Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Music. I'll just list some artists I am into these days as I feel that genres are quite vague.

Led Zeppelin, Mac DeMarco, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, DIIV, Beach Fossils, The Tallest Man Alive, , Iron & Wine, Sufjan Stevens, Kevin Morby, Los Enanitos Verdes, Yowler, Queen, Queens of the Stone Age, Nas, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Night Moves, Drake, Badbadnotgood, Air, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Nirvana, Los Bunkers, Snoop Dogg, ScHoolboy Q, Chance the Rapper, Earl Sweatshirt, Beach House, Youth Lagoon, Mild High Club, Craft Spells, Wild Nothing, The Head and the Heart, Apex Twin, Bonobo, Thievery Corporation, Wax Taylor, Bon Iver, Jay Z, Rakim, Wu-Tang Clan, Del the Funky Homosapien, Jeru the Damaja, Killer Mike, Fleet Foxes, Tame Impala, Wolfmother, Moby, etc.

There's just too much to list. I'm into almost anything. I'll even listen to a country song if the singer's accent isn't too twangy.

Favorite Books? Definitely Modernist era around the time of the two World Wars. My favorite book (so far) is: A Portrait of the Artist As A Young Man by James Joyce. My favorite author is a toss up between James Joyce and Ernest Hemingway. Again there's too much to list here. Ask me if you're really curious!

Favorite Films? Maybe my all time favorite is "Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" yes that's all one title haha. But then again I also love "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" starring Jim Carrey.

ESPAÑOL:

Musica favorita? Hmmm mejor listo algunos de mis artistas musicales favoritas. Simplemente listar géneros se me hace incierto e impreciso.

(Vean la lista que puse arriba empezando con "Led Zeppelin")

Libros favoritos? Bueno, mi época favorita sin duda es la modernista. Osea allí por el tiempo de las dos guerras mundiales. Mi libro favorito (hasta el momento) es "A Portrait of the Artist As A Young Man" escrito por el Irlandés James Joyce. Mi escritor favorito? Hmmm no se escoger entre James Joyce y Ernest Hemingway.

Películas favoritas? Bueno quizás mi pelicula favorita es una clásica del director Stanley Kubrick llamada "Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb" si ese es el nombre completo de la película jaja. Pero también me encanta la película "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" con Jim Carrey en el papel estelar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have played a live concert in front of about 2,000 people back when I was 18 years old with my band. We played a music festival near my neighborhood.

Toque un concierto con mi grupo de secundaria. La audiencia era de alrededor de 2,000 personas. Era en un festival musical cerca de mi vecindario aquí en Los Angeles.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My company, my jokes, some drinks. I can also cook a pretty good meal if you're interested!

Buena compañía, mis chistes y humor, algunos tragos. También puedo cocinar algo rico si están interesados!
