Apart from music I'm currently hooked on CivilizationIV...
To name a few favourites I haven't played with: Depeche Mode, Bach, the Beatles, Eggstone, Chet Baker, Shostakovich... (of course most of them are dead...)
"as good as it gets", "the big lebowski", "the sting"
mostly Simpsons and Family Guy...
I read quite a lot but I don't have any particular favourites.
There are a lot of people who influence me in my music-making by doing great work but I don't have any particular heroes or rolemodels, maybe that would be a good thing.
