"MY PASSIONS ARE CINEMA, MUSIC, TV, CERTAIN ACTRESSES, ITC SERIES, BUFFY, GILMORE GIRLS, THE 60s!"

"Thin White Mercury" period), Echo et les Bunnymen, Factory Records, Fleetwood Mac (esp. Buckingham/Nicks period), French chanteuses, Garbage, Gilmore Girls OST, Go-Betweens, Ron Grainer (brilliant theme tunes - "The Prisoner", "Doctor Who" etc), Hep Alien (check out their awesome "Live from Stars Hollow" CD - "hello, Connecticut!), Bernard Herrmann, The Jam, James, Laurie Johnson (for "The Avengers"), Wilfred Josephs & Robert Farnon (for "The Prisoner"), Joy Division/New Order & family, Kinks, Mazzy Star, Joni Mitchell, Ennio Morricone, OMD, Pernice Brothers, (the female) Sam Phillips, Pixies, Postcard Records, Rolling Stones (60s), Sigur Ros, Paul Simon (& Garfunkel), The Smiths, The Sundays, Talking Heads, Throwing Muses/Breeders/Belly & family, Suzanne Vega, Velvet Underground (& Nico) & family, pretty much anything from the 60s. Like John Peel was, always open to new music. If you're a new artist and want to send me your music/videos, feel free! . Will add MusicPlayer once it returns. If especially excited will feature you in my featured video of the week. GO TO THE BRONZE aka VIDEO SLIDER (see left)/MY VIDEOS for some cool tunes! THIS WEEK'S FEATURED VIDEO: "Elevator Love Letter" by Stars. An Anglo-canadian group, this comes from their debut LP "Heart". Great new Orderish electro-indie-pop!

TV:..

"Take my love. Take my land. Take me where I cannot stand. I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me. Take me out to the black. Tell 'em I ain't comin' back. Burn the land and boil the sea. You can't take the sky from me. Have no place I can be since I found Serenity. But you can't take the sky from me." FIREFLY theme tune

And let's not forget that other great spaceship Red Dwarf (and Starbug too)! The best video ever??
