Music:
garage rock in my opinion is the top form of musical expression, I hate emo, and rap, I have recently gained a new slight appreciation of country but its actually pretty complicated. The Hives remain my favorite band far and wide especially after having met them.
Movies:
all kinds so long as they dont suck, music documenttaries really fascinate me of late.
Television:
Only one show on television is worthwhile to me and that is NBC's The Office.
Books:
Chuck palahniuk, Bret easton Ellis other dark comedy books, also books related to music, i.e. band bio's and such.
Heroes:
people who make great music.
