I play electric bass in The Steeds and upright bass in The Worms.
I will admit that there are things that interest me.
My shadow.
A brief list: Guided by Voices and all things Robert Pollard, Tortoise, Woody Guthrie, Hank Williams, Big Star, Explosions In The Sky, The Kinks, The Sonics, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Thelonius Monk, MC5, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Neu!, R.E.M., Wire, Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, Steely Dan, Sonic Youth, Pavement, The Conet Project, Leadbelly, The Melvins, Sleater-Kinney, Charles Mingus, Miles Davis, Minor Threat, Fugazi, Devo, Boards Of Canada, Autechre, Bill Monroe, Pink Floyd, etc. I'll probably add more with time.
Everything by both Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick; 1950s and 1960s, B-rated sci-fi flicks like War Of The Worlds, Them and Forbidden Planet; Metropolis; anything really trippy and pretty much a smattering of anything over the course of movie history. I'm usually surprised by what I discover.
I don't get to watch much and what I do watch I usually hate myself for, although I avoid reality and game shows like some sort of radioactive Bubonic plague. I'm usually attracted to comedy and I love documentries. There is also something mesmerizing about watching baseball on television.
Reading lead to my profession. It would be very difficult for me to list off everything that has influenced me because reading has had a very profound effect on my life. I typically prefer 20th Century American writing, but there are some foreign writers that I enjoy as well, such as Milan Kundera and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I've been getting into Russian literature lately and I also read a lot of short stories on the net. And I want to specifically point out White Noise by Don DeLillo as one of the best books ever written and say that Hemmingway is the Rosetta Stone of literature.
I prefer hoagies.
