Radiohead, Dmitri Shostakovich, Samuel Barber, Stellamara, Lumin, Niyaz, Vas, Elliot Smith, Flaming Lips, Gorillaz, Nusrat Fatah Ali Khan, Gotan Project, Kings of Convenience, Rasputina, Pentaphobe, Amon Tobin, Dj Cheb I Sabbah, The Toids, The Beatles, Cat Power, Morphine, Been prowling for good global beats since I started bellydancing.

Movies
Good costume dramas, Oscar hopefuls, tongue in cheek kung fu, and those that rely on a fresh, excellent script (especially Charlie Kaufman)
Television
I don't actually own one. People hear this and get these pitying expressions on their faces, and they try to foist one on me, at which point I run away.
Books
Too many to name, but all time curl up with a glass of wine favorites include Gabriel Garcia Marquez--100 Years of Solitude; Complete Plays of William Shakespeare; Complete poems of Christopher Marlowe; and a bit of John Dunn when I'm feeling cheeky. Neil Gaiman, China Mieville and another rereading of Harry Potter for a quick escape.
Heroes
All of the amazing women I get to work with.

looks like it was awesome. none of my group could make it. one had to work that night, one had to work at 4:30am the next day. Hope everything went beautifully last night
Sorry I was missed at Tribo and missed your Bird piece. I've been so tied up with finishing up my project that it's been the only thing on my mind lately. Pls do send my any link to that piece if it's online. Would love to see it.
Beautiful, beautiful. The music is really goood. I really like the motion of the pieces. When was this filmed? Thanks for this. By the way how was Tribe Original event; did you get to come down? I wasn't there this time but i heard it was fun.
I really hope to come out. I miss it. I was so busy that I got in a rut of not coming and recently it's been easier to make excuses than get off my butt.
