Music, Movies, and Books

I love music! I love listening to it, I love talking about it and I love the feeling when I find a good new artist or group I didn't know before. Favorites at this moment are Björk (well, all-time favorite), Belle&Sebastian, The Black Keys, Dirty Projectors, Jeff Buckley, The Knife, Amy Winehouse, Peter, Björn & John, Hudson Mohawke, etc.

I watch a lot of movies, but so many yet to be seen. Few of my favorites: The Fall, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Dances with Wolves, Dancer In The Dark, The Shining, Easy Rider and of course musicals!

Reading books is also one of my favorite things. There's usually many unfinished books at the same time... choosing one to go with my mood.
