Oh just about all sorts of things really, generally "indie" but oh my I hate it when people use that word incorrectly.

At the moment I'm into Architectures In Helsinki, Arcade Fire, Stars, Go! Team, Electrelane, Tom Vek and such like, as well as the forever classics like Beach Boys, Carole King and Leonard Cohen.

NOW I like trillions and trillions of bands, how can I ever know them all? Recent wonders are The Knife, Shout Out Out Out Out, Francois (the wee french man), The Young Knives, Most Serene Republic, New Young Pony Club (dance), Cyndi Lauper and erm erm erm yes Sparklehorse (always been a personal favourite)... People are also trying to get me into calypso, apparently it's the next big thing, going to take the nation by surprise.

Hmm yes, I should probably add more things shouldn't I? To keep up with the "hipsters" out there. Ok other things I am listening to... anthony & the johnsons, the notwist, brinkman, clap your hands say yeah!, islands, wheat, postal service, doves, futureheads, charlie mingus, pavement, her space holiday, hope of the states, new rhodes, future corpses, the hidden messages, the delphian complex, the radio dept., the amazing pilots, bloc party, m83, cat power, magic numbers, masters of the hemisphere, of montreal, s, rory mcvicar, fonda 500, gemma hayes, modest mouse, joseph arthur, lemon jelly, soulwax, the polyphonic spree, the cure, the delgados, hefner, nada surf, delila, coldplay, the webb brothers, mojave 3, erin mckeown, emmy the great, weezer, four tet, rooney, the tyde, eastern lane, i am kloot, flaming lips, six toes, king creosote, devendra banhart, ooberman, blur, good shoes, coco rosie, jeffrey lewis, codex machine, matthew herbert, jamie lidell, antony and the johnsons, kings of convenience, prefuse 73, lcd soundsystem, black nielson... ENOUGH. for now.

Oh my, lots.

Off the top of my head: Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Love Liza, High Fidelity, Virgin Suicides, Breakfast At Tiffanys, The Graduate, Coffee & Cigarettes, Amores Perros, Amelie, Being John Malkovich, One Day In Europe, I Heart Huckabees, Everything Is Illuminated, Shirley Valentine, Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex But Were Afraid To Ask, Bugsy Malone, Moulin Rouge, Shallow Grave, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid... many many many.

These days obsessed with the work of pedro, as in almodovar.

Oh Spaced is like the best thing ever... I want to be them.

But also futurama, family guy, the mighty boosh, THE SMOKING ROOM (so underrated), the o.c., fantastic daytime tv cheese for eyes like monk, diagnosis murder, columbo, quincy and of course murder she wrote... and other things...

Hmm hmm hmm.... Sophie's World, God Of Small Things, High Fidelity, Catcher In The Rye, Prozac Nation, Death And The Penguin, No. 1 Ladies Detectives Agency, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest, Chronicles Of Narnia, Three Trapped Tigers, other things I forget now...
