Scarling, Das Vibenbass, Daft Punk, Eminem, Jay-Z, Le Tigre, Modest Mouse, Belle & Sebastian, DJ Colette, Derrick Carter, Mark Grant, Blonde Redhead, Soul Coughing, Papas Fritas, MC Solar, Rebirth of Cool series, Hotel Coste, Elliot Smith, De la Soul, the Clash, Pixies, Mindless Self Indulgence, Smiths, Junior Senior, Tribe Called Quest, Tragically Hip, 50 Cent, Outkast, Classic Prince, Portishead, Dimitri from Paris, Minor Threat, Specials, Kay Starr - yup, pretty much a bit of everything

I'd be cool and say I don't watch TV but I'd be lying. Six Feet Under, Alias, Law and Order:SVU, Sex in the City, Heroes, Veronica Mars, America's Next Top Model, Top Chef, Project Runway, Makin the Band - and I miss the WB - the CW is a sad replacement.

The Company, Winter's Tale, Crimson Petal and the White, Fear and Trembling, The Trail, Devil in the White City, Wicked, Choke, Survivor, Invisible Monsters, Dante's Inferno, anything by Oscar Wilde, Michael Crichton if I'm on a plane, US magazine if nobody's looking. I'm addicted to BN.com - and I have to say it but I really don't like David Eggers
