Music, Movies, and Books

If the story if striking, if the pictures are good, if it's weird, if there is Ryan Gosling starring in (hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!! just kiddin'!) I'll take the movie. I loved Timbuktu, Persepolis, Django, The boat that rocked, Divines, and movies by realisators like Jarmush, Kusturica (so weird so good :D)

Please, have me discover your favorite music!!! I need to discover more!!! I love Pink Floyd, The Dave Brubeck Quartet, Emir Kusturica (again!), Chinese Man, Die Antwoort, Worakls, Noha, Revolver and so on and am eager to discover more and more musicians and songs of any kind.
(though after too many main stream soup songs I may get urticaria :p)

I don't read much but I'm quite picky regarding books, if it's not well written, I'll not be able to get through it. I've loved Steinbeck, Boris Vian or Tchekhov books and on a different note I would totally recommend Jared Diamond (Collapse!) to any CS member.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

El camino del Rey (a very picturesque via-ferrata in Andalusia), a night stuck in the main track to Mondulkiri (Cambodia), Russian mountains tracks in old army truck defying gravity laws.
