Music, marketing, promotions, snowboarding, swimming, the piano, my dog Eleanor, New Orleans, anything sparkly, creating music, creating concerts, working out the logistics, dancing.
George Martin, Ringo Starr, Penny Lane, Marvin Gaye, Johnny Cash and June Carter, Quentin Tarantino.
Lately I have been listening almost exclusively to Ween, Future Rock, Exit Clov, and Modest Mouse. Sirius Satellite radio Pure Jazz 72 is awesome, Phish is my favorite band - anything that includes Mike Gordon. Pink Floyd was my first favorite band back when I was a baby, Incubus is good, Modest Mouse's 'Good News..." is the album I have listened to the most (upwards of 500 times now). The Beatles can do no wrong, Yonder Mountain String Band is making me love bluegrass, Grateful Dead mellows me out, I've seen Umphrey's McGee the most (55 times now). Brothers Past is a new pleasure, but so far I'm incredibly impressed. The Motet satisfies by latin funk/salsa cravings, Henry Butler and Papa Mali give me love from New Orleans (my second home), I love the soulful black men - Karl Denson, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Otis Redding, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, New Orleans Social Club.
Walk the Line, Bittersweet Motel, Festival Express, the Monterey Pop Festival, the original Star Wars, The Neverending Story, Supertroopers, Zoolander, Almost Famous, I am Sam, Goodfellas, Walk the Line (worth mentioning twice), and of course, The Little Mermaid.
Football and movies.
On the Road, Catcher in the Rye, history of rock and roll books, biographies.
