Music, Movies, and Books

books: too many to list them all, so just some of them for now ... on the road, 1984, brave new world, fahrenheit 451, non-fictional & political stuff, lots of artist biographies, anything written by hermann hesse

music: the language of the soul, heavily addicted to it, still buyin' instead of downloading quality reduced files ... based mainly in guitar driven genres, but quite open to new cuts from the sound laboratories ... main influences include e.g. frank zappa, henry rollins, blumfeld, joy division, but in general anything that is performed with heart & devotion catches me instandly

movies: this is spinal tap, bladerunner, the future is unwritten, black-&-white movies, film noir, classical spy movie stuff, peter lorre, vincent price, classical b-movies, stupid slapstick humor films (airplane!), documentaries, anything by woody allen
