Influences:
Without Pink Floyd, (and in particular David Gilmour's emotive guitar) I don't know where I would be today.
Led Zeppelin may be the reason that I exist - my parents fell in love dancing to Stairway to Heaven. They're also one of the greatest bands ever (Zeppelin, not my parents).
The Tea Party has taken me to mysterious and beautiful places of my psyche many dreamy Sunday afternoons.
Nine Inch Nails have been a dreamy Sunday afternoon band for me as well -- there's something about the edge and beauty of Trent's music played really loud that is very soothing to me, very comforting.
TOOL!! -- a source of inspiration to go out into the world and create something positive.
Seeing Radiohead live is a spiritual experience that I have been blessed to experience twice. I believe it was Bono who said, "Radiohead are so good, it's scary." Good scary.
The Flaming Lips -- 'nuff said.
Godspeed You Black Emperor are a stubbornly independent band from Montreal that have influenced my perspective on the music industry.
John Lennon, Tom Waits, David Bowie, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Jimmy Page, Joni Mitchell, Ben Harper, Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley, Jack White, Sufjan Stevens, Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah, A Silver Mt. Zion
