| | Music | Anything genuine that was not built up to be a marketing coup even though with success everything will somehow become a product to some point and some pure marketing products will become a real band...
A few that comes to my mind...
Blue Foundation, one of the best, richest and most interesting bands I've heard in ages, live or on their records.
Demo Tape, rare song writing talent, from classic garage rock to atmospherics ballads, raw and straight to the point.
Lance and Donna, may be one of the last true blues duet on the road, must see and hear them if you can.

Straycats,Miles Davis,The Cramps,Albert King, Muddy waters, Junior Wells,Serge Gainsbourg,Tito and the tarantulas,Hendrix,Robert johnson,Ryan Adams,Johnny Cash,Bowie,The Cure,Joy Division,Bahaus,Jonatha Brooke,Leonard Cohen,Bob Dylan,ACDC,ZZ-top,Motorhead,Mozart,Beethoven,Bach,Deus,De Palmas,NTM,IAM,The Streets,The Cardigans,Kashmir,LOC,Restless,Gunabatz,King Kurt,The Toy dolls,Les Vampas,Glenn Gould,Air,Portishead and so many others..

| | Television | Not much excitement on TV since I don't believe in the bullshit they serve on the news and grew out of porn ...
Usually the last thing to watch on tour in your hotel room, ending up watching half of a movie you’ve already seen 20 times or TV-shopping...
On my nerdy side I like discovery channel and BBC's documentary though and a couple of series (El Chaparal,The Sopranos,bands of brothers,LOST (oh kate...),6feet under,CSI,NYPD Blues,Star Trek(vintage and newer ones,Voyager),Seinfeld,Bottom,the young ones,ABFAB,TVN595) or a few shows but I rarely watch TV nowadays, maybe because I don t have one ?
| | Books | I wish I d take more time to read more lately..
lots of them, Jean Paul Sartre,Tolkien,Kerouac, Isaac Assimov, Paul Auster, Kafka and Primo Levi come to my mind at this moment.
| | Heroes | Heroes?
Isn’t that a Bowie song?
"We could be Heroes, just for one day..."
