Music, photography, film, art, glass, Japan, honesty, passion, justice, beauty, traveling; honest ugliness, fucking with people's dishonest ugliness, living well regardless; food (sushi & pizza are faves!), good liquor & stuff. Dancing's fun too.
Honesty. Loud quiet. People whose eyes tell real stories. Other artists & creatives. Other flirts and people who get it. People in love with being / becoming themselves. People who love laughter. People who risk. People who see bullets for George. (And other liars, fratboys, hypocrites, bigots...)
jass, rock, rap, ol' school country/swing/honky-tonk, electro-clash, punk, new-wave, post-wave/post-punk.... music that rocks. Not in a rock genre sense per se, but in a fucking ROCKs sense - honest, rebellious, passionate, real. People who have "something to say" -- music that makes you feel something-- anything (but preferably sadness, happiness, restlessness, or comfort): Mancini, Coltrane, Pixies, Hank, ghetto boys, Serge Gainsbourg, pistols, VU, ramones, peaches, joy division, iggy/stooges, Chopin, Mingus, Waits, Young, Cure, Mozart, Public E, Adam Ant, Ladytron, Pogues... too many to list - why are they mostly not on radio?
