into: Seu Jorge doing Bowie songs; old Steely Dan; some of the great PIONEERING PUNK work of The Electric Eels; Frank Lowe, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Sharrock, Sam Rivers, Albert Ayler, Cannonball Adderly, Gene Ammons, Don Cherry, Sun Ra, Jimmy Smith, Anthony Braxton, Benny Moten, Peter Brotzmann; I love the Aislers Set and wish to wed Amy Linton; some old Cramps; Kip Dynamite, Deb, Uncle Rico, etc.; old Waters films like Flamingos, Polyester, Multiple MANIACS, Female Trouble, etcetc; "Laid" by James; Milan Kundera; Pulp's THIS IS HARDCORE; lots of Blue Oyster Cult records; Husker Du was great, Sugar was very good; various Who songs; the earliest Motorhead stuff, with Larry Wallis on gtr; Banana Yoshimoto; Allison Wolfe; Link Wray; still love the oft-hated Stone Temple Pilots; Garbage has some pretty great garbage!; I like lots of '80s new wave, '20s ragtime, '20s/'30s country-blues, '30s Hawaiian guitar, '50s oldies, and Son friggin House; classic FEEDTIME albums like Shovel and Cooper S (the AmRep one is shite); the classic SLEEP album THE HOLY MOUNTAIN (haven't heard that one-song album... one-song albums are a bit of a scary prospect, not to sound negative about experimentation); the classic Modern Lovers album (with "She Cracked," "Hospital," "Roadrunner," and such); Melt-Banana; Merzbow; Z-ROCK HAWAII; Kleenex/Liliput; the books and analyses of Brian Eno, and Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy and Here Come the Warm Jets are beyond fuckin great; 1980s Meat Puppets albums (not that "Backwater" stuff); Chrome songs with nasty, horrible Helios Creed and noise in them; people who write a lot of stuff in their Profiles; I used to eat a lot of banana Moonpies and Zero bars- nowdays, I'm more likely to mack on health-junk-food... and Goetze's caramels; cats n dogs; the great Drive-By Truckers albums Decoration Day & Southern Rock Opera; I have a possibly surprising amount of Marshall Tucker Band knowledge; Old Whiskey River, Bulleit, Wild Turkey Rare Breed, Elijah Craig, Old Grand-dad, Ten High; Luksusowa, Monopolowa, Stoli, New Deal 88, Ketel One; I loved it when The Smiths became successful; old The Cure; I like some 'Dead, too- I know I'm not SUPPOSED to, but oh fuckin' well... also like some Little Feat before Lowell died, and occasional bursts of Allmans; Son Volt's debut was prob the best debut album of the '90s, and Jay does some great solo stuff; BIG STAR #1 Record/ Radio City; Velvet Unnergroun; Chuck buckin Berry; Beatles n Stones n Mott The Hoople; most Kubrick films, but not Eyes Wide Shut (sorry, those folks who like that one); The Sebadoh (particularly the early, less nice records); how in HELL did I leave Todd Rundgren out of here??- Something/Anything? and A Wizard, A True Star are pretty much the best albums evour; pronounced LIH-nerd SKIH-nerd, 2nd Helping, and Gimme Back My Bullets rock and have lots of references to southern states! (I don't like "Gimme 3 Steps" or "What's Yr Name"!) What's my take on John Cassavetes? Great director who looks sorta like Ray Wise and Spalding Gray and Al Pacino and some other people; The Slits (yay yay Ari Up!!); The New York Freakin Dolls (I might've caught this train late, but fugk am I ON it- they freakin rule); Dead Dinosaur; YACHT ROCK, Pretty President, Laser Fart, The Bearded Traveler, Juri, KILL PATRICK SULLIVAN, and Space Goblins on CHANNEL 101 dot com! Broken Lizard movies; The Big Lebowski; Moroccan street-festival music; rocksteady ragga

not into: fascist bullyboys, war, genocide, rape, "the economic downturn" (for GOD'S SAKE, DON'T TELL EVERYONE IT'S A MOTHERFUCKING DEEEPRESSION!!!!!), Creed, Nickelback, The New York Yankees, The Dallas Cowboys, THEE Ohio State Sucky University, Kobe Bryant, Lil Wayne's entirely unoriginal and corny use of the vocoder (which Neil Young pioneered, then Cher ruined) and every other damned hip-hop song now overusing it, Man United aka Scum, and old pickup trucks with bad emissions driving in front of me.

makes me happy: good artwork in any format/ media; things that are informative, enriching, and enjoyable; intellectual humor; some grossout humor; hanging around with people who aren't HUNG UP on trivial selfish, scenester, "authenticity," "respectability," and/ or materialistic matters; Indian food, n some Thai; manners and tact
