My Interests

Music, Film, Music, Politics, Music, Religion, Music, Travel, Music, Graphics, Music and - oh, I almost forgot ... Music.

I'd like to meet:

LIVING: uh ... Oprah? DECEASED: John Lennon, Martin Luther King, Jr., Jesus (to ask him what he thinks of all the idiots claiming to be Christians out there) ... that might be it.

Music:

Well the top two are for sure The Beatles and XTC - after that in no particular order are Wilco, Spoon, Foo Fighters, Jen Trynin (WHY wasn't this woman a friggin' star???), M.I.A., Fountains of Wayne, Steve Earle (The revolution starts NOW), Richard Thompson, Nick Drake, Radiohead, Martin Grech (WHY isn't this guy available in the U.S.??),Tenacious D, The Grays, Jason Falkner, Jon Brion, The Bears, Old 97's, Cotton Mather, Mike Doughty (and Soul Coughing, of course), Hot Hot Heat, Damien Rice, Weezer, Cheap Trick, The Darkness, Owsley, Chris Knight, The Good Listeners, the new Belle & Sebastian, The Ditty Bops, The Autumns and Dresden Dolls and reaching back into my past ... Aerosmith, Blue Oyster Cult, Genesis (before Peter Gabriel left), David Bowie, Grand Funk Railroad, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, Queen, Allman Brothers, The Ramones - plus 100's more I'm forgetting right now.

Movies:

Dr. Strangelove (or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb), A Clockwork Orange, The Elephant Man, To Kill A Mockingbird, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, Punch Drunk Love, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Monty Python's Holy Grail, Trainspotting, Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Out of Sight, Almost Famous, City of Lost Children, Amelie, The Haunting (the original - not the piece of crap by Jan De Bont, The Changeling, Grey Gardens, Searching for Bobby Fischer, Network, Patton, most Hitchcock films ... stay tuned for other titles as I think of them and/or see them.

Television:

The Office (the BBC version with Ricky Gervais - okay and the U.S. version now, too), AbFab, Spaced (FINALLY out on DVD in the U.S. on 22 July 2008 - GO BUY IT!), The League of Gentlemen, Little Britain, Fawlty Towers, Lost, travel shows about Europe (particularly Ireland & the UK) ... uh, what else?

Books:

The Road by Cormac McCarthy, A Conderacy of Dunces, Animal Farm, Cat's Cradle, The Shining (you gotta have at least 1 Stephen King book on the list), The Hobbit (never made it through LOTR - thank goodness for the movies), Fast Food Nation... I know there's more than this - isn't there?

Heroes:

Hmm - that's a tough one. Any corporate whistle blower or person who stands up to expose corporate or government corruption and all-around wrongdoing. We need SO many more of you!!!
