...that all fit together somehow in my weird brain:

  • James Ellroy novels, particularly the "L.A. Quartet";
  • cool jazz, Afro-Cuban and bossa nova, in the car, in the living room, pretty much anywhere;
  • short-sleeved sport shirts, not necessarily aloha prints but plenty of those too;
  • Warner Brothers cartoons from the 40s to early 60s - got no use for the Roadrunner ones;
  • 50s-60s interior design, not just Tiki but Scandinavian and other sleek and/or groovy looks;
  • my favorite movie: Blade Runner. Nope, I don't know how it fits either...

Just free-associating,
