BARENAKED LADIES lyrics
My life would be complete if I could meet Ricky Gervais, Tony Shalhoub, Dave Eggers, Sacha Baron Cohen, Walter Becker, Tom Morello, Donald Fagen and Ryan Adams.
AND, of course, the entire Ducks team!!! ;-)
Abbey Road blows me away more than any album I've ever heard. The Beatles=genius.
I am into just about everything musicwise. I grew up on radio so I can sing pretty much any song that was on the radio from about 1975 to today. I'm a pop music queen.
Stuff I dig in no particular order:
Fall Out Boy, Pepper, Jimmy Eat World, Cold War Kids, Faith No More, Justin Timberlake, Kaiser Chiefs, U2, Paolo Nutini, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Hot Hot Heat, Head Automatica, Lovage, Interpol, Nirvana, Mudvayne, Slipknot, System of a Down, Bloc Party, Dredg, The Killers, Radiohead, Life of Agony, Alice in Chains, Keith Caputo, Audioslave, Kings of Leon, Silversun Pickups, Pinback, Snow Patrol, Death Cab for Cutie, The Flaming Lips, My Chemical Romance, Coldplay, Queens of the Stone Age, Sting, Sean Lennon, The Flaming Lips, Kelly Clarkson, The Police, Panic! at the Disco, My favorite band of all time--STEELY DAN, solo stuff by Donald Fagen, solo stuff by Walter Becker, Eric Clapton, Beck, Marilyn Manson, Matchbox Twenty, Amy Winehouse, John Mayer, Ryan Adams (solo stuff, Whiskeytown, and the Cardinals), Tool, Peeping Tom, A Perfect Circle, Black Lab, Better Than Ezra, Muse, The Mars Volta, The Eagles, Toto, Nine Inch Nails, Supertramp, Incubus, Stone Temple Pilots, Dave Matthews, Elton John, Ambrosia and Maroon 5.

All of Kurt Vonnegut's work. Stories by Raymond Carver. Books by Dave Eggers. "We Don't Live Here Anymore"--three Novellas by Andre Dubus. Michael Hemmingson's writing gives me insipiration for my own writing. Love the way Alex Brunkhorst illustrates love in her book, "The Mating Season." Zoe Heller is amazing at writing about obsession in "Notes on a Scandal." My apartment is all books. It's like a damn library.
