I post on phantasy tour moe. under the moniker of btterswtantelope, and the terrapin boards under this name, but I always like meeting new people with whom to chat or hang out at shows. :)
Music is my life...my number one hobby/obsession/recipient of my free time and disposable income. I am fortunate in that I live in the philly area, because if shows don't come here, they go to nyc, baltimore, or dc. My favorites include: moe., al and the transmericans, echo and the bunnymen, juggling suns, buzz universe, the uninvited, cowboy mouth, the radiators, toad the wet sprocket, the breadbox band, stillwillis, the monkees, galactic, afghan whigs, keane, a-ha, squirrel nut zippers, coldplay, the pixies, NIN, bauhaus, u-melt, tea leaf green, medeski martin and wood, allman brothers band, widespread panic, grandaddy, pete yorn, phish, delerium, grateful dead, too much joy, toadies, poster children, deep banana blackout, phil lesh and friends, the breakfast, VAST, james, nitzer ebb, ministry, 80's music, funk, jambands, the feelies, gang of four, inxs, ghostbeat, honeyspot, peter tuck, cure, smiths, emmylou harris, vinyl, umphrey's mcgee, matthew sweet, lloyd cole just to name a few. Support Local Music!!
I prefer more independent films, although I have been impressed with some blockbuster type movies. My favorite movie is a tie between quills and willy wonka and the chocolate factory. Other favorites include better off dead, gladiator, anything with cillian murphy, anything with joaquin phoenix, anything with gary sinese, anything with russell crowe, master and commander, live music dvds, the thing, dogs in space, the stand miniseries, john hughes 80's flicks, the original star wars trilogy, and the lord of the rings trilogy.
I don't watch tv (the only reason I have one is to watch movies on), but if I did it would be mainly Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and TLC, with probably some history channel thrown in. Maybe some old 80's videos or something. Back in the day, I used to watch the Simpsons fairly regularly, along with Drew Carey, South Park, the X-Men on Saturdays, and football!
This is going to be a looooooong list. I'm a voracious reader, sometimes consuming 5-6 books a week when time permits. Favorite book of all time: My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell. Runners-up include Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger, On the Beach by Nevil Shute, Ice Bound by Jerri Nielsen, The Double Bind by Chris Bojahlian, Into the Heart of the Antarctic by Ernest Shackleton. Favorite authors include Gerald Durrell, John Steinbeck, Nelson DeMille, Maeve Binchy, Barry Eisler, Ken Follett, Dick Francis, Marian Keyes, Nicholas Sparks, Chris Bohjalian, Russell Andrews/Peter Gethers, Garrison Keillor, Terry McMillan, Stephen King, Jane Green, Robert James Waller, Ernest Shackleton, Jean Auel, Jill McCorkle, Belva Plain, old John Grisham, old Patricia Cornwell, and pretty much any Irish women's fiction author. I also like reading non-fiction adventure and polar (Arctic and Antarctic) exploration, and of course, Harry Potter. :)
