I love to act. I love to write. I love to watch movies and good TV. I love contemporary art. I really love music. Really. Good music can do things that nothing else can - it makes you exist at a level higher than you previously thought possible.
I love the production flourishes of the Beatles. I love danceable Indie music like The Rapture and Phoenix. I think that Regina Specktor is a godess. I couldn't be happier with the way Silverchair's latest album turned out. I love seeing performers really enjoying themselves on stage.
