Music, Movies, and Books
MUSIC | Almost anything goes. Those typical Caribbean tunes aren't my thing, ironically, but I try to keep an open mind. Recently I've been more into Russian music, mostly hip-hop, but I have a sincere fondness for post-hardcore and early-2000s EDM.
MOVIES | art stuff, dry humour and revenge flicks. I like movies with a surreal or even absurd element.
BOOKS | writings that challenge currently-held perspectives. It's great when the entire storyline or character arc turns out to have been an analogy for some sorta commentary. A few names: Lermontov, Sartre, Chekhov, Poe, Afanas'yev and Andersen.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Stories and customs of different cultures, since I grew up in a pretty diverse community. Also, I'm somewhat critical about things. If you're producing art and would like honest feedback on your work, I would be happy to share my opinion. Only if asked though ;)
