I'm a musical populist and a snob all at once. I like lots of different stuff. I've had gigantic record collections. I go through phases. Music can be reflective of my mood or dictate it. I hate mediocrity. I don't care if it's awfully beautiful or beautifully awful but commit to something. Don't pansy out in the middle of the road. If you end up there, it's time to hang it up.
I am on fire for netflix. Here's a list of the last ten movies I watched:Wings Of Desire, V For Vendetta, I Am Legend, Noam Chomsky: Rebel Without A Pause, Another State Of Mind, No Country For Old Men, The Good Shepherd, Bush's Brain, Night Of The Lepus, and Jesus Camp.
I watch TV on DVD. Recently I discovered Weeds, a Showtime series about a weed dealing suburban widow. It's pretty fun. Current faves also include Deadwood and The Wire. Sci-Fi favorites are Star Trek(OS, TNG, and DS9), Babylon 5, Firefly, and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
I just finished "Spook Country" by William Gibson. I wish that I could say that I lurved it but I can't. It just didn't have the pull of his other works. It's not a bad book just not quite up to par with The Sprawl Trilogy or the Bridge Trilogy.I have started the collected Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy novels by Douglas Adams
Steve Olson, Tony Alva, Salba and all the other OG Punk Skate Thugs that blazed the trail for the rest of the world to follow. Iggy, The Ramones, Bill Monroe, Neal Stephenson, Noam Chomsky, Nelson Mandela. Anyone with the balls to live outside the mainstream without regrets.
