Hi,I'm Kayla:)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love 60s-70s music, including but not limited to Rock, Folk, Country, Psychedelic Rock, Baroque Pop, Folk Rock, California Sound… Such as The Band, The Beach Boys, The Mamas & The Papas, Eagles, Love, The Doors, The Byrds, Simon &Garfunkel, CSN, etc. I am also very fond of many singer-songwriters: Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Vashti Bunyan, Judee Sill, James Taylor, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Nick Drake, Gram Parsons, Kris Kristofferson, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan…

As for films, I like author-oriented directors with personal consciousness. I can't count the directors I like: Abbas Kiarostami, Edward Yang, Lee Chang-dong, Hong Sang-soo, Akira Kurosawa, Shuji Terayama, Yasujirō Ozu, Mikio Naruse, Nagisa Oshima, Sion Sono, Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Werner Herzog, John Cassavetes, Aki Kaurismäki, Martin Scorsese, David Lynch, Jim Jarmusch, Hal Harley, Robert Altman, Wim Wenders… I accept all genres of films.

Literature is a part of my life, especially Russian literature. I like reading while traveling. Chekhov, Dostoevsky and Tolstoy are very important to me. They constructed a part of my life, about myself, morality and persistent desire.

I am open and tolerant, and I hope to learn more about the world. I don't want to be blinded by narrowness, nor do I want ignorance to lead to prejudice.
