I'm sure there are many others... all in due time I suppose.
I listen to a lot of genres... your cliche eclectic listener... isn't everyone eclectic these days? I listen to Rock, Hip Hop, Classical, etc... But I do have a particular fondness for good ol' solid industrial music. Nothing is better than cruising down PCH while listening to mechanical melodies of Nine Inch Nails, Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson.For those interested, I have a Launchcast station with hoards of rated tunes for your listening pleasure. You can check it out here: Grokmybitchup . Enjoy!
I love head trip movies. Sci-Fi, Horror, Fantasy, Thrillers, Suspense... Anything that makes you think or shifts your paradigm.
Here are a few notables:The Matrix Trilogy - Truly one of the most amazing philosophical trilogies ever made.
Fight Club - A movie that literally shook the inner core of who I thought I was to be.
Blade Runner - Fantastic noir film that questions what it is to be human.
Seven - Brilliant thriller!
LOTR - Quintessential fantasy trilogy.
Crash - A Minds Eye into Los Angeles.
Maximum Exposure, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Deadwood, Rome, Rescue Me, The History Channel, The Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel.
