Words, theories (the crackpotter the better!), jam and jam-related products, the great outside, dogs, birds, bird dogs, e-flat, "braising".
Someone to play with. Musically speaking.
Carole King, Fleetwood Mac, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Cole Porter, the Buzzcocks, Lucinda Williams, the Go-Betweens, Genesis, Sufjan Stevens, the Cocteau Twins, Neil Young, the Flaming Lips, Rodgers & Hart & Hammerstein, Joel Plaskett, Apostle of Hustle, Billy Strayhorn; essentially, anything not shitty or dying of earnestness. Plus, droning. I'm big on that.
Anything with dogs in it, anything shot in Mongolia, and movies about math.
Slings & Arrows, Battlestar Galactica, Veronica Mars, Amazing Race, Deadwood, Project Runway, Grey's Anatomy, everything on HBO, and especially THE DOG WHISPERER!!!
Too many to name. But most recently Donna Tartt, The Secret History.
I'm fer 'em.
