Movies

Television
Not much. These days I sometimes watch the Simpsons. I like Invader Zim. Futurama. I watch other cartoons (mostly older, like old Looney Tunes) . . . Basically Television has become a "manufactured need", and besides it mostly sucks.
Books
On The Road - Kerouac. A Riot Of Our Own - Johnny Green. 1984 - Orwell. others too.
Heroes
people that actually mean what they say. ya know - the ones that walk the talk ...
this vid goes out to my brother Steve, who was a rebel and an example to me all his life ... R.I.P., and Steve - ring me up now & then fucker!
About me: I don't want to join your "club". "Getting along" should never include kissing ass. Besides, I'm not very good at kissing ass. Be a force, or be crushed.
Stand up for yourself - period. Don't wait for someone else to do it.
Authority has no inherent morality.
Oppression will result in backlash.
Let's change the world, even if its one person at a time.
I'm crazy - I believe in punk. I'm serious about this: Let's have some fun.
I hate bullshit. Let's eliminate bullshit
....
I'm kinda old school ...
don't feed me any lines ...
Oh yeah, don't try to put a label on me - I'm not a liberal, I'm not a conservative, I'm not a communist, I'm not a monarchist, nor do I fit into any other handy dandy little pre-packaged category that you might want to stick me into. Guess you'll have to actually interact with me to figure out who I am ...
INSTITUTIONAL WARNING:
I don't give a flying fuck about accumulating 5,000 myspace friends. If you want be added as a friend - just send me a message and I'll probably add ya. If I later find out you are a rapist, racist, NAZI, sexist, Bush worshipper, or any other kind of scum cake I'll just delete ya then! (But if you are a rapist, racist, NAZI, Stalinist, Bush worshipper, or any other kind of scum cake - please don't apply) If you fail to observe this basic protocol, don't expect to be approved . . .
I try to keep this "friend" list from becoming even more ponderous - so I delete folks that I have no interaction with from time to time. If I later learn I'm just pumping your friend count or if you're too important to respond to my repeated messages, then I'll probably delete ya - understand this: life's too short to deal with this kind of bullshit
Excessive Band Pimping Comments are Subject to Deletion
Go ahead - delete me. I'm sure I'll be "crushed".
I also just got back from Jamaica with - a whole heap of incredible new ska, rocksteady and early reggae 45s on labels like Beverley's, Top Deck, Tuneico, Treasure Isle and more! - a selection of Jamaican vinyl LPs we've never had in the store before! We've also got a new batch of Roots Reggae titles (not yet available on the regular site) in the CD Sale, and a huge selection of clearance 45s.
