Influences: Local bands first: Abby Go Go; Baak Gwai; Chinese Dentist; The Dexateens; Tommy Gardner; The Hell; Taylor Hollingsworth; Ham Bagby and the Seige; Model Citizen; Ne'er-do-wells's; Justin Peake; and everybody else going against the odds by playing good, original, local music.
Charlie Parker; Miles and everybody who ever played with him; Sonny Rollins; Mingus; Herbie Handcock; Coltrane; Monk; Wes Montgomery; Jimmy Smith; Bill Evans; Joe Henderson; Duke Ellington; Jim Hall; Billy and Ella; and a bunch of other mostly dead, mostly black guys that I could spend days and days listing.
Now some living guys: Primus; Sonic Youth; Misfits;(the original line up, of course); Modest Mouse; John Scofield; Medeski Martin Wood; Brad Mehldau (if'n you don't know, dig it!); The Shins (Chutes Too Narrow at least, have not heard anything else.); Bela Fleck {and the Fleck Tones} (saw them a couple of years ago... and well, Good Stuff!); Joshua Redman; anything George Clinton (best live show I've ever seen...twice.); Radio Head (of course); John Zorn; Bjork; Portis Head; I think Tool is neat; Iron Maiden (favorite band when I was 14.); Cynic (favorite death-metal band when I was 17.); Tom Waits (of course); Pink Floyd (of course. Second concert I ever went to.); Mr. Bungle; Mr. Bungle; Mr. Bungle (and any other Mike Patton projects: Fantamos, Peeping Tom, Loveage...); OutKast; Sound Tribe Sector 9 (as far as all the silly Hippie-dippie jammy bands go they are pretty ok.); old DR. Dre and Snoop Dogg; Queens of the Stoned Age (saw them in the ATL. Grrrreat); The Mars Volta (saw them in the ATL as well and it was incredible.)The Claudia Quintet (these guys are heavy hitting, weird, New York jazz cats that nobody knows about. I saw them at the music building and it changed everything.); Really everything except Belle and Sebatian cause they make Simon and Garfunkle sound like Slayer.
I don't think there is any music that I hate. (Well, actually, Sweet Home Alabama... I may, in fact, hate that song.
