Influences: I read quite a bit as well as listen to music. My favorite authors are Shakespear (why is it that I always get a weird surprised look when I list him as number one?), Madeline L'Engle, Weldon Kees, Annie Dillard, Philip Levine (Fellow Fresno Enthusiast), Douglas Coupland, Nick Hornby, and counteless others I can't recall at this moment, but because I love words so much I figured that this information was as imperative (perhaps more so) than the following................................................My very favorite musical artists are: Radiohead, David Bowie, Lou Reed, The Velvet Underground, Jeff Buckley, Tom Waits, Neil Young, Sam Philips, Ryan Adams, Damien Jurado, Patti Griffin, Sufjan Stevens, Johnny Cash, Sixpence None The Richer, Over The Rhine, Pedro The Lion, Emmy Lou Harris, Unbelievable Truth, Innocence Mission, Frank Lenz, Violence & Valentines. ........................These places and things also inspire me: Scotland, The Pacific NW Metal Scene (not kidding), Fresno, CA., Films: (this will be sort of a weird list I think) Mansfield Park, Stranger Than Fiction, Meeting People Is Easy, Trainspotting, Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken (yes, THAT movie), Never Ending Story - eh... I'm bored now so I must be boring you.
