hittin' up a meeting, chillin with my girls, sketching, listening to music, and playing on my new mac
ghandi, mother theresa, and kurt vonegut, and biggie. no stalkers or creepy weirdos, please.
I am feelin old school rythem and blues right now. Ray Charles in his early years has saved my soul. I like Mr. Charles loud, with lots of brassy horns and a mean piano... and I like him on repeat. Amy Winehouse is also a terrific new find. Anything with a deep bass and a hot beat. 1990-1995 gave me Biggie, Nas, JZ, Beastie Boys, craig mack, busta, Method Man... What else? I have always loved a good old fashioned country love song. I love the Dixie Chicks, Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisely, Carrie Underwood, Kenny Rogers, Willie Neslson, Jonny Cash, the list can go on.... Folk music... like Dar Williams, Catie Curtis, James Taylor and the indigo girls... I love Radiohead in their early years, same for Dave Matthews. I love the classics like frank sinatra, or Harry Belafonte. I love this french singer named Edith Piaf who gives me the chills everytime I hear her sing. I like Nick Drake, Elliot Smith, Tom Waits, D'angelo, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Nina Simone, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Fiona Apple....Baisically anything with a good melody or beat and must have worthwhile lyrics...uch, this is too hard. i love a lot of music, i would say most anything excluding bands like tool, metallica, korn, and any other group that screams into the microphone.
another vast category, anything with will ferrell, mafia movies, anything done by tarantino, kevin smith, Guy ritchie or ghristopher guest. if i had to specify a couple of good ones: the goonies, shawshank redemption, old school, the godfather and goodfellas, scent of a woman, best in show, noises off, the ususal suspects, and wildcats...thats enough listing, you get the picture.
mtv junkie, vh1's i love the 90's, bet, project runway, the wire, hbo on demand...
