I'd like to meet:

*well, not everybody
If I don't accept your add, please don't take it personal. It's just that I'm looking for a little more cerebral sexuality tinged with smoldering artistic washes and sonic sensibilities. Your fake boobies and rock hard abs are sure to find admirers here among the 150 + million members. Best of luck in your search for friends and clients. The late Frank Herbert. Herman Hesse. Phyllis Diller, and oh, and I'd love to meet porky and buy him a pint for all his shiny stars.
Music:
Obsessed since 95ish or so with the entire genre and mythos of musics created from Hull---spawned from the pork recordings sty which has blossomed out over the years into many fertile groves. These are extremely inspiring takes on electronic rhythmic and melodic mediums. Fila Brazillia, The Solid Doctor, Mandrillus Sphynx, Bullitnuts, Leggo Beast , Baby Mammoth, Banabila, Momma Gravy, Dustin, Gerd, Heights of Abraham, 23online --Steel Tiger Recs---
also I'm really stimulated by repetition, i.e. Steve Reich, Terry Riley, Philip Glass, John Adams, et. al, I'm also a huge DUB HEAD and love a good electronic scorching as well as a roots spring chamber get down. I was raised on Willie Nelson and he and a few of the choice outlaws will always be in my crate. Love sound efx records and childrens' records. ECM label and other weird minimal jazzy atmospheric things. Karin Krog, John Surman, Bobo Stenson, Dave Holland, Steve Swallow. Mick Karn is a huge influence, Zappa, Alice Coltrane, Johnny Hartman. I also really seek out sounds that make my short hairs stand up, my internal goose bumps shiver and dawning alarmingly refreshing recognition, of welcome back, of, you've found me. ah oh also:
stereolab
monade
seely
IEP
erik satie

Movies:
I am a total sucker for a slick pad underneath a sad scene. I'll tear up like a babee. If it's just visuals with no sound,I could care less. but snag my heart with fake violins and I'm a boo hooer.
Television:
we have decided to get a vcr again and not pay for cable in our new place. Whatever comes in over the antenna. oh frick I just gave it to goodwill. well then whatever comes down the tinfoil.
Books:
I wish I could be in two places at once. In one, reality; the other, a plane of nothing but books and time. Lately I've been on a Ken Kesey kick, reading Demon Box and re-reading Sometimes A Great Notion for the fourth time. He has some other lesser known titles I have yet to find. Of poets I am enthralled by: Carolyn Forche, Robert Sund, William Stafford, Richard Hugo, James Masao Mitsui, Mark Halperin, Bill Ransom, Madeline DeFrees, Billy Collins, Michael Ondaatje, Tess Gallagher, Garrett Hongo, Hesse, David Romtvedt...
Heroes:
SEE: friends. many are close by.
