Swollen Members. Sigur Ros. Sheer Terror. Op Ivy. Motorhead. Broken Social Scene. Cibo Mato. Nick Drake. I could go on and on.

Books:

Heroes:

Those who take their own route to obtain inner happiness, be it by saving the world or being a ski bum. It's not always easy to disregard social pressures to find your own way. Those who achieve this are whom I most look up to.
