Music:
I like Music, mostly of the electronic variety. You probably wouldn't understand. Also Beirut, Angelo Badalamenti, Phillip Glass, Curtis Mayfield, David Bowie, Trent Reznor, Dr. Dre, George Clinton, Thomas Bangalter, Jimi Hendrix, Dangermouse, Ravi Shankar, Richard D. James, Case Tanner, and the Polyphonix Spree, Joe LeCompte
Movies:
I like Film, mostly of the intelligent kind. Some stupid movies are great, though. David Lynch, Christopher Nolan, Michael Gondry, Daron Aaronofsky, Sophia Coppola (and her father, I guess... lol), David Cronenberg, Coen Brothers, Wachowski brothers, Quentin Tarantino, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Oliver Stone, Stanley Kubrick, Akira Kurosawa, Alfred Hitchcock, Takeshi "Beat" Kitano, Tsui Hark, Yuen Wu Ping... There's just so many great film directors...
Television:
Star Trek. Metalocalypse. Venture Brothers. Seinfeld. South Park(sigh). Family Guy(sigh also). Futurama. Sealab 2021. Battlestar Gallactica.
Books:
Illuminatus. Sandman, Lucifer and Hellblazer are my favorite comics. I like role playing game books. Machiavelli's the Prince, and Plato's Republic. Dan Clowes, Neil Gaiman, Robert Anton Wilson, Anais Nin, Anne Rice, Stephen King(after having read the Dark Tower Series), Orson Scott Card, and Robert Jordan are good for fiction. Trevanian wrote the best book I've ever read, though. Shibumi is a novel espousing the meaning of the title word Shibumi: "...shibumi has to do with great refinement underlying commonplace appearances. It is a statement so correct that it does not have to be bold, so poignant it does not have to be pretty, so true it does not have to be real. Shibumi is understanding, rather than knowledge. Eloquent silence. In demeanor, it is modesty without pudency. In art, where the spirit of shibumi takes the form of sabi, it is elegant simplicity, articulate brevity. In philosophy, where shibumi emerges as wabi, it is spiritual tranquility that is not passive; it is being without the angst of becoming. And in the personality of a man, it is . . . how does one say it? Authority without domination? Something like that."
