About Me

  • About Me: slightly more less not world-weary

Contact Info

  • AIM: complicatedlight

Movies

  • Favorite Movies: Pi (same director as Requiem for a Dream, which I also...umm, "liked"), Donnie Darko, David Gordon Green's All the Real Girls, ET (yes, ET), The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke, Buckaroo Banzai

Food

  • Favorite Cuisine: I'm trying to perfect all bean dishes. The world would be a better place if better bean recipies existed. Because, with a good tasting bean, then we could all live happily on beans and rice...with a little ham thrown in, and salads, and so get off this rediculous industrial farming spiral we're all tubing down.
  • Foods I hate: Snobby shit artfully displayed on small plates...or large plates

Style

  • Can't live without: a good set of T shirts

Music

  • Favorite Artists: Michael Shrieve, Bill Frissel, Wayne Horvitz, Transglobal Underground, Brian Eno, Harold Budd, Larry Fast (Synergy), Tangerine Dream (anything between 75 and 86), Kraftwerk, Aphex Twin, DJ Shadow, Dwight Yoakam, George Strait, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Early Pat Metheney, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Pullman, Group 87, Neil Rolnick, Early Mark Isham, Miles, Dave Brubeck Quartet, Pizzicato Five, Prefab Sprouts, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Art of Noise, Man Jumping, Pengiun Cafe Orchestra, Durutti Column...and so on
  • Favorite Albums: Anything by Larry Fast, Tangerine Dream's Tangram, Don Slepian's Reflections (the album that doesn't go anywhere because it's already there), and the Mo' Cookin' compilation
  • Favorite Genre: I pretty much dig anything with inspired composition, especially if it's got a groove. I'm also total sucker for a well-executed breakdown. A lot of this turns up in electronic and experimental stuff - but I also dig the newer West Coast "Space Jazz" sound of Shrieve, Frissell and Horvitz, and I gotta pay homage to a kickin' country tune now and then...
  • Favorite Songs: Probably the first track on TD's album Force Majeure
  • Favorite Lyrics: Paddy McAloon of Prefab Sprout has written some awesome lyrics
  • Songs for Roadtrips: Anything with the Tangerine Dream Train going Full Bore (e.g., Logos Live in London)
  • Songs I hate: The Hokey Pokey
  • Guilty Pleasure: Wham

Books

  • Favorite Books: I don't read that many books, but when I do I make sure they count.

High School

  • School Name: Florida State University School

College

  • School Name: Brown University
  • Major(s): Physics
