Music:
powered by frazy.com I guess my tastes are constantly changing. It's tough to describe my favorites. I grew up on punk rock like a lot of my friends, and was lucky to be in Boston which had a great scene and a lot of live shows. Later in life I started developing an interest in the Irish music I used to hear around my grand parents' when I was a kid, which lead to me playing drums in a ton of various Irish bands which I still do. Think The Pogues, or Flogging Molly for starters. I've also played with some awesome Irish alt rock outfits. Lately I've been listening to a lot of Reggae. At times it's old metal. Sometimes it's alt country bluegrass, or rockabilly, or new wave, or old jazz, or surf, or conscious hip hop. My ipod has schizophrenia and I like it that way.
Movies:
How about a little Stacy Peralta tribute: Dogtown and Z-Boys, Riding Giants, and of course Lords of Dogtown were all awesome. So were the bones brigade videos way back when. High Fidelity would make my top five, The Departed was everything a movie should be, Good Fellas, The Shawshank Redemption, Old School, The Indiana Jones movies, Stargate, Beat Street! , Buena Vista Social Club, Almost Famous, Singles is one of my favorites, Dazed and Confused, Office Space, The Big Lebowski, Amelie was gorgeous, True Romance, Lost Boys, Mall Rats, Grosse Point Blank, Europa Europa, I still like watching Point Break, Agent Utah.
Television:
The Wire, Dexter, Weeds, the Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Deadwood, Entourage, Family Guy, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Lately anything involving cooking has me all wrapped up. Seriously, I'll watch that stuff for hours. It's like morphine for me. Mostly the networks are pretty damn bad. I try not to just turn on the tv and surf around. I'd rather choose some really great show that I love, or do something else entirely. It seems strange to me that tv seems to have become so bad for the most part, while at the same time producing a small handful of shows that are absolutely brilliant. Rangy, huh?
Books:
Catch a Fire, The Life of Bob Marley, Cash by Johnny Cash, American Hardcore, Please Kill Me, Prey, Cat's Cradle, Three Can Keep a Secret If Two Are Dead, No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs - John Lydon's Autobiography, Siouxie and the Banshees authorised biography, Freakonomics. I guess I'm a big non-fiction guy. Maybe someone could suggest some fiction I might like. I'm open to it. Ahh, yes, I've been meaning to finish King's Dark Tower Series, which I loved as a kid. That's like, four books on my to do list right there.
Heroes:
"No more heroes anymore" -The Stranglers
