hahahah :D
actually, I think I prefer live music. but, I've never been to a concert, like, a concert concert, in my en-tire life - errr... Im not sure if thats true! But anyway, I don't plan on going to any anytime soon. I have mixed feelings on getting sucked into the power of the mob, without, like, crowd control present. hm. also, Im too busy sequestering myself :) I dont know, call me goofy :D though, I don't feel too left out :D I listen to and enjoy all sorts of music.
the artists, bands, DJs, musicians, musiclist Im constantly adding to :D listening to :) and sometimes, rarely, subtracting to, like grr! hahahah :)

instruments: I can read music, and I like playing noisy pianos. keyboards are for pussys:D
like music, I enjoy a wide range - excluding horror ;( see my list :)
particularly (sociologically or otherwise) interesting to me are any movies which analyze and glorify subversive or criminal lifestyles, violence, and bad moral values. witty dialogue, a killer soundtrack, and espionage themes are a plus. I like the polar opposite too. yet, in much smaller doses.
Therefore a huge Quentin Tarantino (excludeing KillBills) and Martin Scorcese (includeing Gangs of New York) fan. I saw The Departed seven times in the theaters. No kidding! ;) what can I say? I loved this movie! heheh. anyhow, I'd reccommend it to anyone :) though, my dad hated it :(
I'm not the kind of person that's gonna kick back and watch C-SPAN, PBS, the History or Learning Channel, A&E, E!, Jeopardy, any form of cartoons or talk show, soap operas (with exception per Spanish ones), TBS, Lifetime, Comedy Central, or so-called news broadcasting.
Also not the kind of person to even have cable television in the first place. Am I sounding difficult yet? hahahahah. :D Well, I've been like this for a long time. So, get used to it. hahahahah.
Although, I could have cable TV in a day if I chose to splice my internetz connection, I opt not to. Seems unnecessary. hahaha.
But, sometimes I do watch TV. In hotels, hospitals, other people's houses, salons. Therefore, I could watch Meerkat Manor all day long :D hahahah I saw it a couple times and liked those kats :D and sports goes without say. I like baseball and boxing and hot ESPN news anchors.
