obviously music & drumming. otherwise disc golf, hiking, movies, mathematics, booze, recording and producing, Brady Bunch trivia, big-ass salted rim frozen margaritas, dreaming about Michelle Valles (where did she go?!?), hittin' local brew pubs while on road trips,Bothdisco&karaoke with really fun party girls (my fave). Oh, and that "business" i'm involved in: fighting chickens, pr0n, alligator purses & wallets, watermelons and illegal cigarette smoking pet monkeys. please don't tell the Chinese OR Dick Cheney!?!
Music
Music is my life!
i pretty much listen to everything (minus rap & country, but Dwight Yoakum is OK) and can appreciate any good music. For me to *really* dig it, it's GOT to have a good melody. I tend to go through phases where i'm listening to a lot of one particular type of music (jazz, classical, prog rock, fusion etc.) I'm also a sucker for any recording with good players or a killer production.
Honorable mentions: Zappa, Porcupine Tree, King's X, Dream Theater, Jean-Luc Ponty, Seal, Sevendust, Jeff Buckley, Spastic Ink, Miles Davis, The Police, William Orbit, Thelonius Monk, Skunk Anansie, Nick Drake, Beth Orton, Coltrane, Dixie Dregs, UK, Massive Attack... rrr, just too many to list.
Movies
similarly...too many to list... but here's a brief sample: Cache, the Motorcycle Diaries, A Scanner Darkly, Donnie Darko, Blade Runner, Se7en, Ghost in the Shell, Old Boy, Animal House, Coming to America, Solaris (the Russian original - not that Clooney B.S.), The Usual Suspects, Reservoir Dogs, Baraka, Snakes on a Plane, Team America (fuck yeah) ;). Pretty much ANY Kubrick, Ridley Scott, Chan Wook Park or any other crazy asian flick, Almodovar, etc.
