Music, Movies, and Books

Wes Anderson, Luis Buñuel, Béla Tarr, Petr Marek (great current czech director)

i like alternative music like hc/punk/crust - loads of bands in many sub genres. some reggae, some jazz (Coltrane, Monk, Davis, Mulatu Astatke, Esbjörn Svensson). Even John Cage or Stockhausen is nice.
old school death metal.
Scandinavian and mostly Finnish music.
i prefer vynils - LPs, 7inches, 10inches, also 5,6,8inch is great, but a bit rare.

if you wanna get some touch with prague's alternative scene, you might visit this club 007! http://klub007strahov.cz/

books: 3 men in a boat!, C. Dickens, Asimov, Erlend Loe, Kari Hotakainen, Balabán, Beat generation and many more
