About Me

and my reel.

My Interests

Music:

there is very little that i don't like, though i steer more towards world music, if that's what you call it: angelique kidjo, les nubians, buena vista social club, the knife, leonard cohen, rolling stones, al green, deep forest, ray lynch, annie lennox, astrid and bebel gilberto, massive attack, nina simone, ella fitzgerald, enigma, frou frou, kassav, tori amos, manu chao, paulo conte, pink floyd, the police, portishead... yeah, now i'm looking at my library- listed alphabetically. prince, rashid taha, sade, tom petty, zero 7... ok, enough already.

Movies:

documentaries

Television:

don't really watch it, not because i'm a snob but because i don't have time.

Books:

this seems like an absurd exercise in listing, but here are some authors i like: philip gourevitch, vs naipal, adrien nicole leblanc, maggie nelson, arundhati roy, george plimpton, annie dillard, pablo neruda, denis johnson, alice munro, roald dahl, david sedaris, primo levi, dorothy parker
