My favorite music: |
|
1001!!! |
| comments: For fear of growing stagnant, I'm finally revising this list! These are this year's and last year's new picks! 1001---cuz Mark knows how to dig! |
|
My Morning Jacket |
| comments: They border the year before last but they're so damn good, they made it to the list. They're my religion! |
|
God Speed You Black Emperor |
| comments: Another one from almost too long ago but who I also had to put down for the sheer awe of how they put me someplace else. |
|
Pavement and Lungfish |
| comments: I'm back to you ole boys. I need to do my read up but seems this is evolution in the work. |
|
Buju Banton |
| comments: Moves me too but truthfully, I've been music spare these last two years and am trying to get back on the train. Suggestions? What you folks listening to? |
My favorite movies: |
|
Dersou Ouzala |
| comments: One of my all time favorite Kurosawa films. Rewatched it not too long ago and not a bit of its beauty dampened or dated. |
|
Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit |
| comments: A BBC production based on the book of the same title. I dig the Queers. My admiration for this story--and it's such a story--here. |
|
Cracker |
| comments: Another BBC production (I think?). There's this emotional rawness in this brief crime series that's very truthful. |
|
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind |
| comments: Of course I've got a crush on Kate Winslet but here, also Jim Carrey. Sometimes I just love him. I've always loved her. |
|
Hero |
| comments: Directed by Yimou Zang. More a painting than a movie with tribute to Rashomon (by Kurosawa). |
My favorite authors: |
|
The essential Haiku: Versions of Basho, Buson, and Issa, ed. by Hass |
| comments: This has been a bedside companion for two years now. I just finished Issa's entry about his dying father and man, oh man! |
|
William McDonough and Micheal Braungart |
| comments: for Cradle to Cradle:Remaking the Way We Make Things and Paul Hawken's book, Natural Capitalism. I admit, I want to better the world. |
|
Steven Johnson |
| comments: Emergence...cuz the bees and ants really can do things better. |
|
From the 30's |
| comments: This book, Plow Man's Folly which I can't find anywhere and I forget the author but a read which was nothing but a delight as it all about the misfortunes and ignorance of man's less than better inventions. |
|
Wendell Berry |
| comments: Who I still look to for hope. |
