My two favorite bands are Kyuss and Tool. As far as other rock/metal bands go, Clutch, Deftones, and King Crimson are some favorites of mine. I really dig Gregorian chant, Orthodox basso profundo, steppe folk music, various Hindu kirtan type dealies, a smattering of black, sludge, doom (especially!), stoner, and progressive metal.

Also bit of a hip hop head. Big L, Big Pun, Eminem, Nas, old Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Technique, et cetera. I actually had a bit of a rapping phase and I’m gonna take this opportunity to plug my mixtape.
