My Favourite Music
With some loss of generality, my favorite musicians are Maritime, Denali and Elliott Smith. I enjoy Jazz, Electronic, Alternative and Indie Rock. The ultimate resource on what I have listened to most in the past few years is my last.fm page.

Friends’ Music
My friend Jack Ludden started the band Pinewood Derby which did quite well while it was performing. He now owns and operates Pinewood Studios, a studio in Brookline, MA, where he is doing some pretty sweet work.
The Help (formerly known as Zen, and later Geno) also gets some credit. They’ve been together since eighth grade, and were a rival band until they started performing better than my band.
Gregory Jenkins is also a talented and creative singer and electronic artist. I recommend checking out the music on his myspace, and having a look at his website at www.gregtronic.com.
