Music:

Music has always been a great source of enjoyment for me. I Played keyboards and guitar in bands in New Zealand for about 10 years, notably The Puddle but for now I'm content just to listen and play tunes on my radio show at Southern Taiwan University of Technology. My show is called Freak the Sheep and airs Thursdays from GMT0200 - 0400 and Saturdays GMT 0900 - 1100. I play a good selection of NZ music as well as classic rock, jazz, alternative and other eclectic selections.

Movies:

My favourite movie of all time would have to be Once Apon A Time in the West by the master of the spaghetti western, Sergio Leone. The bad guys are thoroughly bad, the good guys aren't a lot better and the women are prostitutes. The score by Ennio Morricone beautifully compliments the dramatic tension. Sergio Leone also directed The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, A Fistful of Dollars, and For A Few Dollars More.Otherwise I'm fond of Apocalypse Now, The Godfather I & II, and Bladerunner. Recently I've enjoyed Magnolia, Capote and Walk the Line

Books:

1984 Swamp Thing Tao Te Ching The Quiet American One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest Catch-22 Don Quixote Kafka William S. Burroughs Kerouac Bukowski Joyce Blake Hunter S. Thompson Philp K. Dick Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Ray Bradbury I'm ust name dropping now.....
