is as imperative as breathing. I'll tell you what's rocking my socks these days. The Black Keys and Wilco. I freaking love boys who can talk with their guitars. Also, old-school smutty rap has been hitting the spot. A Tribe Called Quest is fabulous. Then, there's some old standard favorites still~ I love listening to drum and bass or atmospheric ambient music, dancing ferociously and painting. Still love Pink Martini, St. Germaine, LTJ Bukem, Tycho, Chemical Brothers~ and yes, Kitaro. Lots of Bjork is always the right idea. And, as always, listen to Joni. I'll be impressed and immediately want to talk to you more.

I go through phases of either feverish consumption of books~ or nothing. Sometimes I don't give a shit what other people have to say really, and I just want to dance. I'm currently in one of those phases~ though certain tasty volumes on feng shui have been slipping through, and I've got a novel in my possession that is apparently Really Important. Seriously, though. Let's hop a plane for the coast and get out of town for the weekend. I'd rather do that than read about it.
