Favorite Music always listening to GUGUG the coolest Glaswegian ukulele player and musician extraordinaire in The World on youtube (nod to FOTC), Flight of the Conchords, Surfjan Stevens Christmas Box set, Soundtracks, Ukulele Club de Paris. Diehard Kinks fan. I love everything...tin pan alley, rockabilly...you name it. anything that expresses what i feel to be a punk ethos.
Favorite Books Too many to name-love Graham Greene. "The Ugly American, lean towards the old penguin classics, (auto)/biographies, and classics from Dickens to Wilde. Re-reading Treasure Island at the moment...
