| Influences | I get influenced by a lot of things: books, pictures, TV shows, movies, popular culture, family, friends, work, fear, failure, hope, regret, celebrities, infactuations, the first sip of whiskey and the last taste of vomit, the hum of my computer fan at 1am, the ache of my eyes at 5am, the heat of my breath at night, the arguing from the neighbours below me, Larry David, comics, dreams & nightmares, the sound of the traffic, the heat of summer and the chill of winter, Mulder’ slamdowns, the beat in a club and the intoxication in my stomach, late nights and early mornings, the 20’s blues, 1930’s
Here’s a small list of music I like: Beach Boys, Elliott Smith, Neutral Milk Hotel, Kevin Devine, Built To Spill, Life Without Buildings, Smog, Will Oldham, Geoff Farina, Jason Molina, Sean Watkins, Neil Young, Bob Nanna, The Cardigans, Tim Kasher, Ben Gibbard, Teenage Fan Club, Mock Orange, Chris Thile, Inspection 12, Chet Baker, System And Station, Eisley, Simon And Garfunkel, Couterfit, Miles Davis, Nickel Creek, Guster
The list is endless, but I don’t have the talent to sound like these guys. |
