I love music. I also enjoy drinking Fresca, treasure hunting at out of state antique malls, old sci-fi and horror movies (B movies and worse), steampunk, sugar-free Red Bull. ...listening to National Public Radio (all other free radio is fucking awful)(NPR WMUB 88.5), Art Deco, fine dining as well as fast food, gigantic luxury cars from the early 70s (the kind TV detectives like), vintage 1960s and 70s Porsches, ice-fucking-cold showers, museums, travel, staying in, going out, maybe a bit of mountain biking, and restoring my 1930s Cabin... (it's really a house).
Music:
The Twilight Singers, Jeff Buckley, The Afghan Whigs (anything that Greg Dulli does is golden), Gutter Twins, Radiohead, Robert Johnson, Wilco, Miles Davis, Fiona Apple, Public Enemy and Chuck D, Django Reinhardt, After Hours, anything Mike Patton does interests me- Peeping Tom; Fantomas, Amy Winehouse, DJ Shadow, Tricky, Isaac Hayes, Rush, Cinematic Orchestra, Alice in Chains, Bjork, Devendra Banhart, The Beatles, Nina Simone, Johnny Mathis, NIN, the Blade Runner soundtrack (Vangelis), Portishead, Connie Price and the Keystones, Yma Sumac, The Cure, The The, Prince, Little Jimmy Scott, Twin Peaks (ST), Johnny Cash, Christopher O'Riley, Hank Williams SR, Beck, Brian Eno, James Brown, Al Green, Martin Denny, Parliament, Jurassic 5, Curtis Mayfield, Lyrics Born, John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Blackalicious, Frank Yankovich, Randy Rhoads, Stevie Wonder, Sly Stone, interesting live recordings, strange covers, and B-sides...

Television:
I don't watch much television, but I check these out when I can; The Office is the best show on television in years imo (plus the BBC version), The Simpsons, SNL, Conan O'Brien, My Name is Earl is pretty decent, 30 Rock...
Most of the drama on television is dumbed-down crap.
I don't follow sports, but usually catch some of the important big games, especially contests with a football.
Books:
I hope to read more someday. I have a few books on Art Deco, Indianapolis history, classic horror flicks (thanks Chris), and a bunch of reference guides on various subjects. Most of what I have is full of big, pretty pictures and are meant for coffee tables, I guess.
