I'm embarrassed to know this soil produced me.
I'm dying to be elsewhere, trying not to belong
in a nature of impulse and self indulgence.
A brother to none, my kinship lies elsewhere.

Classical, opera, and epic metal. Hardcore when I feel nostalgic, and some delta blues.
e.g. Holst, Liszt, Ravel, Sibelius, Tchaikovsky, Wagner. Dark Tranquillity, Kamelot, Rhapsody, Stormlord. Merauder, Trial, Youth of Today. Bill Broonzy, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters.
Lawrence of Arabia, Brazil, Time Bandits, 12 Monkeys, What Dreams May Come, Lord of War, Requiem for a Dream, Monty Python, The 13th Warrior, all Steven Seagal movies. Anything without a love story.
Pure Pwnage . Steven Colbert [a god], Jon Stewart, South Park, and American Dad. TV's pretty worthless, overall.
Le Guinn, Orwell, Gaarder, Lewis, Jaques, Tolkein, Herbert, Vonnegut. And Bill Watterson - Calvin and Hobbes :]
Lawrence of Arabia, Steven Seagal, and anyone who has the courage to stand up for his or her beliefs.
