| Introduction | Born in Boone, NC. |
|---|---|
| Favorite Movies | Just saw Elim Klimov's Come and See, which I hold as a masterpiece. Incredible faces. I used to like Tarkovsky's stuff a lot, but I've gone off it lately. Herzog's dwarf movie. Nicholas Roeg before the mid-80s. Movies that are in Michael Weldon's first Psychotronic Encyclopedia. |
| Favorite Music | Eclectic taste but the Go-Betweens are special. Still prefer physical CDs and LPs to downloaded files. Currently listening a lot to Judee Sill, Nick Drake, Shelagh McDonald, Sally Timms, John Cale, Jane Weaver, Skip James. |
| Favorite Books | Reading Willa Cather's novels, Daniel Levitin's This Is Your Brain on Music, Tess Gallagher's brilliant poetry collection Amplitude. |
When your science teacher smashed a frozen rose with a hammer, did you warm the petals to bring them back to life?
I couldn't.
