Sounds Like
I listen to a lot of Kimya Dawson, but I also listen to a lot of Fats Domino. So, something like that._______________________________________*************You can find my very poorly recorded first album at http://www.mediafire.com/?j9u1gl2m9j4
That first album was called "Singing Songs at the End of the World." I'm not proud of it as an album, but there are some songs on it I really like, and still play live. It was self-released in January of 2008. In March I think of 2008 I released the followup on Wisconsin-based Indie label Thumb Records. It is called "Children's Music For Former Children." I like it. I think it's swell. I released a follow-up EP called "Songs With Friend" a few months after that. I have about 17 minutes of a follow-up to "Children's," including "Silhouette," from "Songs With Friends." The 5 songs on the myspace now will be on it, as well as "Train to Freedom," "Egypt," and "Busker Blues." Stay tuned for more information!
Emo was invented when Huddie Ledbetter wrote "If I cannot have Irene I'll take Morphine and Die."
Punk was invented when Jerry Lee Lewis looked at a Piano and decided it would sound better if he beat the shit out of it.
Indie was invented when The Velvet Underground decided a 7 minute song about hard drugs was just perfect for side 1 of their debut LP.
Rap was invented when Bo Diddley sang one note for a whole song all about how much of a bad-ass Bo Diddley was.
Alternative Country was invented when Gram Parsons decided draft dodging, marijuana, and hatred of country DJs were supposed to be set to a polka beat and played with ripping electric guitars.
So you could say that I am an Emo/Punk/Indie/Rap/Alt. Country Artist.
Because with a pedigree like that, I'll take it as the best compliment possible.

Andy Body, do you know of New MaximumDonkey? Look them up if you don't.
And send Bryan a message on his myspace or FB... convince him to get better so he can come to school this week (and see you or something). Hahaha, he sounded very excited that you were here, but not so inspired to come to school just to see me... lmao ;)
Oh, you really think so?! Our first whack at it... It was a school project that finally kicked us in the arse enough to finally do something instead of us hanging around like whiney pussies like we used to.
We were surprised (and SOOOO happy) when people actually really really liked it! It was crazy!

Hey Andy, It was great to meet you at the folk show on Saturday! Haha, I've been listening "Melt with You" recently too. I think I can see the resemblance you were talking about. Great tunes here, and I enjoyed reading the bio write-up you did too! Right on. Hope to see you around Phoenix again someday! -Zach
