Music:

Bells, whistles, people who sing like chainsmokers, accordions, banjos, red-winged blackbirds, wurlitzers, songs where people go "oo oo oo."

Movies:

Epic films of creative struggle, triumph and redemption, like Flashdance, Eight Mile, and most recently, Hustle and Flow. Also a big fan of documenteries. And cartoons. And movies with vampires.
