Music
I believe in my heart and in all other parts of my anatomy that The Clash's LONDON CALLING is the single greatest album ever recorded.
I dig Elvis Costello, The Pogues, The Buzzcocks, The Reverend Horton Heat, Warren Zevon, The Pixies, Tom Waits, Social Distortion, Moby, The Roots, The Beastie Boys, The Sex Pistols, Elastic No-No Band, Rancid, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Damned, Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, Rollins Band, Iggy and the Stooges, Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash and Billy Bragg. Admitting to an inexplicable affection for Counting Crows would most likely ruin what little indie cred I've accumulated.
Movies
Casablanca, Office Space, Taxi Driver, The Muppet Movie, Die Hard, Lawrence of Arabia, Young Frankenstein, Big Trouble in Little China, The Big Lebowski, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Kill Bill, The Outlaw Josie Wales, Fight Club.

Recommend something, eh?

Those who endeavor to leave the world in better shape than they found it.
About me: I write technical manuals to put food on the table, but I write comics to nourish my spirit. You can read some of the comics I've written by making with the clicky-click. 2009 will see the publication of WORK!, an anthology of short comics stories about the experiences of workers and the struggles of the working class, co-edited by me and my friend Tim Twelves. I enjoy writing, long runs in the park, cooking, spiced rum, expensive beer and punk rock. You can figure out the rest.
When God loses faith in Mankind, he sends his legion of angels to bring on the Apocalypse. Humanity's only hope lies in a group of strangers trapped in a desert diner and the Archangel Michael (Paul Bettany).
