Technology, DJing, photography, art, books, science, electronics, Japanese food, pound shops, BMX, bowling, badminton, circuit bending, falling asleep with music on, brightly coloured trainers, standing in front of fan heaters, late night dancing establishments, learning things, making things, breaking things, not eating animals, anything involving music, remaining sane.
I'd like to meet:
Most folk. People with more limbs than they should have. People with an irrational fear of toothbrushes. Talking dogs.
Music:
What a horrid question to try and answer. I like an awful lot of things. Mainly in an electronic vein, but to say that would be limiting. Here's a random list of things/people I like: DJ Krush, Boards of Canada, Nick Drake, Autechre, distorted old rave tapes, Parliament, DJ Crystl, Req, Stone Roses, Atari Teenage Riot, Four Tet, Beastie Boys, CJ Bolland, Kool Keith, The Advent, Cinematic Orchestra, Modeselektor, weird Japanese nonsense, Pete Parsons, Beck, Photek, Luke Vibert, Prince, Ragga Twins, The Prunes, Underground Resistance, !!!, Top Buzz, Kold Sweat Recs, Bjork, Rage Against the Machine, Deadly Avenger, Mobb Deep, Thom Yorke, Future Sound of London, MoWax, Cylob, Tortoise, Pitman, Renegade Soundwave, Lou Rhodes, DJ Magic Mike, Can, Ed DMX, Headphone Science, Biz Markie, Rufige Kru, Spank Rock, Plaid, Bizzy B, Digital Underground, Kevin Saunderson, Wu-Tang Clan, The JBs, Mu, Quone, Gunshot, DJ Shadow, Breakestra, Vex'd, Joey Beltram, Basement Records, Portishead, Remarc, Zapp......... etc, etc. In general I must be fed crunchy drums to prevent hunger.
Movies:
Junk comedies, animations, foreign films, documentaries..... what springs to mind: Sin City, The Life Aquatic, Spirited Away (in fact any Studio Ghibli stuff), Eternal Sunshine, The Wedding Singer, Wildstyle, Blade Runner, City of God, Monty Python's Holy Grail, Scratch, assorted old rave videos + any Chevy Chase/Dan Akroyd/John Candy/Steve Martin films from the 80s. Ray Harryhausen movies and anything by Pedro Almodovar too.
Television:
I try to avoid it as much as possible. Our's is broken at the moment, phew! When it's not broken I like Futurama, plus any other well written comedies. Other than that, Top Gear and Grand Designs are about it. Evil flashing light box.
Books:
All time: Douglas Adams & Kurt Vonnegut. Currently: Haruki Murakami. Anyone who can make me both laugh and think. I'm always open to suggestions too (hint).
Heroes:
Whoever invents a working teleporter first. Not like the one in 'The Fly' mind. A decent one.
