Music, Movies, and Books

music is essential, the rhythm by which i live. books are my teachers, which spur me on towards new ideas and great thinking. movies are an inspiration, examples of the beautiful bitter sweetness of life.

music: oh man, don't get me started. just a few... animal collective, the rolling stones, grizzly bear, the beatles, beach house, simon and garfunkle, atlas sound, cat stevens, donovan, the kinks, tall dwarfs.
books: vonnegut, hesse, rilke, anything and everything that stirs my insides and makes me think.
movies: french new wave, american classics, select animee, new movies that catch my fancy, and as always wes anderson masterpieces.
