My favorite music: |
|
The Strokes |
| comments: I bought the CD a year after it came out and then kicked my own ass for not getting it sooner. And spare me the uber-cool rhetoric about how they're rich boys, Upper East Side refugees, etc. They're a great band. Suck it up. |
|
Joni Mitchell |
| comments: Unbelievable. The first songs I listen to in the morning. |
|
Ella & Louis |
| comments: Some of the best duets in history. I wish they were still here. |
|
Ryan Adams |
| comments: I could go on and on, but frankly, there's no point. Don't read the British press to form your opinion about the music--just listen. |
|
PJ Harvey |
| comments: I saw her at the Palladium, and I decided that when I grow up, I want to be her. |
My favorite movies: |
|
Everyone Says I Love You |
| comments: My favorite Woody Allen film, a musical set in New York. Most people smile politely when I tell them this. |
|
Breakfast at Tiffany's |
| comments: I'm such a sap. I cry every time I hear "Moon River". Don't tell anyone. |
|
The Wizard of Oz |
| comments: If you don't like this movie, I don't think we can be friends. Well, maybe we could, but you'd have to be pretty damn cool. |
|
The Sound of Music |
| comments: When I was little, I always wished my family climbed trees and sang together, just like the Von Trapps. Then I found out we were clumsy and tone deaf. |
|
The Royal Tenenbaums |
| comments: I've recommended this movie to 5 people and NONE of them have liked it. One person even turned it off halfway. What a bunch of L7's. |
My favorite authors: |
|
J.D. Salinger |
| comments: On a good day, I'm Esme. On a bad day, Franny. |
|
Francesca Lia Block |
| comments: She truly makes Los Angeles the City of Angels. Read her & be happy. |
|
F. Scott Fitzgerald |
| comments: In my next life, I want to go to a Gatsby party. |
|
Carson McCullers |
| comments: I just finished "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" and how great is this line? "The whole world was this music and she could not listen hard enough." |
