ahem, the mother hips. the noisettes, the moulettes, mystery jets, "m", beirut (oh goodness, how i LOVE beirut), owen pallet, andrew bird, M. Ward, PSAPP, tunng, the avett brothers, and spoon. not excluding beatmakers like blackalicious, the roots (?uestlove), ratatat, thievery corporation, blockhead, bay root, RJD2, bonobo, General Elektriks, and generally anything on ninjatune.net. plus, the occasional snooky pryor, nina simone...and while we're at it, it's time to emerge from the pop culture closet...justin timberlake, fuck yeah.
dichotomous. i tend to like the old school black and whites like EAST OF EDEN or the more modern twisted ones like SECRETARY and DANGEROUS LIVES OF ALTER BOYS.
i consider it absolutely worthwhile to invest in a year's worth of cable simply to watch the discovery channel, most specifically MAN VS. WILD. oh, bear grylls.
anything by John Steinbeck, particularly EAST OF EDEN. oh, and this whole dave eggers counter-culture HEARTBREAKING WORK OF STAGGERING GENIUS thing, i absolutely love it. its bred a whole variety of authors like zadie smith who i adore.
