Thanks to my father, music has always been an important component of my life, especially reggae. I highly recommend the music of Blackfire. Bob Marley, The Beatles, Janis Joplin, Modest Mouse, The Shins, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Orange Tree, Swift Kixx, Q and not U, Bob Dylan, Santana, U Roy, The Itals, Pinchers, Midnight, Beres Hammond, Barrington Levy, Keith Secola, Jim Boyd, System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine, Buffy St. Marie, The Decemberists, Jimi Hendrix, Outkast, Ludo, Viva Voche, The Start, Goldfinger, Nelly, pretty much anything except bubblegum pop and country, with Johnny Cash being the exception to the rule.
Smoke Signals, The Art of Fancy Dancing, Amelie, Dance Me Outside, Benny & Joon, Donnie Darko, Cheech & Chong movies crack me up, Rockers, The Motorcycle Diaries, O Brother Where Art Thou?, Life is Beautiful,
I'm not really into TV.
Anything Sherman Alexie ever touched! Isabel Allende, Siddhartha, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Folk Tales of any kind, The Diary of Che Guevara, John Steinbeck, Tennesse Williams, Where the the Wild Things Are, The Art of Zen and Motorcycle Maintenance... There's so much more...
