On November 17, 2005, Grandmaster Flash put on one of the best sets I've ever witnessed in the flesh. Bless him.

On April 29, 2006, Daft Punk put on the best set I will ever witness in the flesh. My heart is in their space pyramid.

Always in rotation: John Mayer

Listing artists is lame. Ready...go: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Gorillaz, The Faint, The Go! Team, Aesop Rock, The Ataris, Dixie Chicks, Jay-Z, Portishead, The Postal Service, Sage Francis, Bjork, Deftones, Death Cab, Dave Matthews, Dilated Peoples, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bitter:Sweet, Gnarls Barkley, Lynryd Skynryd, GnR, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, The Presets, The Knife, The Cure, Interpol, Oukast, Weezer, Missy, Yo La Tengo, !!!, Amy Winehouse, Hot Chip, Ratatat, Lady Sovereign, M.I.A., Authority Zero, blah blah blah.

Currently obsessed with: Bass Pale Ale. I realize this has nothing to do with music but fuck if it isn't delicious...

Movies:

"Everything will turn out the way you want if you stop doubting that I love you." - The Science of Sleep

Television:

rules the nation.

Books:

I think it's funny when chicks fill out this section by writing, "Like, books? I totally don't read." Yeah. Probably could have guessed that, honey.

I'm working on building up my collection of chapbooks. Chapbooks rule. Poets rule. Poets with chapbooks rule. Support them, please.

Heroes:

My family. Dream chasers. Charles Bukowski. Oh and Manny cuz he's the SHIT.
