Here's a little throw back to 1988 and one of the reasons we should be glad I decided to not be in front of the camera (prologue "I like Chinese Movies" by Joshua James Lessman)
Movies, Jelly The Dog, Urban Adventure Biking, Dana Varon, Learning new things, Cedar Lake. Save the rec center - click here
People I already know, artists, people who also like to discover new artists, collaborators, troublemakers, do-gooders, people not in the U.S
DavidJR.com does a lot of the meeting of people for me:I'd like to meet people who resonate with the video below . . .Check out Dana Varon's debut music video!!! (which I helped make)
It was a contender in the YouTube Underground Music Video competition and did really well!!

click here for another music video I like that happens to be by a fellow Minnesotan . . (feels very genuine North Woods too!)
My favorite musician is Dana Varon . I also like to discover new artists. I am seemingly on a perpetual search to hear everything on the planet. I'm more likely to buy a cd from a musician on the subway platform than at Virgin. Usually like singer/songwriters - crooners/standards - classic and modern rock - world - jazz - and truly risk taking / original artists best. But I'll listen to anything once. When I listen to radio - I use the tuning button always (no scan or presets) in hopes of coming across something unknown and exciting to me!
born into Spielberg (E.T. to Empire of the Sun) - evolved into Terry Gilliam (Brazil), Tim Burton(Beetlejuice), Coen Brothers (Barton Fink), Peter Weier (Fearless), Lawrence Kasdan (Grand Canyon), Robert Altman (Shortcuts), Jeane-Pierre Jeunet (Delicatessen). And of course all the wonderfully personal and small films I see on the festival circuit and while programming the Gen Art fest. Search for FOUR EYED MONSTERS on myspace!
Don't watch much but since the advent of the DVR I am catching up. Arrested Developement, Entourage, The Daily Show, Stella and Animal Cops - also anything on Discovery, History and PBS.Lately I have been waching Veronica Mars too - the writing and acting is really good/smart and there's great music supervision!
