My Interests |
|
| I am fascinated with 'Dandy' culture as well as the pop culture in London, Paris and Tokyo before the 1970's. I also collect books that deal with Boris Vian. I like to wonder around cities with an outdated map. Los Angeles is actually an interesting 'walking' city. But nothing compared to Tokyo and Paris. Every corner and avenue there is something new to discover. I am also totally obsessed with music. I don't like bad album art. Therefore my entire collection are covers or designs that I find beautiful. Right now I am looking at the Rolling Stones Now! album. That's a nice cover! I feel that way with books as well. I won't buy a book if it has a horrible cover. It depresses me to be surrounded by bad book covers. | |
I'd like to meet:I met them all! You know who you are. |
|
Music:Sparks, Associates, Monk, early Miles Davis (can't get my ears around the electric period), Boris Vian, Serge Gainsbourg, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Sun records, Scott Walker (especially the recent material), Billy Fury (amazing!), Joe Meek, Buddy Holly, Charlie Parker, Cowboys International, Jean Paul Yamamoto, Michel Legrand, Nino Rota, Morricone, Cramps, David Bowie, Don Byas, Gene Vincent, Gillian Hills (sort of a Bardot off-cast, but really great French pop singer and actress), Seksu Roba, Jack Nitzsche |
|
Movies:Jean-Luc Godard, Georges Franju, Louis Feuillade, Buster Keaton, Jean-Pierre Melville, Kenneth Anger, Jean Cocteau, Thom Anderson, Lois Weber and basically all the great classic filmmakers from Japan.I really detest current cinema. It would be wonderful if Hollywood would stop making movies for five years - and in its place they would release old films to first-run theaters. |
|
Television:You're joking! What a horrible medium. |
|
Books:Boris Vian, Yukio Mishima, Osamu Dazai, Patrick Hamilton, Edogawa Rampo, Dennis Cooper, Marcel Allain (Fantomas), Patrick Dennis, PG Wodehouse, John Wieners, Tristian Tzara, Blaise Cendrars, Guy Debord, Patricia Highsmith, Dorothy B. Hughes, Howard Hughes (his memos to his employees), Nic Cohn, Frank O'Hara |
|
Heroes:I really don't have any. Although I can admire a person if they are dressed well. |
