Music, Movies, and Books

Big movie junkie. Antonioni, Kar Wai, Ozu and many, many more. Whoever brought Netflix into our lives should get a Nobel prize.

As for music - house in general, also Mos Def, Daft Punk, Manu Chao, DJ Vadim, The Streets, Nina Simone and tons and tons more...

I take special liking in NYC deep house scene, Louie Vega, Kenny Dope, Francois K, secret Soul Sessions at Cielo, the Roots party on Wednesdays....

As for books - does New York Magazine count?
