Life Outside AstronomyWhile my work is loads of fun, I have many outside interests that keep me busy and entertained. MusicI take music very seriously. The more challenging and complex, the better. The genres of progressive rock and jazz fusion are good starting points. Bands and artists I think are really amazing include:Frank Zappa, Mike Keneally, Ruins (or nearly anything else Tatsuya Yoshida does -in fact I think Koenjihyakkei is the greatest thing going right now), Django Bates, Miriodor, Interference Sardines, and Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. In September 2009 I attended the Rock in Opposition festival near Carmaux, France. It was unforgettable. TravelAstronomers have it good when it comes to travel, as our work takes us to many great places.
