I'd like to meet:
You. I just want to meet you. That's why I started this whole thing. Just for you... Xxx
Music:
Music. Just music, that's it. Flaming Lips, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Raveonettes, Serge Gainsbourg. Franz. PJ, (always). The Knife, (songs from abroad that kept me alive). Beck, old and new, (Sea Change is the saddest break-up album of all times). Kings of Leon, (how can you resist a baby pink drum kit!) Fabienne Delsol. Velvet Underground. Beasties. Beatles. The Panics. The Dandy's, (Courtney, what's up with naming two of your own albums in your all time top ten, pretty good albums though). Bowie. Pixies. Detroit Cobras. Radiohead. Nirvana. Cut Copy. The Presets. Postal Service. Halogen. The Sleepy Jackson. Lil Birdy. We Are Scientists. TV on the Radio. TV on the Radio. TV on the Radio. Bloc Party. More, many more...
Movies:
Just watched "The Squid and the Whale" I thought that was genius! Loved it. Also watched the directors cut of "The Big Blue" and my thoughs are that I'm glad Luc Besson cut that shit out of the original! La Femme Nikita & Leon were fantastic. Rushmore & Royal Tenenbaums. Wes Anderson is genius. I pretty much can watch anything with Owen Wilson, (except that one with Eddie Murphy, that was crap!) Annie Hall. Woody is the man, don't care bout his personal business. Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowski, Fargo. The Cohen Bros are great. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Sam Rockwell and George Clooney are both awesome. Movies...I've seen lots of them. Some I liked. Some I did not like. I suppose that's just life really...
Television:
Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld, (Larry David is comic genius). Sopranos. CSI, Law & Order, (I just can't turn it off once they start, I need to know how it ends, and it's usually very badly).
Books:
Paul Auster is certainly in my 'Top Three Authors, All Time' category. Moon Palace was fantastic. Right now I am reading "What I Loved" by Siri Hustvedt. The Guardian Weekly calls it, "A big, wide, sensuous novel - clever, sinister, yet attractively real." I would say, so far it's pretty damn good. Yep, O.k. have finished the afore mentioned book and it is fantastic. Think I might have liked to have been born Paul Auster and Siri Hustvedt's love child. Maybe they could adopt me...? Now re reading Catcher in the Rye. It's an annual thing for me
Heroes:
"Love is not something you can put chains on and throw into a lake. That's called Houdini. Love is liking someone a lot." I love this one! Yes, not a hero, I know, but a good one indeed.
