the usual bohemian shit minus the fake, self-insisting, faux-bohemian enthusiasms.
Music
indie (i.e. SEBADOH, SONIC YOUTH), experimental (i.e SENTRIDOH, SYR, FAUST), trip-hop (i.e.'novaTRON, MEATBEAT,) can't think of anything else right now.
I'm also a HUGE fan of 'RECORDED DEMENTIA'! (i.e. 'The Shaggs', 'Mrs. Miller', 'Florence Foster Jenkins', the 'Alan Parsons Project', strange crap that for one reason or another turned out to be "accidental genius".
Movies
last great movie I saw was: 'THE BEAUTIFUL WASHING MACHINE', 'BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ'
DIRECTORS: Bergman, Fellini, Bellochio, Tarkovski, Kieslowski, Kubrick, Paul Thomas Anderson, Spike Lee, Lars von Trier, Truffaut, Wong Kar-wei, Kurosawa,
...........I could go on, but I'd rather you name-drop for yourselves from now on.
Television
yes...
CURRENTLY WATCHING: 'UNDERBELLY' An Austrailian mob series that's quite good, actually. Just finishing the first season.
Books
re. what I said about name dropping, but since it was asked
1)'Infinite Jest' David Foster Wallace
2)'The Tin Drum' Gunter Grass / 'Fima' Amos Oz
3)'Rock Hard Abs' Robert Kennedy
Heroes
People who do things for others, and ask for nothing in return simply because it's the right thing to do.
My HERO OF THE MONTH:
IRENA SENDLER (1910-2008) who saved thousands of children from the Warsaw ghetto, despite risking certain death. "Every child saved with my help is the justification of my existence on this Earth," she said, "and not a title to glory." How modest was she? No one knew who she really was until a group of students wrote a play about her not a decade ago.

About me: I'm Black, Gay and Jewish..sort of like Sammy Davis Jr. minus the Sinatra, Rat-Pack problem.
I'm a journalist by night and a CPA and UW student by day.
I'm in my 30's.
I live in Seattle
I'm in two bands: THE BLACK JEWISH HOMOSEXUAL EXPERIENCE (forced into it!) and SORRY, EVERYBODY!
I'm writing a collection of short stories entitled
"A [Damaged] Bundle"
I will disown my children if they come back home liking Pearl Jam!!!
Who I'd like to meet: GUYS:
Decent indie-rock guys. Lit guys. TV-guys (who aren't brain-deadened by it). Sarcastic guys. Open minded guys. Caring guys, etc... C'mon, no one says, "I want to meet an asshole who will treat me like shit and end up killing me," do they?
I'm not looking for Mr. Right, just Mr. 'Not-So-Wrong-As-The-Others'.
CELEBS?:
I'm a journalist so I've met some. They're assholes (in some cases) just like anyone else which in turn takes the fun out of it; the concept of meeting celebreties. And it can backfire because of certain members' overt personal shortcomings. For example, I know he's an amazing artist, but I HATE Stephen Malkmus. But it can go the other way. Jack Dangers and Michael Moore are accomodating on a personal and human level and exceed expectations. Even Eddie Vedder is a cool guy and I'd personally disown any child of mine that walked in the door announcing he or she liked 'Pearl Jam'...I'm serious!
