Music:

my very favourite band is ALL/descendents. they've been my very favourite band since 1993.

the appetite i have for music is nothing short of voracious, so compiling a comprehensive list of "bands i like" would be nearly impossible.

that said, i've limited myself to 120 artists that are rocking me at present:

"weird al" yankovic 3 inches of blood ac/dc (pre-1988) aesop rock the afghan whigs alkaline trio gg allin anthrax (belladonna era) arab strap avail bad religion (pre-stranger than fiction) beastie boys (through ill communication) bikini kill björk black flag black sabbath (ozzy era) blümchen boogie down productions boredoms braid bright eyes brisk & trixxy brother ali buck 65 buckethead cage johnny cash casiotone for the painfully alone cephalic carnage clutch daft punk danzig darkest hour miles davis dead kennedys (jello era only!) dinosaur jr embrace (the real one, from the US) endpoint even in blackouts falling forward fantômas sage francis fugazi the get up kids girl talk goblin gorilla biscuits guns n' roses the hold steady billie holiday hot water music (pre-2002) iron maiden (dickinson singing) jawbreaker jedi mind tricks jets to brazil robert johnson kool keith laughing hyenas leatherface led zeppelin lifter puller lucero lymbyc systym madonna (pre-ray of light) clint mansell bob marley mates of state mc chris melvins metallica (original long-hair era) ministry (through psalm 69) minor threat misfits (danzig era only!) motörhead (through 1916) the mountain goats mr. bungle murder by death necro joanna newsom nirvana non phixion will oldham operation ivy pink floyd (1970s era) pixies plastikman p.o.s. propagandhi public enemy quicksand ramones cutty ranks reggie and the full effect the replacements the reputation rush (pre-counterparts) samhain sarge say anything screeching weasel slayer slint slipknot sonic youth regina spektor sprites the stooges the streets sy & unknown terror turbonegro unearth van halen (DLR singing) rocky votolato the weakerthans william elliott whitmore the wipers wu-tang clan zombie apocalypse john zorn

Movies:

ugh. do you really want to get me started?
as i get older, my love for film threatens to eclipse my love for music. that's kind of weird. i think.
anyway, 120 worked well as a self-imposed limiter in the "music" section, so i believe i'll use it here, too. while i have a neutral stance towards sequels, i'll avoid listing them (for the most part) to save on "slots":

airplane! (1980) american beauty (1999) american movie (1999) apocalypse now (1979) back to the future (1985) batman (1989) the beyond (l'aldilà) (1981) big fish (2003) the big lebowski (1998) blade runner (1982) blazing saddles (1974) blue velvet (1986) boogie nights (1997) breathless (à bout de souffle) (1960) buffalo '66 (1998) cannibal holocaust (1980) cemetery man (dellamorte dellamore) (1994) children of men (2006) city of the living dead (paura nella città dei morti viventi) (1980) class of nuke 'em high (1986) clerks (1994) a clockwork orange (1971) the crazies (1973) crouching tiger, hidden dragon (wo hu cang long) (2000) dawn of the dead (1978) deep red (profondo rosso) (1975) django (1966) dolls (1987) donnie darko (2001) don't torture a duckling (non si sevizia un paperino) (1972) dracula (1931) eraserhead (1977) e.t.

Television:

i am trying to watch less of it, especially stuff that's not in high definition. but i still watch plenty!
here are some of my all-time favourite shows, many of which i may not even watch anymore, if they've begun to suck. in an ill-conceived attempt to appear more "cultured", i'll use a lower ceiling here than i did in the "music" and "film" sections, limiting myself to just 100:

12 oz. mouse 120 minutes absolutely fabulous alf da ali g show american dad! animaniacs aqua teen hunger force the a-team batman beavis and butt-head the brady bunch the brak show buffy the vampire slayer the bullwinkle show chappelle's show coupling (uk) crank yankers crossballs curb your enthusiasm the daily show with jon stewart danger mouse dawson's creek deadwood dexter's laboratory dog bites man the dog whisperer dr. katz, professional therapist er extras extreme championship wrestling family guy felicity frisky dingo futurama harvey birdman: attorney at law home movies howard tv human giant the idiot box jackass jeopardy! joe millionaire knight rider late night with conan o'brien looney tunes the man show married...with children master of champions masters of horror monty python's flying circus mr. show with bob and david the muppet show mystery science theater 3000 night stand the office (uk) the office (us) paradise hotel pee-wee's playhouse perfect hair forever police squad! the powerpuff girls reno 911! robot chicken rome saturday night live scrubs sealab 2021 seinfeld sesame street sifl & olly the sarah silverman program the simpsons sledge hammer! smallville son of the beach the sopranos south park spaced space ghost: coast to coast star trek the state stella the ben stiller show strangers with candy tales from the crypt talk soup tenacious d tom goes to the mayor tough crowd with colin quinn transformers the twilight zone twin peaks underdog unscrewed with martin sargent upright citizens brigade wonder showzen the x-files yo! mtv raps the young ones

Books:

i really need to read more - much more. anyone taking a cursory glance at my bookcases will immediately believe me to be very, very stupid. anyway, here are ten writers that i like:

clive barker cory doctorow susana kaysen stephen king ray kurzweil edgar allan poe henry rollins shel silverstein j.r.r. tolkein ben weasel

Heroes:
