Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - 2001: A Space Odyssey, Dr. Strangelove, Children of Men

Books - The Trial (Franz Kafka), Dream of the Red Chamber (Tsao Hseuh-Chin), Neuromancer (William Gibson), Snow Crash (Neal Stephenson), Life After God (Douglas Coupland), Brave New World (Aldous Huxley)

I like music that echoes, swirls and evokes traveling at ludicrous speed through the Veil Nebula Complex. Par example: Skywave, Spacemen 3, Loop, God is an Astronaut, My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain.

I dig a fair amount of punk rock as well: Fugazi, Minor Threat, Faith, Wipers, The Stooges, Adolescents.

Other faves: The Stone Roses, The Velvet Underground, Joy Division.
