i love atonal and dissonant classical music, particularly russian composers from last century, britten and bartok; glitch and circuitbending, and have a serious, almost apology-inducing love of bass-y UK garage, breakbeat and DnB.
i sing tenor (damn right) in a classical choir; play guitar; was a piano prodigy for 10 minutes in the third grade; and am teaching myself cello - a long and laborious project to say the least.
i can play damn near anything by ear.
my parents piped in "Dark Side of the Moon" to me in utero when i was a fetus. the rest is history.

my absolute favorite: city of god.
by the way, i know all the words to both dazed and confused and the sound of music, which makes me a very well balanced creature.
nascar. globetrekker. old heehaw episodes. from the top on PBS. the office (UK). extras. arrested development. (if anyone knows where i can get a stair car, let me know - i'd write a check today.)
flannery o'connor's collected works. she is a brilliant writer, catholic to the core.
charles bukowski, particulary his poetry. he makes words quiver under their own weight.
salinger's franny and zooey.
kate chopin's the awakening.
erich maria remarque's heaven has no favorites.
albert camus' the third man.
ousmane's god's bits of wood.the most important book i read since leaving school is marilynne robinson's gilead. it is profound in a way few books ever are.
