Jessica Bendinger's Interests
|
| Music | Oh, my love of loves! Selecting the music for STICK IT was a joy of joys and I'm so stoked about the music in the movie and on the soundtrack. I won't bore you with that here, but mention some bands I j'adore in any old order...
PIXIES, Bad Brains, Def Lep, Van Halen, Amy Winehouse, Interpol, Sufjan Stevens, Ben Folds, Arcade Fire, Sigur Ros, The Weakerthans, Feist, Joe Purdy, Richard Buckner, David Bazan, Queens of the Stone Age, Jay-Z, PE, Beasties, Eric B & Rakim, LL, Pharoahe Monch, Weezer, Talk Talk, The Finn Brothers, J5, Cocteau Twins, Journey, MC, MJB, Missy E, Damone, FOB, Snow Patrol, Muse, Foo Fighters, Tegan & Sara, Nas, Run DMC, DM, Ok Go, TV On The Radio, Interpol, Brandy, John Legend, Elvis Costello, Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Shawn Colvin, Innocence Mission, Jonatha Brooke and tons of one-hit wonders, yo. | | Television | Oh, dudes. This is where I go so wrong I don't want to be right! I love reality television (RTV). When you find a show that delivers, there is nothing like it. There is nothing more fascinating and unpredictable than human behavior. Especially while on the couch!
My list is long - don't judge, judgey! Of late? Top Chef, Making the Band 4, SYTYCD, Hey Paula, you name it...I've probably checked it out. | | Books | Extraordinary Knowing by Elizabeth Lloyd Mayer, BLINK by Malcolm Gladwell, The Field by Lynne McTaggert, 100 Years of Solitude, The House of Mirth, The Custom of the Country, anything by Dorothy Parker | | Heroes | Edith Wharton, Dorothy Parker, my dog |
