Of late, I've been obsessively listening to Gram Parsons (his solo stuff as well as his albums with the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers) as well as the Stones, Bob Dylan and the Band, Townes Van Zandt, Hank Williams, etc.

Movies:

The Thin Blue Line, Little Miss Sunshine, American Beauty, Amazing Grace, and 40 Year Old Virgin are some good films I've seen in the last year.

The Office and The Daily Show are pretty darn funny although I don't get much of a chance to watch TV.
