friends in Sydney throw warehouse parties called Paradise Lost .I've been known to dance. Underground American house, Chicago acid, Detroit techno, disco, and early electro will work magic. I learned everything I know about dance music on a dancefloor in New York City.I also have a penchant for post punk, new wave, no wave, dub, rock steady, ska, noise bands and wussy folk. I am as twee and discordant as as I wanna be.I believe the future of music belongs to non-musicians. Vive le avant garde.My old profile lists a bunch of favorite artists and has been blogged.

Mike Mills, Wes Anderson, Andy Warhol, Spike Jonze, documentaries, David O. Russell, Sofia Copola, Lynne Ramsay, Agnes Varda, Freeway Fiddler, Jim Jarmusch, surf films
