Ok, here's how this works. Think of anywhere between one and three bands, books and movies that you like or think that people should be familiar with. Obscure or indie ones are preferred, although not required (in other words, most people have seen, say, Fight Club, so mentioning it probably won't benefit them even if you really liked the movie). Add your lists on top of the one(s) below, along with a link to your journal, and post it along with this text. Remember to use lj-cut if it gets too long.
Addendum by
Well, Rafferty mutated the meme to add "Television" to the genome... memome? So I think I'll follow suit.
