I would rather talk about ones who have inspired me than influences, but at the moment I'm most into:
The Smashing Pumpkins' 90's catalogue, Michael Jackson's 80's catalogue, Suede's first 3 albums + the b-sides collection and singles from the last 2 albums, Pixies, Queen, pre-Green Weezer, Richey era Manics + Journal For Plague Lovers, the obvious acoustic suspects such as Elliott Smith, Nick Drake and Damien Rice (only O though, I'm afraid), pre- Black Market Music Placebo, Kuolleet Intiaanit, Porcupine Tree (and Steven Wilson overall), choice cuts from Morrissey and The Smiths, Henry Rollins' spoken word, all things Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bret Easton Ellis' books, Jeff Buckley (especially the cafe days), stand-up comedy by the likes of Eddie Izzard, Bill Hicks, Russell Brand, Jimmy Carr, George Carlin and Mitch Hedberg, Portis/Radiohead, Mastodon, Max Richter, Maj Karman Kauniit Kuvat, Kauko Röyhkä & Riku Mattila, post rockers Explosions In The Sky, Moving Mountains and Godspeed You! Black Emperor etc.
I've pissed away considerable chunks of my fleeting youth watching Twin Peaks, Blackadder, Gilmore Girls, The Mighty Boosh and Seinfeld.
My favourite german word at the moment is "Panzerfaust".
I prefer dogs with moustaches to regular ones which has undoubtedly had an effect on my craft as a songsmith.
Sounds Like

Uusi albumi Death Pop kaupoissa, 6 biisiä kuultavissa Myspacessa.
"Death Pop on nautittavan hallittu rikos listapoppia kohtaan." Mesta.net / J.A. Kaunisto
"Bändi on erittäin underground ja indie, mutta myös häpeilemättömän pop. Kun tähän lisätään hieman tummia vivahteita, saadaan yksi Suomen sympaattisimmista yhtyeistä." Oulun Ylioppilaslehti / Eero Kettunen
"Kauniita melodioita, tummia sävyjä, kimallusta ja hypnoottinen naislaulu – mainiot ainekset oivalliseen kuuntelunautintoon." Noise.fi / Ville Kuitunen
”A work of art that stands out from the glut of current Finn-exports of all music genres.” Nonpop.de / Michael We
”Viikon levy” Salon Seudun Sanomat / Veli-Matti Henttonen
