Comedy and the healing power of laughter. Performing Magical trickery. Diverse music that strives to be different. Occasionally doing some painting and writing (hopefully get my novel, "VICTIM" back up and running soon).
People who know what it's all about, mostly so I can sneak a look at their notes.
In no particular order... New Model Army, Iron Maiden, Faith no More, Audioslave, The Darkness, Lamb, Levellers, Pixies, Peter Gabriel, Apollo Four Forty, Portishead, The Prodigy, Sisters of Mercy, Skunk Anansie, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Linkin Park, The Zutons, The White Stripes, Waterboys, Space, Tenacious D, Propellerheads, PWEI, Mountain, Weird Al Yankovic, Clannad, Carl Orff, Antonio Vivaldi, George Gershwin, Gustav Holst.

1960's TV, although "before my time", has moulded my appreciation for comedy and the surreal. Monty Python and The Prisoner. More recently, Brass Eye and Jam, The Mighty Boosh, Doctor Who and Torchwood (nostalgic purposes - sigh), Life on Mars, Countdown (good for brain and Carol is lovely), Dangermouse, Twin Peaks, Red Dwarf, Knightmare... and so on.
Why not try embracing the unusual world of Robert Rankin...? Or indeed any of the following: Douglas Adams, Dean Koontz, William Shakespeare, JK Rowling, Philip Pullman, Christopher Brookmyre, Terry Pratchett (although mostly just for 'MORT') and Scott Lynch.
