I grew up on everything from oldies to punk to classic rock so my tastes are all over the board. I love the Beatles and I love Elvis ( some say I am obsessed... does having a life size cut out of the King in your bedroom make you obsessed? )I love Buddy Holly, Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, BB King, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Joe Bonamassa, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin & Tom Petty.... I grew up on classic rock and punk/alternative, go figure.But I still love my Faith No More, Fugazi, 7 Seconds, The Bouncing Souls, Less Then Jake, Social Distortion, The Descendents, Pietasters, The Smiths, Morrissey, R.E.M, INXS, Old School Depeche Mode, The Cure, The Clash, The Slackers, Against Me, Bad Religion, Nerf Herder, LagWagon, Coldplay, Blondie, The Cars, Joy Division and many more.... Too many to name actually.
Mainly horror movies are what I watch and collect. I am a fan of Universal Monster films, Godzilla films, Planet of the Apes and of course National Lampoons European Vacation. The 80's made the best comedies. ** Here is a short list of some of my favorite directors ** George Romero, Fulci, Dario Argento, Robert Rodriguez, Q. Tarantino, John Carpenter, John Landis, Takashi Miike, Don Coscarelli, Larry Cohen, Tobe Hooper, Steven Spielberg, Wes Craven, David Lynch, David Cronenberg & Akira Kurosawa.
My must sees for the week are The Gilmore Girls, The Office, ER, Dexter & Masters Of Horror. The X-Files, MST3K, Home Movies, Dr. Katz and the original Twilight Zone are favorites of mine as well.
Any book by Art Bell, Richard Matheson, William S. Burroughs & Hunter S. Thompson. Any book featuring Alex Ross' Artwork - Kingdom Come & Peace on Earth are my favorites. Currently reading a new pickup - Last Train To Memphis & The Girl Next Door - Jack Ketchum - he is an incredible author.
