meeting lovely, beautiful interesting and exciting people. being lazy in comfy old sofas with a good paper and a cups of coffee in any one of Kreuzberg cafe's in Berlin and watching the world go by when I should be working in my studio. also photography, mini-film-making, playing with garageband, idvd, iphoto, imovie... exploring Berlin, looking at art, cycling along the Paul-Linke canal and swimming/sauna at the Badeschiff. (Which has got to be THE best swimming pool in the world!) making patterns with the symbols on my keyboard like this:
..•*.o•*•...
and trippin' round the world... Just the usual really...

Enjoy!!
I'd like to meet:
I just want to meet loads more cool 'n' happening cats like the cool 'n' happening cats I already know.
Music:
So I also like: Part Chimp, The Kills, Striker, Rabies Babies, Sedaced, Hard Skin, Kiosk, Hands of the Wrong People, Hermann Dune, Hoover Pittman, Sweetheart of the Rodeo (all my friend's bands - and I know I forgot loads more)
Otherwise, I like to listen to everything from metal to punk to country to electronica to indie to blues to Kraut rock to prog rock, pop to unclassifiable.. etc etc etc. Far too many bands to mention by name and if I try and list them I won't be able to fall asleep for the next few weeks because I'll keep remembering another band I forgot... so... I'm avoiding the hardest question ever posed by mankind. Maybe one day soon when Ihave nothin' better to do I'll compile 'The List'. (I know, I know - this is a big lazy cop out).
*******update***** 3/07
Yo La Tengo totally rocked my boat recently. Currently listening to Smog and Lambchop alot.
Movies:
School of Rock, Whale Rider, Solino, L'Amore Di Un Padre, Big Fish, all Alejandro Gonzales films, Kill Bill 1 & 2, Fahrenheit 9/11, Coffee and Cigarettes... again I see a lot of films, too many to mention... my favourite movie of all time? Paris Texas. Every scene is perfectly composed like a painting. So is Lost Book Found by Jem Cohen.
