My favorite music: |
|
Tchaikovsky |
| comments: "1812 Overture" Find one with real cannons and church bells. Woohoo! And they say death metal's too loud. HAH! |
|
Bach |
| comments: Listen to "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" all the way through. Honeychile, ain't nothin' more to say. |
|
Misfits |
| comments: It reminds me of my mis-spent youth. C'mon, "Angelfuck" fer cryin' out loud. |
|
Om Kolthoum |
| comments: THE voice of Egyptian music -- haunting and beautiful. |
|
Elvis |
| comments: Admit it though, anything between 1956 & 58 rocked. Though, in the name of full disclosure, I have sung along to "In the Ghetto." *sigh* |
My favorite movies: |
|
Belle et Bete |
| comments: Don't ever watch the Big Black Rat's version. Don't do it if you value your sense of aesthetics. Beg, borrow, or steal this French classic, if only for the human arm candelabrum. Beautiful. |
|
Tampopo |
| comments: Food. Japan. Food. Sex. Food. Mother. Food. Death. Food. Love. Food. |
|
Secretary |
| comments: Don't get all huffy about the subject matter -- there's more going on. |
|
MirrorMask |
| comments: Neil Gaiman. Dave McKean. 'Nuff said. |
|
Bringing Up Baby |
| comments: Hepburn, Grant, and a leopard? A screwball comedy with dinosaurs? Oh frabjous day. |
My favorite authors: |
|
Samuel Delany |
| comments: Because he loves language and has at least two books where the protagonists are poets. Find "Nova", "Babel-17", "Dhalgren" and anything else you can. Go now. Shoo! |
|
Tanith Lee |
| comments: Non-cloying, non-cutesy fantasy that deals with bigger questions of philosophy and the search for self. Gorgeous descriptions, and creatrix of worlds of dreams -- so real they can be felt, so magical that they slip away in light. |
|
Steven Aylett |
| comments: Find Steven Aylett and read him. You'll be . . . dang. |
|
William Burroughs |
| comments: The grand-daddy of 'em all. Start with "Naked Lunch" -- don't fuss about understanding it. Read it. Let it steep for a while. Read it again. Continue with "The Soft Ticket" or whatever else strikes your fancy. |
|
Neil Gaiman |
| comments: He tells of worlds that lie just outside our consciousness. Beautiful. Funny. Thoughtful. |
