Euro Dance mostly I like Bubblegum -DJ Marski, Hit'n'hide, dimestars, tiggy, anything new, fun and cheerful. Aqua is another one. Lucinda Williams. Di-fm's Euro Dance streaming channel is on a lot. Well done hip hop and rap is fine T.I. Fat Joe, etc and the occasional reference to 80's New Wave New Order etc is OK too
Sometimes. Star Wars, The Gods Must Be Crazy. I liked Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings. The Cohen Brothers. James Bond.
Off is good. The West Wing, Sex in the City, Will and Grace, and Star Trek the Next Generation. Miami Vice / Nash Bridges Oprah Winfrey Dr. Who. The Rockford Files.
Lots of chick-lit lately- it's fun and escapist and provides some perspective (jaded perhaps) into those interesting people we as men live with. I get bogged down though in fashion jargon. A Total Waste of Makeup was fun. Toby Devens. Randy Wayne White. Carl Hiassen. Pam Houston. Jimmy Buffet. Peter Mayle. Sara James. Evelyn Waugh. South Wind.
William F Buckley Jr.(as a sailor/writer/adventurer not for his politics), Don Street (famous sailor/writer), My Mom + Dad. Samuel Elliott Morrison (Historian). Winston Churchill. Al Gore. Bill Clinton. My In-Laws are great as well - ruins the stereotype completely.
