Music:

Bands/artists I like include

The Beatles Bob Dylan The White Stripes Led Zeppelin Queen Jimi Hendrix The Rolling Stones Pink Floyd Nirvana The Who The Velvet Underground David Bowie Arcade Fire The Beach Boys Bob Marley and the Wailers The Clash The Cure Guns N' Roses AC/DC Kings Of Leon Smashing Pumpkins

There're probably obvious ones that I missed out. I'm currently trying to listen to as much new stuff as possible, trying to get over to Glasgow for gigs etc. so if anyone has any recommendations, let me know.

Movies:

I like movies. Lots of movies. Some of the movies I like are Star Wars (all of them, even the new ones that a lot of people think are rubbish), Indiana Jones, Goodfellas, This Is Spinal Tap, Shaun of the Dead, Tarantino films, Fight Club, Back to the Future Trilogy, and hundreds of other ones I'm forgetting right now because it's late and I should be asleep.

Television:

The Mighty Boosh. Funniest. Thing. Ever.

I like a lot of comedy programs actually, like Peepshow, League of Gentlemen, I'm Alan Partridge, The Day Today, Brass Eye, Spaced, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, Father Ted, Black Books, Family Guy, Futurama, The Simpsons.

I also like a lot of stand up comedy, particularly Bill Bailey, Dylan Moran, Eddie Izzard, Billy Connolly and Harry Hill.

Books:

I was given the Book of Bunny Suicides for Christmas. It was funny. I'm currently in the process or reading a whole bunch of Star Wars EU books. If you know what the "EU" stands for then you're probably as cool as I am.
The last two things I read before that were a Bob Dylan biography and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, both of which were very good. In fact I'd go as far as to say that Hitchhiker's Guide was probably even funnier than the Book of Bunny Suicides. And that's saying something.
