what do you got?
you, but i'd never admit it. not in a million years. unless you just stopped beating around the bush for one damn second.
bowie, bubblegum pop (from the archies classical period to the spice girls renaissance), ben folds, bishop allen, tom waits, jenny lewis, dan bern, mike doughty (with and without soul coughing), the clash, belle & sebastian, the pixies, and chin music.
top 5, no order: ghostbusters, godfather, jaws, crimes & misdemeanors, dr. strangelove, bridge on the river kwai, broadcast news, brick, real life, kicking & screaming (baumbach, not ferrell), fight club, niagara niagara, singing in the rain, once upon a time in the west. trainspotting, charade, hudsucker proxy, iron giant, stuff w/zombies, jurassic park
deadwood, freaks and geeks, buffy, west wing (sorkin only), the office, kids in the hall, mr. show, spaced, sports night, deadwood, knowing me, knowing you.
yes! carter beats the devil, stark's parker books, chabon's the best, lethem, eggers and his literatti posse, jerry stahl, mark leyner. moon palace and the non-metaphysical detective auster, travels with charley by steinbeck. viva chandler. thompson, hornby, irving. who do you like? i'll read 'em. i'm a bit of a book nerd. don't get me wrong. i like sedaris all right, but he doesn't make the list. he is to my generation what harry potter is to the kids. i like that they get us reading, but there's more out there. that said, his story about the anne frank house is worth all the hype.
just for one day
