Acting. Films of any kind (except lame teen comedies or chick flicks, though even then there can be good ones). Music of many genres: rock, ambient, electronic, indie, classical, tribal, world, metal, rap, whatever. The X-Files. Guten freunden.
Certain people in the film and music industry.
I've stated in my interests what kind of music I like (the short version would be: everything), but what about my favourite bands! Well, I love Eels. Mark Oliver Everett (or simply E) is my personal favourite songwriter working today. I also love Muse, Boards Of Canada, Malcolm Middleton, Aphex Twin, Rage Against The Machine, Radiohead, Weezer, The Doors, and lots more!
