I'm a creative type who enjoys talking and thinking about making things, but rarely actually makes anything. Inside my own head I am so productive, but there isn't much tangible product to show for it...does that make me a minimalist?
I've been getting into Andre Tarkovsky, Werner Herzog, Lars Von Trier, and Atom Egoyan recently. David Lynch, David Cronnenberg, Guy Madden, Jan Svankmeyer, the Brothers Quay, & Federico Fellini continue to blow my mind. Terrence Malick is a poet of the film medium. I also have a soft spot for almost anything Jim Henson or Vincent Price were ever involved in.
Eric Miller, Snowman Plan, Godspeed you Black Emperor! (or almost anything on the Constellation Records label for that matter.) Radiohead, Belle &; Sebastian, Clinic, Michael Nyman, Tom Waits, John Fahey, John Cale, John Vanderslice, whatever I've heard Danger Mouse produce I tend to enjoy
Every show I ever like gets cancelled early, I'm a curse for television. Examples: Carnivale, Arrested Development, Deadwood...If you are in anyway involved in a television program, I hope for your sake that i don't like it.

just the sight of you makes me chuckle... but that's not a bad thing! good to see your mug.
