If I were maternally inclined, I would have Alan Lee's babies. Seriously, the man has been my hero since I was 8 years old - he is the reason that I paint, the reason I want to battle with watercolours and a genuine and consistent inspiration to me always. I have way too many (ie. all) of his books and was on the verge of tears when I met him... It had been a long day.

Silence Never Heard - Calexico: Feast of Wire

I, very quickly fell head over heals in love with Calexico and this album remains my favourite. I adore ever single aspect of it - the instrumentals to the dark and winding lyrics. This is my "default" album, when I can't be bothered deciding what to listen to, this goes on because I know I will always enjoy it.

Folk Me - Flight of the Conchords

New Zealand's fourth most popular folk parody act. How I love them so. They're consistently hilarious, down to earth and plain brilliant. They have a unique brand of humour that never fails to make me giggle, and their determined kiwiness is just another reason to admire them.

I lost my Guy Ritchie virginity to Snatch about a year ago - and I have no regrets whatsoever. The man's unique brilliance has me hooked from the first shot. I adore his work.

As with all Harry Potter characters, the staff of Hogwarts are a bunch of wonderfully developed and varied personalities that, despite their quirkyness are utterly believable. Beautifully written, I adore every single one of them from Snape to Grubbly Plank. They're not simply there because our hero attends a school, they add to the story and the wonderful HP universe as a whole.

The beautiful EP that is the result of a collaboration of two of my most treasured artists. This is a subtle and simply gorgeous album that I just can't get enough of.

This man is seriously my hero. My esteem for him mounts weekly, I just can't describe how much I admire his vision, his aptitude and his pure creativity. I can't help but feel like he would understand a part of me that I'm still struggling to comprehend - that part that's just beyond the limits of my imagination. He seems not to have these limits.

I guess I grew up with Peter's films, not that my parents approved of such comedy. Heavenly Creatures was my favourite film for the longest time so when I heard that Peter was doing LotR I was thrilled. His vision and sensitivity are inspiring, and his humour much too close to my own.

I'm quite a romantic person and I find something entirely magical about rain. I love every kind of rain, warm summer rain, freezing spring rain and even lashing, aggressive, hurts-exposed-skin rain. I love being in it, I love watching it, I love the feeling of the air just after it's rained and how all of the colours just seem that much more vibrant.

I am an absolute sucker for accents of any kind - potentially because my own is so awful and everyone else seems far beyond exotic in comparison. But my favourite is the Scottish. I don't even care if I can't understand them, I just adore the sound. Male, female, ambiguous, whatever, I'm happy to gaze blankly while listening blissfully.
