Sure. Lots of it....
I like music that conveys a passion. I listen to lots of genres.
Mostly experimental electronics old and new from what they used to call IDM to the so called Avantgarde, tons of Dubstep, some Breakcore (also from before it was called like that) & some experimental Hip Hop. Some Dancehall, much Ska&Roots Reggae, affiliated Jungle too.
If it's broken, chances are i like it :)
I can appreciate Mahler or Brahms at the right time. I like Debussy's work for oboe and harp very much.
I am about to learn to like guitars. I really like Velvet Undergroud, Tim Buckley, The Smiths and more already.
And I have a long-lasting love for early 90s rave sound. The stuff i started to dj
with. Klf, Altern8, Utah Saints ... etc.
Oh boy, lists do always look like they're supposed to be complete...
Not even my discogs collection is.
Labels i like:
City Centre Offices, DMZ, Dub Police, Hyperdub, Kool.Pop, Lux Nigra, Planet µ, Rephlex, Rump, Suburban Trash, Tectonic, Warp...
My main interest besides music.
I watch lots of those...from weird Asian (Miike, Suzuki, A. Kurosawa, Kitano, Ki-duk Kim...) over b/w European (Bergman (!), Resnais, Godard, Fellini, Atonioni ...) to the US more-or-less Independents (Lynch, Jarmusch, Coen, Allen...).
Some absolute favourites:
8 1/2, A Clockwork Orange, Badlands, Battle Royale, Belle de Jour, Dark Star, Dogville, Ecstasy of Angels, El Topo, Her Life to live, High and Low, La Notte, Lost in Translation, Last Year at Marienbad, Lucia y el sexo, Miller's Crossing, Monday, Mr. Hulot's Holiday, My Night at Maud..s, Persona, Requiem for a Dream, Solaris, Songs from the second Floor, Stardust Memories, Storytelling, The Holy Mountain, The Passion of Joan of Arc, The Wild Bunch, THX 1138, Uzumaki, Wild Strawberries...
Sucks here these days.
Nevertheless I do, and did have favourite shows:
Family Guy, Future Boy Conan, Futurama, Galactica, Harald Schmidt Show, Looney Tunes (basically Coyote and Pepe Le Pew),, Serial Experiments Lain, Sherlock Holmes (BBC), South Park, Spielhaus, That 70s Show, The Muppet Show, The Sopranos, The Simpsons (up to a point)...
Apart from that I can spend hours watching sports on TV.
