Can you spot the REAL MCFLY?Yep, PEARL JAM IS THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD. Also, in case anyone was wondering, I am a HUGE fan of "TWIN PEAKS". This happens to be my Twin Peaks Character Counterpart:
You are the Giant. You're mysterious, benevolent,
and spooky as all get-out. Though you're
extremely wise, your cryptic demeanor unnerves
the hell out of folks. So does your bow tie.

Music:

Yes, music is vital to survival. Although I am passionate about all kinds of music, the following is a list of the ones that make me jump the highest.THE A-LIST: Pearl Jam, Radiohead, DEVO, U2, Huey Lewis and the News, The Beatles, Elton John, Neil Young, Oingo Boingo, Dinasour Jr., The Police, Johnny Cash and lots of instrumental soundtracks -- like those by John Williams, Danny Elfman, etc.THE NEW-FAVORITES: Interpol, Muse, The Arcade Fire, Death Cab For Cutie, Franz Ferdinand, The Postal Service.THE GULTY PLEASURES: Britney, Phil Collins, Hall and Oats...

Movies:

This list could go on forever, but I'll try to narrow it down to the films that really get my nads pumping. BACK TO THE FUTURE Trilogy, STAR WARS series , INDIANA JONES trilogy , Blue Velvet , Taxi Driver , THX 1138 , Duel , Frankenstein (1930's) , PSYCHO (1960) , Donnie Darko , Memento , American Psycho , Pee-Wee's Big Adventure HEAT

Television:

Twin Peaks , The Brady Bunch , 24 , Lost , Three's Company , The Twilight Zone , Alias , Arrested Development , Curb Your Enthusiasm , Nip/Tuck ( I guess I should say E.R. -- because I kind of work on it)

Books:

"A Clockwork Orange"... I love the movie and the book is even better. It's written in a language that doesn't really exist; a hybrid of English and Russian slang. Reading this book is like asking a redneck to interpret Shakespeare.... I mean that in the best way, because this book is so challenging to read that you feel rewarded when you're done.

Heroes:

Marty McFly
