Sex, violence, and Satan. (Preferably simultaneously...;P)
I've come to be fairly elitistically ecclectic about music, it being my very lifesblood. I'm heavily into e.b.m. and industrial. Extremely picky about classical. (If it's not baroque, expect to hear me snoring before long.) Basically, almost anything of a so-called "gothic" nature rubs me the right way, but extreme metal is my first love. Being of northern European descent on my father's side, I can't help but have the devil's music coarsing through my veins... (Audiovisual examples of what steadies my mortal pulse include the following.)
Lately seems that all I can really get off on these days is ultraviolent exploitational eurosleaze from the 70's/80's.
I prefer film and don't have cable nor the time for it. When I did, however, one of my favorite things to watch would be on Discovery or Animal Planet--crocodiles dragging down zebras/gazelles/wildebeasts at waterholes. I also have a softspot for the Sci-Fi Channel. And thanks to Rick: Metalokalypse, Lucy Daughter of the Devil, and Frisky Dingo.
