From DJ Qbert and Ornette Coleman to Converge, Lightning Bolt, and the Boredoms: gimme loud fast weird cerebral heavy creepy rad BEAUTIFUL transcendent freakouts. Currently enjoying: turntablist champions, Indian tabla drumming, spazzy progcore/math rock, deep massive dub, the New Folk Primitivism, droning ambient soundscapes, and the Fucking Champs.
The Decline Of Western Civilization. The original Willy Wonka movie. The totally awesome We Jam Econo. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Cinema Paradiso. Kurosawa's "Dreams". The Tao Of Steve. Documentaries. Short films on YouTube. Animation. Concert films. Etc etc blah blah blah.
TELEVISION = SATAN
Yes, I do believe I'll have another. And another. And another after that.Natural history, philosophy, Buddhism, essays and creative nonfiction, poetry, how-to/DIY manuals, science writing, music/art/literary criticism, history, biography, memoir, the odd bit of science fiction, the classics, and regional literature of the Rocky Mountains and Southwest. And that's just the beginning of my list.
All my heroes have FBI files.
