Love music from the 1980s, especially British synthpop/art-rock/new wave; I am also getting into many of today's synthpop artists with a little help from my friends! My all-time favorite artist is Bryan Ferry. The man knows how to transform feelings into art. And he sculpts his art with substance, sophistication and style. I am an Amoeba Records addict. Amoeba on Sunset in L.A. is music heaven! I hope to be buried there one day.

I only rate music that I like, by artists that I like and by genres that I like. I don't see the point of panning artists/music that don't appeal to me. It must have some purpose and it must meet the needs of those who like it, even if I don't care for it.

I also love movies, especially classic movies from the 1930s and 1940s. The 1930s Art Deco period is my absolute favorite, though. Love Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers, Marion Davies, Norma Shearer, Dick Powell, Don Ameche, The Marx Brothers, Ray Milland, Dana Andrews, Robert Cummings, Deana Durbin, Irene Dunne, Victor Mature, etc. etc. etc.

In terms of modern movies, I especially like British and French films, like "The History Boys," "A Room with a View," "Amelie," "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day" and "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not."
