Hip Hop. Radio. Wax. It's all about the underground and the community behind it. If you don't like it's because your eyes are closed and you refuse to listen.
Art: the beauty in a line.
Recording: the magic of the mix. (Gear fiend for life!!)
Music
Hip Hop: I get down with the ol' skool and upliftin', the new but fresh, and the invitingly obscure.
Jazz: the classics and the transcendental. Abstract screeching only sounds good when I do it.
Anything else that makes my head nod.

Television
It's all too embarassing.
Books
Anything with cannons and sinking ships, social context, meaningless period mush, and historical analysis is good for me. I can't read magazines, newspapers, or anything else with poor grammar.

Yo Crystal Dawn Davis ~ Cikeeasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
