Stuff with sincere energy that goes beyond appearance and gets to the heart of things. Seminal musical artists that have inspired me through my life (chronilogicaly to when I was exposed to them)include: The Beatles, Led Zepelin, Abba, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Sex Pistols, The Cure, Depeche Mode, The Ramones, The Exploited, Bad Brains, Bad Religion, Nomeansno, Sinead O'connor, and others.
Movies
I like alot of movies of various genres. Mainly I look for movies that can move you, whether it be to grief, love, introspection, horror, or anything else. If it can truely trigger an emotive response in me, I can dig it.
Some movies from my collection as I look over:
-Wild at Heart
-Big Trouble in Little China
-The Jerk
-The Gods Must Be Crazy
-The Life of Brian
-Casablanca
-Amelie
-Blade Runner
-Jacob's Ladder
-All Quiet On the Western Front(1930, not Johnboy, although that one is good too)
-Less Than Zero
-and so on......
Television
Not much. Mainly news and documentaries occasionally.
Books
Again, multi-genre. It has to be smart, but not necessarily intellectual. Some of my favorite books are Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa, Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls, Flow My Tears the Policeman Said by Philip Dick, The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, Mrs. Frisbee and the Rats of NIMH by Robert O'brien, Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein, and others... Other Authors of note that I like include: Philip Jose Farmer, Kurt Vonnegut, Robert Jordan, Emily Bronte, Margaret Atwood, Ernest Hemingway, Tolkein, Orson Scott Card, Raymond Chandler, H.P. Lovecraft, Thomas Hardy, Brett Easton Ellis, John Kennedy Toole, Norah Roberts(J/K just seeing if your paying attention), Edgar Allen Poe, Mark Twain, Larry Niven, and on and on and on.... I like Nonfiction quite a bit, but I a read mainly based on subject and not so much by author. Bill Bryson, Jared Diamond, Joe Queenan are a few noteables.
Heroes
Here comes the hero. The temperature's zero. Warming his hands on the crowd. He says now that I've changed, I'm exactly the same, but nobody hears cuz the cheers are too loud.
i wanted to tell you that isabelle has been rocking out to the eaters of the dead video we did forever ago. i miss you and i am hoping to come down and visit soon
I do love the part where the lesser half of the electric guitar duo leading Dragonfarce pauses to take a swig of sasparilla. Musta been plum tuckered out from pluckin' his geetar strangs so durn fast. His long hair provides a shroud of confidence around his brain so's he can think up all o' them hott gitawar lix. In metal physics and metal chemistry, Dragonfarce is a rock and roll reaction in which the nucleus of a guitar riff splits into smaller parts, often producing hot lix and cool riffs, which may eventually produce slamma rays. Fission of heavy metal elements is an exothermic reaction which can release large amounts of energy both as electromagnetic flatulation and as kinetic energy of the fragments (heating the lightning-fast solos where fission takes place). Dragonfarce is a form of metal transmutation because the resulting fragments are NOT the same element as the original music known commonly as rock and roll.
You sent me that video a while ago. Thanks, though, as it is a good one. We have another gig on the seventh of December. It's a benefit show at Bishop Lynch High School. I'll send you more details when we get them.

Afraid of Daniel, are we? If we do not fire for absolute incompetence, how am I going to bring things crashing down by giving Roger a legitimate, albeit colorful, compliment?
Oh well, I have been censored going on 3 years now.
