Rock and roll guitar, close calls, Extralogical!, (f)utility, scatology, the poetics of transgression, geek dancing, shootin' my mouth off, shotgunning competitions, and causing a ruckus.
I'd like to meet:
People who want to make bathtub gin, or go down to the dump to shoot rats.Linguistic anthropologists with fake credentials.The opposite of urinary tract infections.Also, a typewriter.
Music:
I gotta say, the garage rock is my favorite. But I like old-style rock and roll, punk rock, Motown, old rythm and blues, rockabilly, psychobilly, honkey-tonk, Bollywood soundtracks, Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, the real hip hop, and most songs about getting rowdy or getting dumped.Living in Toronto has caused me to become totally gay for the Arcade Fire and other such bands.Me and the drummer sing the same words simultaneously in different languages. It's not arty, it's fucking confusing.
Movies:
Gore. Westerns. Bollywood. Jim Jarmusch. Interwar. Anything with vampires or ninjas or midgets. Rom-coms make me twitch. Right now I'm wishing someone would remake Six-String Samurai with a young Steve McQueen, although that might actually make it less perfect. But I am curious.In "Wild Zero," the members of Guitar Wolf use their Guitar Wolf names in the movie so when Guitar Wolf saves some dude from zombies, he's all, "Thank you, Guitar Wolf." Which is awesome.
Television:
I don't have one, but if I did, I would watch the Trailer Park Boys, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, every day.Arrested development rules. I want one of them scooters like G.O.B.. Or just The Final Countdown to start playing every time I'm up to something which I probably shouldn't be doing and which will likely have unforeseen consequences.
Books:
Most of them. That's a lie. Some of them. I'm a theory geek, and I like the highbrow and the lowbrow. Right now I'm starting to generate the beginnings of a PhD thesis which would be about the hydraulics of transgression in the context of post-industrial states. I like "Subculture: The Meaning of Style" by Dick Hebridge a lot. Althusser, Barthes, Foucault, Camus, Spivak, Sausseure but not Derrida. Also anything with fighting with swords. Whenever people are talking to me and I'm agreeing with everything they say, it's because I'm actually imagining fighting things with swords.
Heroes:
I aspire to the level of spiritual enlightenment attained by G.G. Allin. Gee gee sus!
