Bruce Springsteen, U2, Hootie and the Blowfish, Sister Hazel, The Postal Service, Kylie Minogue, Billy Joel, Miles Davis, as long as it is catchy I will at least listen once.
Wow that is tough, anything with John Cusack, especially when he is the anti-hero. Anything by Cameron Crowe is always cool, LA Confidential, Hitchcock films, Night of the Hunter (anyone who has heard of this movie gets major credibility), the Original Manchurian Candidate, Ocean's Eleven, Super Troopers, and as of late Garden State, arguably the greatest film to be made about my generation to this date. Also, I like Fever Pitch, mostly because I am in it :)
Not too much interests me lately, I love Scrubs, Lost, Heroes, Studio 60, Simpsons, Rescue Me, Family Guy, My Name is Earl and 24.
Anything by Michael Crichton, JK Rowling, Patricia Cornwell, David Baldacci, and James Patterson. Love Catcher in the Rye, the Iceman Cometh (if you count plays), Mystic River, Contact, and occaisionally Tom Clancy.
