i am totally and utterly preoccupied with music. i grew up on heavy metal, discovered new wave, then punk, then rave, then hiphop, then back to anything that made me want to dance. i listen to many things but i adore electronic music the most.
my top three favorite songs of all time:
waterloo sunset: the kinks
bette davis eyes: kim carnes
scorpius: opel bastards
i think in terms of labels so here's a list to start: pigna, 7b, bunker, skam, onitor, blaou, kompakt, dance mania, ersatz audio, sender, playhouse, UR, invasion planete, rephlex, spezial material, warp, erkrankung durch musique, areal, bpitch, poker flat, viewlexx, toytronic, boxer, get physical, gomma.
in terms of genres: acid house, minimal synth, idm, electro, detroit techno, booty bass, ghetto tech, italo, disko and stuff with synthesizers.
carl finlow, plastique de reve, marco passarani, waterlilly.
michael haneke, wong kar-wai and wes anderson films, and if christian bale is in it, i will watch it. other than that, i have terrible taste in movies. i like sci-fi, zombies, scary children who want revenge, anything about the future, anything about the apocalypse and movies where they steal stuff.
reality tv addict. i'm sorry.
comic books and instruction manuals. books about typography, grafitti, music and art movements, travel, industrial design, tattoos, and mental diseases. philip k. dick. italo calvino.
adrian piper. vivienne westwood. detroit, MI.
