Camping, hiking - any out-to-nature-to-rejuvenate stuff. Eddie Izzard. Mitch Hedberg. Cate Blanchett.
Edie and Twiggy.
Roy Lictenstein.
Language - written, spoken, foreign, blah-blah-blah....
Hip Pop.
I love bad puns. So I read lots of Entertainment Weekly. It'd be fun to write for them, and even better I'd jump to work writing dialogue or skits for Conan or Stewart.
~ Groovy loving Vibes ~ I'm fascinated with Pietism and similar groups trying to develop real caring and neigborly communities. I wish they were more visible and numerous. And popular and booming somewhere besides later-day Germany...
History. Especially cultural and artistic history. Art - Roy Lichtenstein, Vasarely, Wang Yigang, Wang Guangyi, Van (ear)Gone, and lots of independents / unknowns too numerous to track, sadly.
The Far Side; Bloom County.
Loving visuals, I'm really into good (or bad, yet odd or off the wall) movies. Especially when the soundtrack backs up the rest accordingly :)
Mod style / furniture / deco of the 60's-mid 70's.
Thunderstorms.
Tokyo. Hong Kong. The UK. Greece . . . Shawerma, pita, and hummus (TONY'S DELI ON N. MILLS ~ Represent).
Austrailia and New Zealand. The Himalayas. The Amazon. Angel Falls. All beautiful and exotic locations that look like they must be works of God.
Ferrets.
Foxes.
Other cool / furry / frisky animals.
All pop culture / comic / music / film / retard fans.... or just really nice, cool people.
Go-Go hotties who Glow in the Dark.
Or perhaps a harem of smiling Japanese babes hoisting parasols; they would not be bad to meet...
Er, seriously, Uma Thurman, Cate Blanchett, Natalie Portman. Beautiful and smart.
..
Madeline Kahn, Holly Hunter and Judy Tenuta crack me up ~ Beautiful and hilarious!
~ Holly, making mirthful in "A Life Less Ordinary" ~
Any one of those three would surely be more fun than 99% of the Maxim girls out there...
I'd like to meet some of my favorite authors. It'd be cool to talk junk with Rowling, Bradbury, or Braunbeck.
William would be cool to hang out with in the studio for a few hours, just so he could blow my ears off right in front of me...
Gettin down to it... God would kinda take the first spot.
Pretty much everybody cool through time - Jesus, Ghandi, Martin Luther & the early German Pietists, MLK, Akbar the Great, Hammurabi, Einstein, Mel Blanc . . . well; everyone, actually. I really like people.
You, if we haven't already . . .
New York, London, Paris, Munich....
I was partial to proto-electro as a young buck; nobody had to push it on me! The first album I begged my parents for was "THE MUSIC OF STAR WARS: by The Electric Moog Orchestra".
"NOT the Original Soundtrack...."
Heh. I loved that shiite even more than Mr. William's original score ...
My earliest musical hero - pictured here where I caught him; Tommorowland Terrace, circa 79:
He gigged there for about three years and I insisted on eating there to hear him every visit . . . Thank you, Mr. Iceberg.
As for the rest of the musical palette, almost any original and creative sound can get under my skin.
Classical, the "three B's": Bizet, Brahms, and Ludwig Von. Wagner, Rossini, and others are cool as well.
The Balanescu Quartet are my favorite fourth stringers.
Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares rule. Apparently VAST couldn't agree more, since they sample the shiite outta 'em.
60's Motown acts, various pscyh-pop from the 60s (think Insence and Peppermints or Lizard King style), lots of alterna-jangle-pop, and lots of electronic-flavored stuff - downtempo, acid jazz, electro, shoegaze-filtered fuzz, etc.
Film scores that own:
- John Williams' scores (SW, Raiders, and HP); Vangelis (Chariots of Fire, Blade Runner); Howard Shore (LOTR, particularly The Two Towers); Brad Fiedel (Johnny Mnemonic, Terminator).
Music.
Words.
Images.
All ever-intertwined. All of equal import - if you ask my opinion :)
Musical flavors of the day:
Most 80's wave & pop, like Talk Talk, ABC, That Petrol Emotion, Adam & the Ants, Vicious Pink, etc.

Films with faves Uma Thurman, Cate, and Holly usually rule; Milla Jovovich proved to me I like her in films despite her acting "skills" . . . Ewan MacGregor, Adrien Brody, & Ed Norton films usually own.
A personal thank you for films that leave quotes like this one:
"I'm a loner, Dottie . . . a rebel . . .
There are things you wouldn't know about me.
Things you couldn't know about me.
Things you shouldn't know about me."
"I remember . . . the Al-a-mo . . ."
most TV sucks, but there are gems:
Comedy Central: Daily Show, Trigger Happy TV, Reno 911
Retro TV - Lost in Space - In Search Of - Twilight Zone & Outer Limits
- History channel - Discovery Channel - National Geo Channel - TLC -
- Dead Like Me -
- Veronica Mars -
BUY YOUR FAVORITE BOOKS. DON'T STOP TILL YOU GET IT UP.
Many.
Authors are a start . . .
- Bradbury
- T.S. Eliot
- Shakespeare
- DeLillo
- Mr. Edgar Allan Poe
- Gaddis
- Alan Dean Foster
- Bartheleme
- Philip K. Dick
- Vonnegut
and finally Mr. Gary Braunbeck, author of:
REDEMPTION, INC.
This incredible story can be found in the SS collection "Future Net".
It has several other gems almost as good as "Redemption" in it's pages, check it out. Mr. Braunbeck also writes the freakiest ass "dark" fiction, such as "In Silent Graves." Kinda like taking horror and mind f***s and squishing them together, and pardon my French but that's the best way to describe it.
There's all types of heroes, like MOM and POP for starters...then there's the ones I aspire to be as creative, as smart, or just as cool as:
Mr. Blanc.
Bradbury.
Mr. Harris.
JK.
Einstein.
Mr. Zinzendorf.
Many of my "creative" heroes are dead (hang in there, Ray).
I wish I coulda met one or two of 'em. I'll save that for the afterlife, I guess
SUPER TYPES OF HEROES:
The peaceseekers that I mentioned on "Who I'd like to meet".
Anybody who perseveres through the thick and thin. Anybody with a Heart of Gold. Those are heroes in my book. That ain't no shiite, either . . .
