pixies, eno, vu, sonic youth, cornelius, mahavishnu orchestra, joan jett, lots of trash-rock, crosby, stills and nash and sometimes the neil young. Josh turned on Jacky to Prisoners who turned me on. Mon husbands bands - HRLIC plus The Makes Nice, plus nicey peeeeeeples Von Iva, Drunk Horse, Comets on Fire, Night After Night. I like ridiculous flowery psych - July, Tomorrow and Kaleidescope. I don't know. I really really really hate everything that they play at my gym. They play Usher 50 times in 1 hour and I don't even know how that's possible, but it must be true.
Paul Morrissey's "AndyWarhol's Blood for Dracula" and "Flesh for Frankenstein" - Udo Kier is the best. He is ridiculous and hysterical and amazingly sweet and pathetic and profound all at the same time. Roman Polanski's Cul-de-Sac is the most underrated thriller ever. I also love anything that Jacques Tati is in, including the much celebrated "Mon Oncle", but "Playtime" is an incredible film, not just for its choreography but for it's sound editing and cinematography and composition.
Arrested Development, Lost, and I have to admit watching America's Funniest Videos whenever it is on - even the Saget years.
I don't know. I just plowed through Gravity's Rainbow, and found it pretty dense, mind crushingly boring in long sections, but then facinating in the complexity of its' structure. I like Boorstein's The Discoverers. Overarching historiographies appeal to me I guess. I recently read Michael Lynch's biography of Mao, which was very interesting, and I'm making a little reading tour of communist figures by following it up with John Lee Anderson's painstakingly researched "Che", and that I cannot reccomend enough - so yeah.
