Music, Movies, and Books

I am not much of a reader myself, but I deeply admire those who are - understanding the joy of devouring a good book.

I fondly appreciate visual arts: photography and cinema particularly. Specifically street and ethnographic photography, arthouse cinema, and documentaries.

Musicwise, anything goes; from hiphop to punk, jazz to techno, indie to classical music; wherever my mood swings. Always great to listen to are for me Idles, The Black Keys, Caribou, MacDemarco, Whitney, Kendrick Lamar, Moderat, Underworld, J. Cole, Chet Faker, Louis Armstrong, The Killers, Fritz Kalkbrenner, Frankie Stew and Haevey Gunn, and Arctic Monkeys.
