I'd like to meet:
I want to know people who are about change. I want to be around creators, builders, and lovers. I don't want to talk about people, I don't want to talk about events, I want to talk about ideas.
Music:
my friends are members of: zeitmahl, trance to the sun, tweaker, the out crowd, kidneythieves, the postal service, manufactura, the myriad form, free dominguez, cervello elettronico, hazing ritual, shocknina, submarine fleet, blade fetish, and among the weeds, so go buy their stuff.
I also like: 8mm, assemblage 23, babyland, cabaret voltaire, combichrist, consolidated, converter, the cure, curve, david sylvian, depeche mode, the durutti column, genesis, funker vogt, jack dangers, japan, killing joke, meat beat manifesto, nitzer ebb, peter gabriel, pierrepoint, robert fripp, roland gift, roxy music, ryuichi sakamoto, s.i.n.a., suicide commando, the blue nile, the cure, toni halliday, u2, suicide commando, ascii disko, vhs or beta, tom vek, lfo, paul buchanan, mr. bungle, terrorfakt, tactical sekt, s.i.t.d., love and rockets, tones on tail, you shall know us by the trail of dead, new order, john mayer, sting, the police, lacuna coil, bt, dj rap, tiesto, boom boom satellites, spetsnaz, seven percent solution, u2, diamanda galas, the golden palominos, phil collins, sting, holger czukay, rotersand, this list could go on forever.
Movies:
Spy thrillers, indies, and outrageous stories.
Television:
I honestly don't have a lot of time for the idiot box these days, but if I do watch teevee, it's Law & Order or any of the TNT/A&E crime dramas.
Books:
I Know This Much Is True, Two Steps Ahead Of The Thought Police, The Grapes of Wrath, The Search for Modern China, The French Lieutenant's Woman, The North China Lover, Watership Down, Middlesex. I like Ondaatje, Duras, Kingsolver, Irving, Hoeg, Guterson, Schlosser, Coelho, jesus, we could go on all day. I also read a lot of research on social media and psychosocial topics related to online identity and social structures - Lessig, Turkle, those kinds of people. (Seriously, you start writing a thesis and find out how much of this stuff you're way behind on, okay?)
Heroes:
Those who are real, honest, loyal, and true.
