Being home with my girl.
I would like to meet the person that is going to give me a huge budget lighting design for a bad ass band, pay me tons of cash, and work just enough that I'm not bored, and not too much that I don't get burned out!
To list them all seems to be a daunting task. This list will also be in no particular order.... EELS , Flaming Lips , Janes Addiction, Johny Cash, Hank I II III, Sonic Youth, egYpt, Shellac, Stiff Little Fingers, The Allmighty, The Jesus Lizard, Butthole Surfers, Dropkick Murphys, Oh Beast, Trail of Dead, Apollo Up, Trauma Team , Ricky Warwick , AC/DC, Willie Nelson, Def Leppard , Swindlers, Black Crowes, Radiohead, Tom Waites, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The Toadies, Burden Brothers , Tia Carrera, Minor Threat, Agent Orange, Free Kitten, The Reverend Horton Heat, Moby,On Command, Wilco, Jayhawks,Blur, Gorillaz, Neil Young, David Gray, De La Soul, Dinosaur Jr., Son Volt, Nick Drake, Can, Iggy Pop, Bowie, the Cure, New Order, Stray Cats, Social Distortion, White Stripes, Old 97's, Stereolab, Thursday, MC5, The Darkness, Weezer, Tenatious D, Bad Wizard, Cake, Honky, Fuck Emos, Voltage...the list can just go on and on. I think that anyone reading this list pretty much has the idea.
Another place for a stupid list... Hedwig and the Angery Inch, Fight Club, Fast Times, Spinal Tap, Waking Life, Bottle Rocket, Roadside Prophits, Resivoir Dogs, Dog Town and Z Boys, Amelie, North Shore, Thrashin, Beat Street, Apocolipse Now, High Fidelity, Rushmore, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Heathers, Lost in Translation, Rocky Horror Picture Show, American History X, Zoolander, Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, Vulgar, Clerks, Mall Rats, CQ, Virgin Suicides, Suburbia, Spun, Donnie Darko, mushy movies that girls have made me watch that I don't want to admit to, Being John Malkovich, The Last Picture Show, Office Space... I have grown tired of this list.
That box with the pictures and sound that come out of it.
Chuck Palahniuk, Hunter S. Thompson, Nick Hornby, Irvine Welsh, Neal Pollack, Jerry Stahl, and a few other authors that I can't think of at this moment. I also like non-fiction books on subjects that interest me.
I'm not much of a hero type person.
