Cooking, music, making sophomoric short films, drinking wine, dog collecting, playing tennis, running, exploring Los Angeles, eating cheese. In addition to the usual busting heads and breaking hearts.
Independent thinkers. Raucous and irreverent types. Those who are honest, conscientious and self-aware. Those who understand the necessity of occasional indulgence. People who are passionate about something. People who are confident about what they should be confident about and are respectful of that which they know little.
The Shins, Titanica, Bread, Big Star, XTC, Detroit Cobras, Interpol, Boston, Grandaddy, Buck Owens, Arcade Fire, Elvis Costello, Elliott Smith, The Hives, Echo and the Bunnymen, Roxy Music, The Cars, The Zombies, Radiohead, Faces, Scud Mountain Boys, Built to Spill, the Arcade Fire to name a few. Classics like Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, The Clash, The Kinks and The Rolling Stones. I've been listening to that new M. Ward and I like it. Plus, he is impressive live. And not to sound pretentious, but I really love Glenn Gould's playing. But it totally freaks me out when I hear this grunting and whatnot in the room while he's playing and I look around to see what ghost is haunting me only to realize that it's just Gould's "artistic expression" going on. I mean, what a weirdo.
Modern Japanese movies, old Chinese martial arts movies, movies made by Polish perverts who live in France, American movies made by scrawny, bespectacled film nerds, zombie movies, Dumbo.

I like F. Scott Fitzgerald, Philip K. Dick, Raymond Chandler and Chris Ware.
Meh.
