Creative people who are opposed to stupidity and violence, cruelty in any form or censorship...
Pegasonics, Daniel Johnston, Patti Smith, PJ Harvey, MIA, Feist, Bowie, Comsat Angels, Patience and Prudence, Cocteau Twins, The Dandy Warhols, yé-yé girl french pop, Black Sabbath, Sergio Mendes, The Donnas, Sex Pistols, Loretta Lynn, The Fixx, Japan, early 80's college radio, old school hip-hop, organ jazz, bossa nova & my guilty pleasure is fantasy themed heavy metal. Yes, it's still around.
For directors, hard to go wrong with Hayao Miyazaki, Terry Zwigoff, Russ Meyer, Paul Morrisey, Jean Cocteau, George Romero, Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini, David Lynch, Nicholas Roeg, or the Maysles brothers. And I dig the documentary Heavy Metal Parking Lot.
I heart Degrassi Junior High!
