music-- techno, electronica, new wave, progressive
hiking-- state parks, urban parks, greenways, historic towns
bicycling-- trails and city streets
coffee-- espresso based drinks esp. brevé latté
the garden in all its beauty or tragedy
meeting more creative people
Music
Let Everyone Have Free Access to Music
Ban Copyright Laws!
Give music back to the people and
get rid of the corporations who steal our music from us.
Our freedom of choice should be first.
Music that I like........
Alternative-- most not-so-mainstream stuff
Acoustic-- only the more creative stuff
Dance
Emo-- who cares if people living the Hip-Hop cliché don't like it
Electronica
Experimental-- style, content, instruments, anything beyond mediocrity that at least shows that they're trying
Noise pieces-- could be called experimental, but deserves its own notation
Punk Rock-- ass kickin' stuff, fast, hard, honest
Indie Rock-- it's the most creative mainstream sound around
Synthetic/Sampled-- can have sounds like nothing else
House-- more the Chicago sound, not more recent Hip-Hop influenced stuff
nothing racist or mono-racial like Classical, Hip Hop, Bluegrass, or Country.
Movies
Fight Club-- Layers of plot, commentary on the emptiness of consumerism, and dissection of the film-viewing experience.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas-- Follows the book (surprise) and stars Johnny Depp
Eraserhead-- Low budget, and strange beyond belief. What it means, no one knows.
Star Wars-- Yes, in all its geeky appeal, a Sci-fi fairytale
True Stories-- Technology, jobs, small town characters, loneliness and Texas thrown together in one heartfelt, sometimes surreal movie. Narration by David Byrne of Talking Heads.
Everything is Illuminated-- Humor and deep meaning. A search for identity finds a broken past.
The Piano-- Only decent chick-flick around. Sexy, strange, deep.
Trees Lounge-- The emptiness of bar culture, destroyed futures and hope.
The Whale and the Squid-- a self absorbed, pretentious, disfunctional family
Television
Note: The is very little worthwhile on television, but I do like these....
The Young Ones-- Every stoopid episode. Brit comedy about culture clash between roommates.
Monty Python's Flying Circus-- Still the best comedy ever and still more original that anything else. Dead parrots, silly walks, dancing teeth, and outrageous French accents. What's not to like?
Star Trek: Next Generation-- The best of the Trekkie Enterprise. Technically far better than the original, better characters and story lines than any Trek after.
Nova-- PBS documentary program about science. Intelligent, informative, amazing.
Nature-- Another great PBS documentary, always wonderful, informative.
Books
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas-- Hunter S. Thompson. A ride through the thrill of 1960's excess, in all its witty, riotous, introspective, and sometimes ugly glory.
Junky-- William S. Burroughs. 1950's through 60's early drug culture, a book of unparalleled openness.
Chaos-- James Gleick. A new science revealed, chronologically from early discoveries to formation of a new math and it's applications and how it changed science and knowledge.
The Emperor's New Mind-- Penrose. Just what is our perception of reality, and what is the mind made of.
Year's Best SF(the entire series ofannual compilations)-- by various authors. Some of the best short stories ever. The short story format makes it easy to read on busy schedules.
