i ate my television... transmitting tv signals as i write this...
well, in all honesty i can break it down like this.... The Cosby Show, Fat Albert, The Fresh Prince, That 70's Show... That's about all and really I only watch these when I am @ my girl's or chilling with my Brother... TV just does nothing for me..
The Tipping Point, The Exorcist, The Celestine Prophecy, The Laws Of Our Universe, The Shining, The Haunting Of Hill House, Catcher In The Rye, The Dancing Wu Li Master, Audio Mastering In Depth, Stephen King's "Apt Pupil" short stories, his best one!! John Grisham when i am in the mood & Scott Turrow... Some of those sleazy Anne Rice novels get me thinking??? Are woman really this sensual or just perverted??? ... A new one that was really thought provoking, "The Divinci Code" Ummm... I also dig, John Patterson & Dean Koontz, More geeky one's like Analog Circuitry, Synthesizer Bible, Acid House, Techno The Hardest Easiest Way To Make A Living - Ron Murphy, TBA ... Well, I have loads of books but these are the one's i thought of initially.... Oh... Bit Reduction "A Thourough Understanding Of Sound" GREAT BOOK! ; ) And my forthcoming novel "Holding Onto The Feeling" A historic look at electronic music culture in the USA. under my pen name "Dr. Mindfuck" : )
Michael Jordan & The Chicago Bulls when under his guidance, Babe Ruth, Mr. Moog (R.I.P.) 1985 Chicago Bears, Moritz Von Oswald, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, New Order (In Their Substance Abuse Days) Trent Reznor, Bill Laswell, Bob Marley, The Cure, NIN, Vladislav Delay, Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Derrick Carter and all the people listed above who inspired the sounds of music in all forms and all mediums.

ROCK ON TIMOTHY LEARY & TERENCE MCKENNA YOU STILL ARE THE SHIT! ; ) "DROP ACID NOT BOMBS" - R. Hawtin
