Music:

buzzcocks, television personalities, factory records, the velvet underground, the raincoats, jesus and mary chain, the slits, x-ray spex, pylon, delta 5, the homosexuals, modern lovers, young marble giants, rolling stones, blah blah blah. but for some reason, my ipod only wants to play the magnetic fields and guided by voices. oh, and this too:

Movies:

Television:

arrested development, 90210 (brenda years), strangers with candy, da ali g show, six feet under, antiques roadshow, the office (both), the wire, deadwood

Books:

the official scrabble players dictionary (3rd ed.), anglo-american cataloging rules 2 (1998 ed.), from roller derby to roller jam: the authorized history of an unauthorized sport, the corrections, phoebe gloeckner, the believer, lolita, the master and margarita, a fan's notes, daniel clowes, the essays and short stories of DFW, anything by lorrie moore. and it almost goes without saying, BUTT, my current guilty pleasure:

Heroes:

In the eighteenth century, it was common practice for small groups of well-to-do Southern women to each lift up their corsets and "queef" at their leisure on warm, summer afternoons. Typically performed on balconies or porches, these women would insert various large objects in their TOOTS and slowly pull them out to create the desired sound. These "porch parties" would provide hours of fun for the ladies while the men were away, and, from a practical standpoint, at times, enough air circulation as a respite from the brutal summer heat. Small wagers were often placed with the winner going to longest continuous queef, highest pitch, lowest pitch, smelliest, and wettest. There was also the queef sing-a-long; and a special prize was given to any women whose queef could attract wildlife.
