Gigs, movies, alcohol.
Del Griffith, Natalie Portman, Ed Norton, Ricky Gervais.
Huge mix of stuff, but usually chin-stroking twiddly fret wank progfests, blissed out ambient sounds or seriously heavy, brain-melting shit! I fuckin luv Glassjaw, Coheed, Deftones, Isis, Neurosis, Jesu, Mastodon, Good Riddance, Movielife, Strung Out, cLOUDDEAD, Subtle, Dalek, Aphex Twin, Why? and 27.
Anything that totally misrepresents actual life but that somehow also seems to represent actual life and I don't like it if a film's complete shit or is made by people who think it's gud when it is in fact shit. Here's a list of films I really like, but when it comes down to it are really probably complete shit. Dazed and Confused, Blade Runner, The Shining, Donnie Darko, Heat, Ghost in the Shell, Magnolia, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring, Audition, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Seven Samurai, Sonatine, Akira.
I don't really watch much tv, but buy shows like Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Curb your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld, Family Guy, The Office, Black Books.
Books take too much time and effort unless they're made out of pictures with speech bubbles. When I can be arsed: Destined to Witness, Jimmy Corrigan, Death Note, Motherless Brooklyn.
John Candy, Larry David, Led Zep.
