Music, Movies, and Books

No mainstream bullshit.

Old school hip-hop is my main jam, but also jazz, and some funk, and from around the world (balkan, arabic, european).

For movies: made by real directors. mostly french and italian.

for books: modernists and beats are the favorites, depressing russian lit too once in a blue moon.

Ferry-hopping Greek islands, climbing Mt.Kazbeghi in Georgia, camping under the starry night desert sky in Arabian desert.
