About Me

One man and a laptop strive for world domination.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 7/8/2006
Band Website: Internet? Never heard of it.
Band Members: Action, Jackson!
Influences: Everything. It's probably easier to list non-influences, like say, Nu Metal. Sterile guitar tones and fake hard-assery? Ugh. "Dude, I have tattoos. I'm dark and brooding..." Uh huh...

However: I should list some stuff to keep you hanging around on my page. Since this is an electronic project, here are some of my electro favs first...

Bonobo, The Chemical Brothers, earlier Fat Boy Slim, Plug, Cornelius, Oakenfold, M.I.A., Aphex Twin, National Forest, Kruder & Dorfmeister, The Postal Service, Midwest Product, Gnarls Barkley, M83, Hot Chip... and a bunch of others that I can't think of right now.

Other influences include: J Mascis, Bob Pollard, Arcade Fire, Pavement, Chavez, Queens of the Stone Age, Call Me Lightning, Built to Spill, Modest Mouse, The Flaming Lips, The Go! Team, John Frusciante, Helmet, Leo Kottke, Steve Vai, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Man or Astroman?, Menomena, MMW, Ween, John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Metallica, Radiohead, Coheed & Cambria, Battles, Super Furry Animals, The Bad Plus, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, The Silversun Pickups, Bloc Party, Tokyo Police Club, Clutch, The Mars Volta, Spoon, Wolf Parade, These Arms Are Snakes, The Raconteurs...and a bunch more.
