Music, Movies, and Books

The Cohen brothers are usually on point. Spike Lee's New Orleans documentary is wowsome. Woody Allen holds it down. I like David Lynch on certain days-- hate him on others. I like what I've seen by Ingmar Bergman, Stanely Kubrick, Martin Scorcese, Francis Ford Coppola- the cannon basically. I have a pretty indiscriminate taste in films-

Music is a different story. Big up to Honest Jon's Records.

Came up on Hip Hop. I like Nas's new album. I'll always be true to Gangstarr, Tribe, Def and Kweli, Biggie, J Dilla & Slum Village, EPMD, so on and so forth.

Favorite Authors:
Dostoyevsky, Bukowski, Henry Miller, Anais Nin, Walt Whitman, Lao Tse, Cervantes, Henri Bergson blows my mind every time-

Recently I've fallen in love with Susan Sontag, H.Melville, William S. Burroughs

Always loved Gogol, and Roald Dahl- and Shakespeare, I guess. I like too many authors really.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Budapest-October 2006 riots-Just being in the streets for the demonstrations and police brawls-I fell in love.

Worked on fruit farms in Queensland.

All kinds of collaborative art. I especially like cooking food with spirited people.
