Playing rock'n'roll, cooking great meals for me and my close ones, playing records, being bad
Dunno... cool people who are easy to respect and connect with I guess...
Rock'n'roll, soul, rock-a-billy, garage/beat, 70's punk(preferably Swedish!) - anything that has soul and manages to get it through. My taste is absolutely objective ;-) If I like something it's because it's good. I am always right.

Old-school sci-fi, horror, monsters, gangsters, Hong Kong, late 60's/70's, all the good stuff. All time faves includes Head, The Wild Bunch, Barbarella, Them!, The Day The Earth Stood Still, King Kong, Spider Baby, Apocalypse Now, Forbidden Planet, Re-Animator + I'm completely hooked on old cliffhanger series like Undersea Kingdom, Flash Gordon, The Phantom Creeps etc
Right now? Nothing really. I still watch that fuckin thing when I'm tired though or when a good movie's on. 'Stones I Malmö' is the best thing I've seen all year though. Documentary based on an old super 8 film from a party the Stones attended in '65 when they were there. Otherwise I'm waiting for Carnivale season 2 to come to Sweden... damn shame HBO pulled the plug on it after two seasons - it's the best thing they ever did IMO.
Avid reader of biographies, sci-fi, anything as long as I dig it - must always have a book or two to read... Pick of the decade: Nick Tosches' Jerry Lee biography, "Hellfire".
Don't really know what that is... I admire people like Roky, Skip Spence, Jeff Conolly, who just follow their vision regardless of consequences like mental illness, drug dependency and ultimately death. Wouldn't like to call'em "heroes" though - but that absolute drive is something I find very refreshing and inspirational in a world full of bland, meaningless idiots and jerks. Maybe Nick Tosches is a hero. Great writer, mad, alive and well. I hope.
