Introduction	As Sigmund Freud once said, we are as icebergs...
Interests	Ideas, sublime music, beauty, weird shit, electronics...
Favorite movies	Recently I've been thinking about the Lennon & Ono production, the Holy Mountain, recently remastered on DVD. Hilarious, irrational, fascinating... And of course, you know, Pasolini's Salo, Metzger's shagadelic Camille 2000 (what a hot soundtrack!!), Felini's Roma. If there's a recurrent theme of Italian style there, it's for a good reason....,
Favorite music	I'm a big fan of: Eurythmics (+Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart), Divinyls, David Bowie, Kate Bush, Coldplay, Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance (+Brendan Perry, Lisa Gerrard), Brian Eno, Style Council (+Paul Weller), Go-Betweens, Kraftwerk, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Ployd, Waterboys (+Mike Scott), Marianne Faithfull... and Michael Jackson! I generally like anything 'soulful' - from Al Green to the Dexy Midnight Runners. I'm also very fond of Soundtrack composers: notably, Piero Piccion, Ennio Morricone, Joseph LoDuca and Angelo Badalamenti.... For fun: The New Romantics, Cheesy 80s, any and all synthesiser music, anything with a hex drum will rock my boat...,
Favorite books	Film as a Subversive Art by Amos Vogel, a classic textbook on 'radical' film from the early 1970s. Anything by the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek! Amazing stuff, I wish more academics could be as engaging...
