Shampoo, especially French Shampoo.
Third culture kids, creatives, journeymen (and women), circus freaks, psycho bunnies, wikked femmes, style whores and fashionistas, wandering bartenders, gun runners, DJ's, mafiosos, divas, rich gurus, poor gurus, posers, junkies, taxi drivers, embassy guards, born again priests, fallen priests, tribal chefs, anti-poachers and whirling dervishes
Deep and dirty house music that makes you shut your eyes, grin wickedly and shake your ass with your closest crew. DNB when it's transient and uplifting like LTJ Bukem (especially when MC'ed by Conrad), todo la musica latina, 50's~60's jazz (Brubeck, Miles, Coltrane), I worship Cal Tjader, Classical & Opera, 1930's Cowboy country (WTF?), jazzy big band and soulful divas, African (Ali Farka Toure, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Cesaria Evora)
The one where protagonist #4 meets antagonist #7 , there's a gun and hilarity ensues.
The one where Wile E. Canis latrans chases Geococcyx californianus and invariably the anvil ends up as his hat. Such pathos.
The ones with cleverly folded pictures that pop up and teach you how to pee / sit on a 2 legged chair / eat through your ears
