I'm a late-thirties music junkie who also has profound interests in theology (I'm a practicing Eastern Orthodox Christian but I spent a good deal of time looking outside of my realm), art (especially graphic art and typography), politics (my preference is for American Conservatism and a liberal economic view in the model of Milton Friedman and Friedrich von Hayek).
In terms of music, here's a sample of what I like:
Joy Division, New Order, Killing Joke, King Crimson, ABBA, Chet Baker, Miles Davis, Goran Bregovic, Bijelo Dugme, Mizar, Kismet, DJ Kiril Dzajkovski, Cheb Khaled, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Alim Qasimov, Sergei Kuryokhin, The Wedding Present, Robert Goulet, Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage, Pierre Henry, Pierre Schaeffer, Front 242, Skinny Puppy, Gram Parsons, The Beatles, The Byrds, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Jimi Hendrix, Emmylou Harris, Frank Sinatra, Jacques Brel, Tony Bennett, Mel Torme, Napalm Death, Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, Yes, Univers Zero, Akineton Retard, Senor Coconut, and about a billion more.
My literary tastes include: The Desert Fathers and those who created the Bible, The Tao Te Ching, The Upanishads, aspects of The Koran and The Talmud, and histories of the English and other languages.
The following authors I dig: Jorge Luis Borges, Ezra Pound, W. B. Yeats, Mark Steyn, William Burroughs, William F. Buckley, Leo Strauss, Cicero, Octavio Paz, William Shakespeare, Miguel de Cervantes, Ivan Capovski, Feodor Dostoevsky, Nikolai Gogol, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkein, Jack Kerouac, Leo Tolstoy, Czeslaw Milosz, and a score more.
For my philosophy-minded friends, and for anyone who wishes to strike up a conversation, I have redone the bulletin board, killing the old one:
