Hip Hop. Radio. Wax. It's all about the underground and the community behind it. If you don't like it's because your eyes are closed and you refuse to listen. Art: the beauty in a line. Recording: the magic of the mix. (Gear fiend for life!!)
People who love art, music and are inspired by the world instead of repressed by it. Everybody else...Surprise Me... I love new people, ideas, and pretty pictures.
Hip Hop: I get down with the ol' skool and upliftin', the new but fresh, and the invitingly obscure. Jazz: the classics and the transcendental. Abstract screeching only sounds good when I do it. Anything else that makes my head nod.

Anything with cannons and sinking ships, social context, meaningless period mush, and historical analysis is good for me. I can't read magazines, newspapers, or anything else with poor grammar.
