my interests would be philosophy: i like the old guys but recently become more interested in existentialism. I worship my guitar, and my camera = its what i do. I film things and write songs about them! good times, especially at parties.
New people, musicians! People with stories to tell, folk with interesting views, funny people! Absolutely anyone who is willing to talk.
Im a fan of Yann Tiersen the minimalist composer but, i do like a pretty wide range of music.Folk music like Obadiah Parker,alison krauss,union station or Wailing Jennies, old rock and roll like motorhead,ACDC,Led Zep and Pink Floyd,Anything with synth or good beats like Pendulum,Justice,Rob Zombie,motion city soundtrack and UTAH,metal bands or anything with CORE in it like killswitch,municipal waste,napalm death,pig destroyer,biffy clyro,mudvayne,tool/apc/NIN,ISIS,opeth,Nile, i am an old Nu-metal head so Korn,Slipknot,limpin with the bizkit,linkin park,i like power as well:Rhapsody and Dragonforce im into acoustic as well so Damien Rice,jose gonzales,rodrigo y gabriela,jack johnson. im into my jazz,classical, blues!eric clapton,john lee hooker big bill broonzy,blind "lemon" jefferson,BB king,howlin wolf and all them.I like rap but mostly dre,jay Z,dizzy rascal mainstream stuff ykno.I like trance and dance music but dont know anything about it,pretty much anything Benji plays i seem to like.so check his influences.
I love films that leave me thinking, smiling, sad, happy etc because it shows that the film has had an impact. My top films (for different reasons) would have to be: Happy Gilmore American History X Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Blood Diamond Oldboy Amelie Garden State Story of the Secret Solar System (Daft punk's 5555)
i dont watch much telly now but if i do its usually only to see Jeremy Kyle, Mighty Boosh, Monty Python, Peep Show or Can Fat Teens Hunt. (no idea why)
