Suggestions

As you will see over the next days, my tastes in music, movies and books may seem a bit weird to some. 

I tend to enjoy finding new music, as I am getting very bored by the main international artists, such as David Guetta or Rihanna.This is probably also because of the recurrence of these commercial songs, as I am a great fan of radio and sometimes clubbing. During the last year, I have been able to discover new genres - thanks to some of my friends - such as Drum&Bass, Dubstep, Electro, or Minimal. As I am new to this world, I am very into it at the moment, but I am open to all styles as long as they are interesting to discover (not like that "Tacata" garbage).

I also tend to prefer, what is starting to be known as "mindfuck movies" (very good list by Art Vandelay). As I discovered Kubrick's masterpieces, I became very attracted to these movies which induced a need to formulate your own analysis and explanation. Like everyone I also enjoy comedy, but I am often disappointed by Hollywood's dumb comedies, such as "Very Bad Trip". In terms of comedy, I am very attached to British comedy, which brings most of the time this pinch of subtility. Some of my favorite comedies are "The Boat that Rocked", "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz", (funnily, starring Nick Frost and Bill Nighy in all three of them).

 

Finally, for reading, I am a big fan of British or American classics, as well as weider, less known books. My favorites include, "1984" by George Orwell, "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, which are both big classics, as well as "Kill Your Friends" by John Niven, a very weird and deranged book about the drugged music industry.

I will probably make reviews about all these books, movies and albums, and hopefully, I will make you want to experience them. However, I would also like you to suggest anything you think I might find interesting to talk about (according to my tastes, or to help me dicover something new!). I hope I am open minded enough, and I might be very interested, as long as it's nothing like "The Avengers"...
