Sounds Like
Ya know...this is the area where all the bands post what they WISHED they sounded like. I suppose I was guilty of that too. Well...no more...I'm going to tell you directly who I'm trying my hardest to steal from starting with one of my idols, Sting. damn he's good and I don't care who knows it.
Also, I really think Trevor Horn and Seal have something special going on together. Trevor, if you ever want to work with some new talent..call me.
Also, I don't care what anyone says, John Mayer can write the hell out of a song. And finally, one of my biggest wishes when I grow up is to be able to write songs half as good as Justin Currie from the now disbanded Del Amitri.
If you don't know who they were....seriously, do your self a favor and go out and find some of their work. You'll be glad you did.
So, do I sound like any of these people? HA! I seriously doubt it, but a guy can dream right?

Dust and Shadow: an Account of the Ripper Killings by Dr. John H. Watson, available everywhere April 28th....
"At long last, an author of rare talent combines a thorough, enthusiastic knowledge of the Sherlock Holmes canon with truly rigorous research into, and respect for, the Jack the Ripper killings. Where others have failed, Lyndsay Faye's extremely impressive debut novel succeeds, on every level, providing thrilling entertainment without blatant exploitation. It will instantly take a place of distinction among the best attempts of contemporary authors to continue the work of Arthur Conan Doyle, and is, quite simply, a must for Holmes fans and Ripperologists alike.
